There is probably a good reason the ceremony was either cancelled or postponed and you can bet the liberal source conveniently leaves that part out. It probably wasn't even Trump's call.

Also, this is about WW1, I doubt any of you Leftists were cared about it until now.

My goodness. Your fingers should be burning typing "Leftist" that many times. Do you have some synonyms for the phrase? Can you type someone else? Or is a limited vocabulary slowing you down?

The reason is noted in the OP.

Also at the link below.
Spoilers: it was the rain.

Probably afraid he’d melt or something.
Meanwhile, the adults carried on.


“Despite the light rain, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a moving ceremony in Compiègne, northeast of Paris, to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the First World War armistice.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended his own ceremony to pay tribute to Canadian troops killed at Vimy Ridge, on the battlefields of northeastern France.”

Why are you so touchy about being called a Leftist? If that is what you are, then that will be what you will be called.

Wasn't too rainy for Macron or Merkel. But snowflakes melt in the rain.

I watched news about the ceremony and saw the newsfeed on the screen stating that Trump couldn't attend because of the weather. Trudeau was wearing his suit as were many veterans, some people wore coats. It wasn't windy or raining. Trump's decision to skip the ceremony cannot be related to the weather. Why was he afraid to attend such an important event?

I wonder what kind of fake news he's going to spin about the weather when he's back home - tornados, hurricanes, mudslides, tidal waves?

So, you decide to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks, huh?

Interesting approach.

Interesting. Facts are facts. When it's ridiculous and needing deflection, they come out in 150+ post count droves on a thread.


Facts are facts. Look at this puny thread. Sad.
Yep, nothing to see here, move along. The President is disrespecting the honour and memory of the fallen on such a momentous occasion as the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, but hey, Jim Acosta wouldn't give up the mic. Let's talk about that some more, shall we?

Saying that there's probably a good explanation for it other than the Leftist version, is not throwing anything at the wall. Although, I must say that throwing every kind of hate towards Trump these past few years against the wall to see if it sticks is something the Left has perfected to an artform.

Is Trump simply sulking because of the recent election results?

I suspect he didn’t want his ridiculous hair to get wet and photographed. I wish I was kidding.

Dollars to donuts, ashamed is an emotion Trump has never experienced.
