Kerry slams Trump for canceling attendance at WWI memorial
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/11/18

US President Donald Trump was forced to cancel his attendance on Saturday at a commemoration in France for US soldiers and marines killed in World War I because rain made it impossible to arrange transport.

“[The attendance of the president and first lady] has been canceled due to scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather,” the White House said according to Reuters, adding that Chief of Staff John Kelly, who is a former general, went instead.

While the president was scheduled to attend the ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, rain and low clouds prevented his helicopter from traveling to the site. White House officials cited by Reuters also noted security concerns that would arise in hastily arranging a motorcade.

Nevertheless, the cancellation was met with criticism by some on social media, including former Secretary of State John Kerry.

“President Trump a no-show because of raindrops? Those veterans the president didn’t bother to honor fought in the rain, in the mud, in the snow - & many died in trenches for the cause of freedom. Rain didn’t stop them & it shouldn’t have stopped an American president,” ...

I can think of several uses Kerry could have in the Trump administration. He could be used as a food taster to sample all suspicious foods intended for President Trump. He could be dressed in a suit and mask that make him appear to be President Trump and paraded through areas after threats have been reported to help identify people trying to take a shot at the president. He could also be used as a crash test dummy to verify the safety of vehicles or aircraft that are being designed to keep the President safer.

Didn’t I see that Trump gave his Quarterly paycheck to a veteran’s fund???

I want to see Kerry charged under the Logan Act & prosecuted.

The same people that had no problem with one of Buttcrack Hussein’s state trips costing $300 million think this has “travesty” written all over it. And the SecState that is tied with Hillary for being the lamest SecState ever is taking the lead, isn’t that special?

Note to MSM: in order to “slam” somebody, you have to be right. Your argument has to at least be in the same ballpark as reality. As usual, your lame asses have it dead wrong.

Yep, like Clinton’s haircut keeping AF1 on the ground and disrupting air traffic. I can’t stand the guy but I’m sure that was a maintenance problem or something like that. He can get a $200 haircut a hundred places in the Little Rock area.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. The MSM didn’t say this. Lurch did. And he has had no relationship with reality since he “got” his first purple heart, lo, so many years ago, and spent Christmas in Cambodia in 1968, when Nixon was allegedly POTUS. So of course his bloviating about Donald Trump is way out in lala land. But Lurch was wishing that the current POTUS would not let a few drops of rain stop him from taking a helicopter and landing in low visibility, so he might “slam” into the ground, and thereby make all of leftardia very happy with news of his demise, making the ultimate sacrifice like the dead of WW I, and like them, die in a totally avoidable calamity, caused by the untimely demise of a world leader. The MSM merely went with their instinct and found the right choice of words, “slam,” as in fall precipitously and painfully on the ground.

Me neither. I don’t think he even vicariously owns part of it any more for servicing his moneybags wife. But just the thought of using a Heinz product makes me lose my appetite. Support the girlcott. Buy Osem ketchup, a product of Israel.
