Trump didn't cancel visit to American military cemetery in France over disdain for slain veterans, sources say
Fox News ^ | September 04 2020 | John Roberts, Tyler Olson

President Trump canceled a planned 2018 trip to a cemetery for American war dead in France because of the weather and not because of disdain for the slain soldiers who are buried there or concern about how the weather would affect his hair, sources told Fox News, despite a report from The Atlantic making that claim.

Two sources who were on the trip in question with Trump refuted the main thesis of The Atlantic's reporting -- that Trump canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, which is at the site of Belleau Wood, an important World War I battle, because he believed the dead soldiers to be "losers" and "suckers."

The White House had said at the time the decision was made because of poor weather for flying Marine One and the fact that the cemetery was too far a distance for a motorcade to drive.

My brother is one of them, Ditz. Or should I say, “Mrs. Clinton”?

Nobody is buying this bullshit from two years ago, and POTUS Trump has honored our military and those who have been injured and killed many times..

Now gtfo out here, troll.

It happened 2 years ago - does that make it all right to fly all the way to France to attend a memorial and then decide not to go 60 miles because of rain?

Kind of seems like the opposite of honoring the War Dead, doesn’t it?

Do you think that was the right thing to do?

Check the posting history. You can go pages without running across a conservative opinion. Maybe it thinks this is DU?

I am sure these are things Obama said, not Trump.
