So I was RIGHT...he sulked all weekend because he didn't get his MILITARY PARADE.



President Donald Trump spent the weekend in France, skipping World War I commemoration events and apparently sulking in front of the television, instead of enjoying the grand military parade he’d once envisioned for himself.

The president was dazzled last year by the 2017 Bastille Day parade in Paris, and he notified defense officials he wanted a display like that for Veterans Day the following year, reported CNN.

But military officials balked at the nearly $100 million cost, and eventually persuaded the president he needed to mark the 100th anniversary of World War I’s end with other world leaders.

The solemn events he found in Paris were more stately than spectacular, and he sent a series of tweets grousing about vote recounts back in the U.S. and blaming massive California wildfires on forest management.

Trump remained at the U.S. ambassador’s residence Saturday after military and security officials determined cloud cover posed a safety hazard for the president’s Military One helicopter, but the White House did not have a backup plan in place to get Trump to the Aisne-Marne American cemetery.

the president's Military One helicopter." Who determined that? The Cuck in Chief?

Cloud cover? Could they come up with a lamer excuse? Military helicopters can't fly when there's clouds? W T everlovin' F.

The regular all weather helicopters wouldn't bat an eye at either of those and Trumpass has an extra beefed up one to use to protect him.

If the leaders of all of the other countries there could make it, so could Dolt45. The fact is... his whiney toddler ass didn't want to go.

He needs his diapers changed every hour and couldn't stand a 2 hour ride to the cemetery without filling his drawers.

It is official, he is full of shit.

chronic, explosive diarrhea. Not a good malady to have when you’re expected to spend hours at a time in public.
