We do know what happened. His staff is so incompetent that they either: 1) didn't have a back up plan for getting him to the ceremony that included going by car if the helicopter couldn't fly, or 2) they couldn't get Trump to understand the bad optics of not showing up in the rain. General Kelly went by car in his place, so I'm going with #2.
Its amazing how many of you have no idea how the secret service works. Gen Kelly is not covered by the secret service. He is covered by the US Army. Only a few are covered by the secret service. They are the final deciders of what happens, where the President goes, how he goes, if he goes, where he stays, what he eats, where he eats etc etc etc. and the secret service will never tell you the truth.
Many of you need to curb your hatred and acting like poor losers and start learning to read.
That stupid link someone posted about Obama speechwriter saying there is always a backup plan and using the military is full of crap. The President does not depend on the military to guard him. Only the secret service. The stupidity and hatred in this thread is unbelieveable.
Other world leaders did not go to Aisne-Marne where Trump was expected to take part in a memorial for Americans. They attended memorials at other cemeteries for their own war dead.
Yeah so send in Kelly ---- who cares if they get him right
Kelly doesn't get the entourage of security that a President gets.
Its easer to sneak one person through hostile territory than a platoon.
A President traveling through the country side of France requires air support and its grounded.
"It's incredible that a president would travel to France for this significant anniversary - and then remain in his hotel room watching TV rather than pay in person his respects to the Americans who gave their lives in France for the victory gained 100 years ago tomorrow," David Frum, who served as a speechwriter to former president George W. Bush, wrote in a series of tweets.
The man shows many of the early signs of dementia. Nothing he does or doesn't do is surprising anymore, and given the massive contradictions in it all I have no belief that his actions are really rationally glued together in his mind.
They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate DonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen....
Honestly, it's almost better that he wasn't there. He just cheapens everything he attends by his mere presence. He looks like a doofus, talks like and imbecile, and has not gravitas in serious situations. Glad he wasn't there to cause another embarrassing scene.
