Churchill's grandson slams Trump for skipping cemetery visit because of weather

Nicholas Soames, a British politician and grandson of Winston Churchill, ripped President Trump on Saturday for canceling a cemetery visit in France due to bad weather.

"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen," Soames tweeted.

Soames, who is a member of Parliament for Mid Sussex, included a hashtag saying Trump is "not fit to represent his great country."

Former top Obama aide Ben Rhodes also called out Trump for not visiting the cemetery, saying that under the previous White House there was "always a rain option. Always." (Maybe an umbrella?)

No honor whatsoever. But the republicans follow degenerate Dirty Donny like sheep. Sheesh. Once again we see what republican "values" really are. Sad.

dry Paris hotel room tweeting the day away instead of being presidential and a caring CIC. Sounds about right. He couldn't risk another "bad hair day."

The one bright spot is that Nicholas Soames distinguished between that pampered, cowardly parasite and the country he is supposed to represent.
