Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters gave the best explanation for drumpf bailing on memorials

[Bradshaw3]

"He just didn't feel like it."

Peters absolutley nailed it. It wasn't the rain or anything else. The fat piece of shit coward just didn't feel like it. Doesn't give a shit about heroes who gave their lives or anyone in our current military, just like he doesn't care about anyone but himself.

And can you imagine the uproar if Obama had done this?

[jcgoldie]

1. I think it was his stupid fucking hair

He's that vain and shallow.

[watoos]

11. Yeah, and his orange make-up would run.

[Auggie]

20. YES!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

31. absolutely! be sure and read this short, hot-link:

[Cha]

32. That coupled with what

Lt Colonel Ralph Peters said.

[2naSalit]

33. Nope.

It clearly was not about him or for him and all those people but none were there to kiss up to him and they treated him as he should be treated. He stayed in and pouted the whole fucking time he was in France except when his handler showed up.

Fuck him! Get that POS out of our house and out of our country!!

[Siwsan]

51. The Bouffant MUST be protected!!! I suspect it is his source of power!!

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Yup

Also, don’t forget that the men who died there died fighting Nazis, they were fighting Trump’s kin and heroes.

[Farmer-Rick]

56. Were there Nazis in WWI?

I thought Trump's kin were let loose in WWII with Hitler.

[Johnny2X2X]

58. They were fighting the Kaiser

Nazis came after, but were born from some of the

[Mr.Bill]

60. Hitler was a WWI veteran

along with many of his henchmen.

[dchill]

3. If it's not all about him...

It's not worth the effort.

[Bradshaw3]

5. So true

Can't get motivated.

[dchill]

6. What's in it for MEEEEEEEEEE!

[smirkymonkey]

23. Yep!

If he's not the focus and center of attention he sees no point in being there. Miserable, selfish bastard.

[diva77]

17. Nothing at the event(s) had marketing potential for his niche

[leanforward]

4. That's the best explanation I've read.

He didn't feel like it. Likewise, I bet he starts to hole up in the WH to avoid formal affairs. I could see him turning the the WH into a bunker.

[Bradshaw3]

7. That is a definite possibility

And when an insane person holes up, things only go downhill.

[elleng]

27. Hoping for it (for HIM.)

[UTUSN]

8. Hey, he needed to get in his warm, dry footsies looking at Sean & room service of burgers!1

[jO456]

9. Obama would never have even thoyght about missing

Obama genuinely cares about everyone. He never would have bailed because of “rain”.

[kairos12]

10. Low energy traitor.

[LovingA2andMI]

14. THIS RIGHT HERE...

n/t...

[Heartstrings]

16. +1000

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. He thought it was optional n/t

[oasis]

13. But NFL players must honor our flag and military.

[Bradshaw3]

15. Yeah it's all just cannon fodder for captain bone spurs

Football players, veterans, POC, women, etc. Trash them all if he thinks it will work. Doesn't care about kneeling anymore than he does anything else.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

18. Let's be clear

We veterans (and active duty) are nothing more to him than back drop props and photo ops.

Now, he's trying to stifle the absentee ballots (votes) that were cast by active duty men and women cast in the Florida election. Yep, Spanky, because nothing says 'I support the troops' like not honoring the right to vote that they provide. FUCK YOU.

[Permanut]

22. This veteran..

feels the same way.

[Nay]

63. Mr Nay, a Vietnam vet, feels exactly the same. nt

[deurbano]

19. Is he the one who also mentioned the "bouffant" hair that possibly needed protecting?!

I didn't catch his name, but I liked that one-two punch, and thought it seemed the best explanation. "Didn't feel like it..."

[Bradshaw3]

21. Think so but not sure

And Peters is usually more restrained than this. But he was pissed and understandably so.

[deurbano]

26. I just looked at the Youtube video, and he said: "He didn't feel like it. He wasn't in the mood...

...didn't want to get his bouffant hairdo wet." Perfect.

[Marie Marie]

24. When things go badly for narcissists (he did have a very bad week),

they are known to go into Narcissistic Hibernation where they shut down, feel sorry for themselves and force others to explain away their absence. So I definitely believe the Lt colonel - He just didn't feel like it.

[area51]

25. "And can you imagine the uproar if Obama had done this?"

Exactly. Yet the Trump-humpers will excuse anything.

[spooky3]

28. The humidity makes his bone spurs painful. Nt

[Demovictory9]

29. both trump and his wife have that attitude. She only does the bare minimum.

[rzemanfl]

52. and sometimes wears less.

