Trump tweets "Happy Birthday" Marine Corps, the response was withering criticism of his laziness

Today Donald Trump blew off honoring the Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines who gave their lives during World War One, at Belleau Wood because some intermittent rain might have mussed up his hair.

All of the other heads of state did attend the ceremony including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has this to say at a previous ceremony last year:

"As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet, and our hair gets wet...it's all the more fitting that we remember on that day in Dieppe the rain wasn't rain, it was bullets,"

This guy might have a penis the size of a button mushroom, but he has balls the size of coconuts.
What a unthinking disgraceful pig he is.

"I am glad Trump stayed in his comfortable accommodations and didn’t stain with his foul presence the fields of honor where American war dead are at rest. The right people were there; the American Embarrassment wasn’t."

This says it all for me.

Old Sargent McBonespurs would have definitely fouled the occasion. But then, he fouls every occasion. I think we've run out of invectives for this POS.

Donald Trump falsely accused NFL players who took a knee as being disrespectful to the military. Yet, he is a President who can’t be bothered to visit a US war cemetery because of bad weather. These brave fallen soldiers fought through flooded trenches to give him his freedom.
