Trump Didn't Want Rain to Mess Up His Hair

I'm shocked he admitted this.

Trump Didn’t Want Rain to Mess Up His Hair
November 14, 2018 at 9:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard


Vanity Fair: “Trump remained in a dark mood during his weekend trip to France to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I… On Saturday morning, Trump skipped attending a rain-soaked ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery to honor the Battle of Belleau Wood. When his absence became a scandal, the White House said the decision had been made because Marine One reportedly could not fly in the rain, and Secret Service did not want Trump traveling by motorcade. One Republican briefed on the internal discussions said the real reason Trump did not want to go was because there would be no tent to stand under.”

Said the source: “He was worried his hair was going to get messed up in the rain. John Bolton and everyone was telling him this was a big mistake.”

There's this marvelous new invention called an "umbrella". You should try to learn to operate one some time.

We were visiting the area and had lunch here at the time scheduled for trump's ceremony.

Notice - No blinding rain. No wind. This restaurant was packed. We were either walking around or driving during the ceremony time.

And our Marine One crew could not fly in this weather?????

along with another thread I read here yesterday where lameass is blaming people for not advising him how bad it would look if he didn't go.
just a microcosm of how they "govern/react" , throw 8 different stories out there and 1 should stick.

I know I am preaching to the choir, it just gets frustrating seeing the obvious tactics and irregularities in messaging that no reporter wants to address. Where is this generation's Walter Cronkite, David Frost, or anyone for that matter that will look into those lying eyes of lameass and say,,"uhhh you are not wearing any clothes, emperor"

America needs a hero so badly right now, and it seems to this old guy, that the people who have a chance to be one,simply worship and worry about their dollars.

Everyone who has an inkling of a thought process based in reality should be issued gov't funded neck braces to ease the pain of shaking our heads for 2 years, along with the numerous "palm to face" moments. It's only fair.
