We all knew it then. And we know it now. Trump is a coward. And a loser.

with his presence. I could see that, but that is a reach, when it is always the most likely option that Trump is lying.

It not even in the Ile de France Administrative Region, that I can remember. Too lazy to look it up.

I think it is in Champaign or maybe Picardy. We always travel the backroads in Europe avoiding the Highways. Just happened on the cemetery. Did a u turn and spent over an hour there. As moving as the Omaha Beach cemetery in my opinion.

The Paris police have no more power over those areas than Florida over Montana.

The Gendarmerie are nationwide, but Trump could not even pronounce the word.

The French army has joined the outpouring of criticism over Donald Trump’s decision to cancel a visit to a First World War cemetery because of “poor weather”, after posting a tweet mocking the president.

A post on the army’s official Twitter account shows a soldier crawling on the ground in the rain, accompanied by the caption: “#MondayMotivation. There’s rain but it’s not serious. We’re staying motivated.”

In response to the tweet, many users added to the ridicule of Mr Trump.
