"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?..."
Your interpretation of this article is creative to say the least. Kerry is criticizing Trump for not ordering his pilot to violate weather minimums. Remember when the pilot of a Polish Tu-154 violated weather minimums and smashed 96 people, including the Polish president, his wife, and a whole bunch of Polish govt. officials, into a hillside? This is what happens when a pilot says, "Just a few snowflakes, nothing to worry about there."
I usually don’t tell anyone, although it’s hardly a secret, but all posts by me that begin with “Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair” are intrinsically satirical. I could just add a sarc tab at the end and simplify matters. But that would be like the players in Midsummer Night’s Dream warning the audience that they are not really a wall, or a lion. It would ruin the effect of the post, which is designed to illustrate absurdity.
