    The Paris "excuse" comes from Trump and the White House, really credible sources there, and don't bother with regurgitating the SOP and implying that that was the case, no one has provided anything actually from those sources stating such

    Too tired from his trip is lame, even he didn't employ that one, Trump told America he was too busy, "making important phone calls." And two years in and he has yet even hinted let alone actually visited any military close to harm's way, yet he finds time in his "busy" schedule for weekend golf junkets

    Trump has never shown any evidence above lip service that he appreciates the sacrifice and service of the military. One doesn't publicly diss military heroes nor veterans if they really understood what it meant to be a member
    of course he's gonna claim the best for the military that was in spite of the process you claim was "worked thru" by the House. But he said multiple times he would never sign such a bill again. it was a one off.

    You seriously do not understand logistics why the rest of the world leaders could make it and he could not.

    1. too far from AF#1 if he had to evacuate
    2. the 4 hour motorcade route was not secured ( recall Paris has had it's fair share of terrorists attacks as well)
    3. chopper could not fly in the dense fog
    4. logistics decision was made by White House Military Office https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_...ilitary_Office
    & HMX-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMX-1

    as to why other newz sites did not pick up on the logistics -it's not unusual for 1 story line to percolate up
    thru fake news and be regurgitated.

    The site I linked is dedicated to transportation issues - mostly cars -so they would get the logistics
    http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone...sident-himself

    a 55-mile trip is a long way for the sprawling Presidential Motorcade in a foreign country and there are a slew of issues that could slow or even stop such a motorcade from happening even if it was prepared as a contingency option.

    These include everything from mechanical issues with key vehicles in the motorcade to unforeseen route problems to actionable threat intelligence to scheduling issues.
    Well before a decision to use the motorcade or not is made, routes have to be mapped and inspected in detail with deep coordination with local police.
    Even objects that could conceal potential threats (mailboxes, trash cans, manhole covers etc.) need to be removed or sealed along the motorcade's proposed path and alternate escape routes have to be figured out as well.

    Are you happy Trump said that was a "mistake?" there's your validation for TDS
    "Got in late"? Good thing there was not an alert a 3 a.m. The fucking prick is a weasel, a coward, just a bag or elephant shit needing to be set aside.

    When are you useful idiots going to get off your knees, and start acting like men? He denigrates the military every chance he gets, lies to the veterans, and they lets them go bankrupt when he could prevent it.

    He could have gone be but he said he had thought attending the Paris ceremony the day before was enough.
    He did however tell Wallace he made a mistake by not going

    “I was extremely busy on calls for the country, we did a lot of calling as you know,” he told Fox News"

    Guess he could only use his lame Secret Service excuse once, now he's "too busy."

    Appears he confused his promise not to play golf cause he would be "too busy" with not to take time to personally recognize Veterns cause he was "too busy"

    Great post.. Trump has about 7 hours of "executive time" every day when he can watch TV, gossip and tweet.

    I think Donald Trump is terrified of going into a dangerous area...like the fringes of a war zone.

    He has the backbone of a bowl of Jello...banana Jello, at that.

    He is a coward.

    I don't think he is a liar.

    As we approach the end of President Donald Trump's first year in office, the list of extraordinary things he has done — for both good and ill — is nothing short of remarkable. Trump inspires such deep emotions in his critics and supporters that many have struggled to objectively assess his presidency. Some are so blinded by their hatred of Trump that they refuse to acknowledge the good he has done, while others are so blinded by devotion that they overlook almost any transgression.

    In my columns, I’ve tried to give Trump the credit he deserves when he does the right thing, while calling him out when he does the wrong thing. So, here is my list of the 10 best things Trump has done in his first 11 months. (In a subsequent column, I will give you my list of the 10 worst.)

    10. He enforced President Barack Obama’s red line against Syria’s use of chemical weapons. When the regime of Bashar Assad used a toxic nerve agent on innocent men, women and children, Trump didn't wring his hands. He acted quickly and decisively, restoring America’s credibility on the world stage that Obama had squandered.

    9. He has taken a surprisingly tough line with Russia. Trump approved a $47 million arms package for Ukraine, sent troops to Poland’s border with Russia and imposed new sanctions on Moscow for violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

    8. He recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Four American presidents promised to do it, but only one actually did. This is why the American people elected Trump. He does what he promises to do, for better or for worse — in this case, definitely for the better. Even Jeb Bush tweeted his approval.

    7. He withdrew from the Paris climate agreement. After George W. Bush pulled out of the disastrous Kyoto treaty, U.S. emissions went down faster than those in much of Europe. The same will be true for Trump's departure from the Paris accord. Combined with his approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, and opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration, Trump is helping usher in a new age of American energy development.

    6. He got NATO allies to kick in $12 billion more toward our collective security. Decades of pleading by the Bush and Obama administrations failed to get NATO allies to meet their financial commitments to the alliance, but Trump’s tough talk and reluctance to affirm America's Article V commitment did the trick. NATO is stronger as a result.

    5. He has virtually eliminated Islamic State's physical caliphate. Trump removed the constraints Obama placed on our military and let it drive the terrorists from their strongholds.

    4. He admitted he was wrong on Afghanistan and reversed Obama's disastrous withdrawal. In a rare admission, Trump declared: “My original instinct was to pull out. ... But all my life, I've heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office. ... A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum for terrorists.”

    3. He enacted historic tax and regulatory reform that has unleashed economic growth. Trump signed the first comprehensive tax reform in three decades and removed the wet blanket of Obama-era regulations smothering our economy. We are now heading into our third consecutive quarter of above 3 percent growth.

    2. He is installing conservative judges who will preside for decades. With his appointment of Neil M. Gorsuch, Trump secured a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, and he is moving at record pace to fill the federal appeals courts with young conservative judges.

    1. He, not Hillary Clinton, was inaugurated as president. Trump delivered the coup de grace that ended the corrupt, dishonest Clinton political machine.

    There are many other significant achievements that did not make the top 10. Trump has taken a clear, strong stand against the narco-dictatorship in Venezuela, and he renamed the “Asia-Pacific” the “Indo-Pacific” to include India in the larger task of preventing Chinese hegemony in Asia. Trump has made clear that he is willing to use force to stop North Korea from deploying nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of destroying U.S. cities — which has prompted China to finally put real pressure on Pyongyang. We’ll see if it works.

    The record of achievement suggests that, despite the noxious tweets and self-inflicted wounds emanating from the White House, Trump has the potential to become one of the most consequential conservative presidents in modern American history. The question is: Does all this good outweigh the bad?

    Double seriously. Trump evaded the draft in Nam claiming he did his duty by evading STDs. He criticised several generals and military leaders while claiming he knows more than his generals do. He criticized a gold Star familily repeatedly. He has not visited the troops in 2 years. He sent the military to the Texas border as an election stunt costing millions and keeping them away from families for Thanksgiving. He blew off vising the military cemetery in France He belw off visiting Arlington on Veterans day, He criticized Gen John Allen. Criticized Mccain. He criticized Adm. McRaven. He wanted Florida to only count votes on election day, thererby eliominating votes coming from soldiers over seas.
    Trump is an insult to the country and the military.
