Has it ever occured to him that planning the Japan trip would mean missing Memorial

[question everything]

Day services? Has it bothered him?

Did Pence serve in the military?

1. He was looking for an excuse. Russia and DPRK would have been bad optics. So it had to be Japan.

2. Dump has no ability to muster any gravitas.

So he fails at memorials. As in every damn presidential thing.

3. I was wondering the same thing

Couldn’t they have scheduled the trip for next week?
Just seems inappropriate to not have the president attending memorial services here.

[Ohiogal]

7. I agree

And especially the reason for this trip is ....what? So he can play golf, watch wrestling, and be fawned over. To him those things are more important than honoring our veterans on the one national holiday we set aside to do just that.

He is a pitiful excuse for a human being. How do any military people support this asshole.

[dhol82]

20. Yeah, it's the military that I don't get

Just don’t understand how they can support this piece of trash.

13. Sadly, a sign of the times...

everything about the orange menace and his alleged pResidency is inappropriate.

4. At least we're being spared the photo-op of him awkwardly laying a wreath

on the tomb and trying to get it over with as quickly as possible so he can get to the golf course.

[TreasonousBastard]

5. "Occurred to him"? That may have been the idea.

[2naSalit]

14. I think it was the idea, no maybe about it

He hates us and will do whatever he thinks will insult and demean us.

6. I had assumed he would have had Pence show up for some memorial, but I haven't seen that yet.

[UniteFightBack]

8. It's already done. Pence laid the wreath. nt

9. He only wants our military to honor him

...and cares little about our veterans. He loves the pomp and ceremony, being saluted and having people stand for him, but could not care less for their sacrifices or struggles. Besides, he has the international spotlight on him now with reporters from all over flashing cameras on his hulk.

It is just as well he is busy feathering his own nest somehow while in Japan. Whatever he is up to means much more to him personally than his duties as POTUS which are woefully neglected.

He is a disgrace.

[UniteFightBack]

10. I feel this was done on purpose since he can't even fake being human at these types of events.

It's tough being a Narcissistic Sociopath.

[catrose]

11. I wondered. But he's noped out on other occasions to honor the military.

No one in his family has served for 5 generations. It shows.

12. Posted this yesterday.

He's horrible

111,606 US military killed or missing, 253,142 wounded and 21,580 Prisoners of War in the Pacific Theater of WWII.

We set aside a day every year to honor these people. God bless them! Today, on this very day, our President travels to Japan to embrace the Emperor of Japan, play golf with its Prime Minister and give a trophy to a Summo wrestler. Do you have no shame, Sir?

[leanforward]

15. Yes he planned it to miss our Memorial Day Celebration.

No it has not bothered him.

Pence? I don't know. Pence does have a son in the military.

To me, he is not one of us.

[question everything]

19. Pence's son, at least, is better than Jr. and Eric who use arms to shoot defenseless animals

[durablend]

16. You mean like

Republicans spending July 4th in Russia?

[empedocles]

17. Hope veterans events slipped trump/Japan into there days.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

18. Is it raining in Japan??????

Nothing like trashing your own country while you are out of it.
