President Trump is spending Monday at the White House and had no plans to visit Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia as America observes the Veterans Day holiday.

The White House announced a so-called travel lid at 10 a.m. ET, meaning that the president is not expected to hold any public events or leave the executive mansion.

Trump returned to Washington on Sunday evening after a weekend in France, where he attended events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. The president paid tribute earlier in the day to U.S. and allied soldiers killed in the so-called "war to end all wars."

Strange how POTUS didn’t make a trip to Arlington.

Think Pence is in Japan.

Oh yeah, but he kinda went to an allied cemetery in europe where the dead from both world wars are buried. Kinda the same thing. Just somewhere else. That kinda deflates your slanted headline, eh, MSM? P.S. - when did the commie press dtart giving a tinkers damn about the military?

Today is the day to celebrate veterans. Memorial Day is when the Prez should visit Arlington.

President Trump was in Vietnam last year for Veterans Day.

Good point.

I do remember his Asian trip last fall.

Look forward to him speaking at Arlington next Memorial Day!

It was called Armistice Day. Should have slipped France. All is did was get insulted by Macron and got shot for not driving in motorcade. Arlington was 10 min away. Easy peasy.

Gotta keep our POTUS safe. I imagine with the removal of Sessions they’re working overtime to try to get to him now.

Today is not Veterans Day. Yesterday was Veterans Day.

I hope he is busy working with the interim AG to unleash hell in Florida.

Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day. See the history at my link.

Funny how the press wasn’t bothered a bit when Obama shut down the WW2 memorials in one of his calculated temper tantrums....

I don’t think there’s an obligation to do a special observance of the “government workers’ day off somewhat associated with a real holiday.” All over the country, people observed Veterans’ Day on Sunday.