[Cha]

30. Now would the rest of the Military

Please realize this very Important Fact!

Thank You, Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters

Thank You, Bradshaw.. what's your source for this excellent deduction?

[Bradshaw3]

37. Just watching CNN

Like I wrote earlier this guy is not one who goes in for bombast or the meme saying of the day. He was just expressing his gut reaction, which to me was perfect.

[Cha]

48. Thank You!

[allgood33]

34. If the dead could hold a rally for him he would have been there in the rain.

[saidsimplesimon]

35. "I just don't care, do you?"

The melanoma is a co-conspirator in this charade. imo

[duforsure]

36. Did he do this

To not hurt his nazi's supporters feelings by showing support to the service members lost fighting them? He also is the laziest President we ever had, so it could be both.

[7962]

38. Col Peters was a HUGE critic of press Obama. Wonder how the Trumpettes dismiss him now?

They cant call him a liberal. Or a Democrat. And he wasn't a "never trumper" as far as I know. So how can they handle a guy like this? he quit Fox News because he said the slant had gotten too much. Coming from him that was a lot.

[Johnny2X2X]

39. Punishment for not getting his parade

I think it's obvious he's pouting about not getting his parade which was supposed to have been for Veteran's Day.

[UniteFightBack]

40. When I hear "rump doesn't understand"...I YELL...NO he just does NOT CARE...it really explains

everything.

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. "And can you imagine the uproar if Obama had done this?"

Yup, time to post this meme again,

[libdem4life]

42. I wish we could stop the..."if Obama did it." meme

There. Is. No. Comparison. False equivalency. Obama was a real man, with real empathy and a variety of human emotions. He could hug a baby and make the baby smile, etc.

Like comparing a hippo to a hummingbird. JMO

[Bradshaw3]

45. Not comparing the two in any way

Talking about the reaction if Obama had done it. Two very different things. And we don't need to be told how different they are. Everyone on DU knows that.

[libdem4life]

47. With all due respect, we also know the reaction if Obama.....etc.

Criticism not intended. It was just a post.

[Bradshaw3]

50. No it was not "just a post"

Reread it and yeah it was telling people they shouldn't post that "meme" any more. There can be different reactions to different situations so no we don't all know what the reaction would be. Sometimes people are just venting too, so as long as they are not attacking Dems or other violations, people can post what they want.

[lovemydogs]

43. I'm thinking he did not want to be with our allies or much care about the ceremony

[Achilleaze]

44. republicans put a freaking five-time draft dodger in charge of the military

and - surprise - he acts like a freaking republican.

[Firestorm49]

46. Oh, but he would love his stupid parade.

[OnDoutside]

49. Wonderful tweets here

Link to tweet

and this beauty

Link to tweet

[TxVietVet]

53. The fat piece of conservanazi crap dishonored our past

honorable warriors.

Drumpf's actions were not condemned by the rest of the conservanazis either.

What does that tell the world and our allies?

We got us a genuine piece of garbage for a president! Selfish and self centered.. Like a spoiled brat.

I hope Karma deals his family and his name what it deserves..... shame.

[zipplewrath]

54. That's my issue

I've never been the biggest Obama cheerleader. But I always thought most of the RWNJ criticism was just insane. I was always reminded of the Clinton Era when the RWNJ would make crap up. It's not like there wasn't legitimate things that they could have complained based upon their own point of view. But no, they had to make up crap because apparently they had little faith in the value of their own views.

The complaints of the RWNJ were always stupid. Sure he did alot of which they did not agree, but instead they made up crap about tan suits and "apology tours". And now we have a guy that can't even show up for the most basic of events. Mind you, he can arrange for any size tent he wants, but instead he can't even bother to ask.

[Beartracks]

55. Trump wants the power, doesn't care about the JOB.

No surprise: he doesn't like work.

=======

[Still In Wisconsin]

57. In fairness, were Shitstain to visit Arlington

the interred might rise up out of their graves and beat the living hell out of him.

[mahannah]

59. This would presume that he has feelings.

[keithbvadu2]

61. Anyone got a link to the actual tweet?

[Bradshaw3]

64. It wasn't a tweet but a comment on CNN

I've looked for the link to the video but couldn't find it.

[duforsure]

62. Trump went MIA ,

And probably is jealous of the service members. For the attention they're getting instead of himself. He is probably jealous they get any recognition for their service , and he doesn't. Yes he probably was too lazy to attend because he probably wanted to watch tv, or eat cheeseburgers. He's right, this coward could care less about anyone else but himself, and it shows. Trump's a loser , liar ,and a fraud.
