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.
No matter what Pre. Trump did or did not do, he would have been criticized. If he flew in the rain, the press would have screamed that he endangered the flight crew as a bear "stunt". If he traveled by motorcade, he would have been criticized for snarling up traffic for a "photo op".
Meanwhile, Macaroon or whatever the f' the Frenchie P.M. is called politicized the event with some critique of Trump that included incoherent remarks of about patriotism good and nationalism bad. And the press goes wild.
Wow.
That was a good answer.
I HATE that i don’t think of these things.
Screw ‘em.
They won’t accept, or be placated by, any explanation.
Move on.
> Mr Trump was reluctant to bring extra disruption to Paris traffic for a last-minute motorcade, his officials said. <
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.
Thousands upon thousands of American war dead to save their sorry wine soaked cheese fattened asses in three wars (Remember Vietnam was also French Indo-China) and they have DeGaulle /snicker to insult our president and thereby all of us by remarks like that. I say screw them and let them chill in their own vichyssoise.
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.
We deceived them into fighting to contain communism in Indochina (they had no money or political will to fight the war), then abandoned them at Dien Bien Phu. That is why they left NATO and developed their own nukes (creating Godzilla in the process); they haven’t been invaded since!
Wow.
That was a good answer.
I HATE that i don’t think of these things.

It’s easy to write like a lib reporter. Just follow these easy rules...
Rule 1. Everything Trump does is wrong.
Rule 2. There are no other rules.
