Trump Expected to Attend D-Day Anniversary June 6

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings on June 6, Le Parisien reported on its website, citing unnamed local officials who have been asked to plan for his presence.

Trump’s attendance isn’t confirmed, and neither the French president’s office nor the foreign ministry would comment, Le Parisien said.

It would be Trump’s third visit to France as president, after he attended the Bastille Day parade on July 14, 2017, and then returned in November 2018 for the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI.

(Will Trump actually attend the events, or stay in his hotel watching Fox news?)

lying, cheating, treasonous, draft-dodger that he is. He is an affront to every man and woman who has bravely fought for our nation.
