Smartasses everywhere I tell you.
We in America could care less what the Eurotwits and the American commiecrats say about this.
The President was RIGHT to stay safe and to not want to disrupt the traffic at the last minute.
I for one am very very glad his security people convinced him to not attend the ceremony. Thank you, Mr. President, for heeding that advice.
Unbiased answers.
Should he have gone or was it ok not to.
I don’t know much about protocol or how important this visit has historically been.
I have no context so I am asking those who do.
Thanks.
I gave up trying to hide how little I know a long time ago :)
The libs would have loved for an incident with the air transport. Too bad, so sad, you’re not glad.
Stuff it you accident-of-birth.
And if he had disrupted Paris with the motorcade, they would have bitched about that, too.
He can’t win.
President Trump would be far better off not explaining or defending any trivial protestations from little people.
Screw ‘em.
They won’t accept, or be placated by, any explanation.
Move on.

Miss an important ceremony to honor the war dead over traffic concerns? That doesn’t sound quite right. There’s got to be more to this story. Maybe there was some kind of threat to Trump’s safety?
Anybody who’s been to a presidential event knows the amount of sheer HAVOC a presidential motorcade can cause. Two-mile cordons on highways, local traffic diverted, etc.
The Ben Rhodes twitter thread is particularly nauseating with all the Kennedy worship I’m seeing on there.
I got to hear him speak in Paris yesterday, which was very good. For some reason, the leaders from France, Germany and Canada weren’t there, which was even better.
