White House decision to cancel veteran's cemetery on France visit creates a storm of its own
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/white-house-decision-cancel-veteran-s-cemetery-france-visit-creates-n934796
The White Houses bad-weather call for Trump is not sitting well with some observers.
Francois Heisbourg, a political analyst and former campaign adviser to Macron, posted a photograph on Twitter of someone bicycling in Paris and wrote the weather that kept Trump from the cemetery is: Nothing a cyclist can't handle, let alone a presidential helo.
A member of the British Parliament and grandson of legendary British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Nicholas Soames, was even more critical, calling Trump pathetic and inadequate on Twitter because he couldnt even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen who died with their face to the foe.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also participated in armistice events outside the city today, at a battle site about two hours north of Paris by car.

"Merde! You pathetic, worthless old fuck!" under his breath. Yes, indeed. Just look at his eyes.

Make that two flags because lardass can't cloak himself into one anymore.
