46 Pics That Will Make Trump Regret Canceling WWI Cemetery Visit Because Of Rain
We've all had to brave the elements to get to work - but not the President of the United States. President Donald Trump is under fire after he canceled his visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery to honor the fallen U.S. soldiers from the battle of Belleau Wood buried in the French cemetery. The ceremony was conducted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
The White House commented on the U.S president's absence citing, “scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather,” and instead sent a delegation led by Chief of Staff John Kelly to the cemetery in his place. The cloudy weather and rain prevented president's helicopter for traveling to the site located 50 miles from Paris. Among the world leaders that did show were Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and French President Emmanuel Macron.
It didn't take long for backlash against Tump's absence to roll in. Winston Churchill’s grandson Nicholas Soames, a member of the British Parliament, called Trump “pathetic” and “inadequate” for his failure to show up. While the internet decided to take it a step further by blasting out photos of Obama at various events standing in the rain, with comments about a president who knew how to use an umbrella, alongside photos of Trump struggling with one. Scroll down below to see some of the pictures and captions people posted and don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

No one seems to have produced a Dune meme yet - sandworms are notoriously averse to water... ;-)

It's worth pointing out that Trudeau said this last year, and not in response to Trump's avoidance of the raindrops. It doesn't diminish Trudeau's sentiment, but it's important not to promote incorrect impressions.

When I first saw this on Twitter that was my first thought too. Chracter, strength, composition - it's great. There's nothing depicting Trump that could compare, and especially one that is not contrived.

What do you think ?
Since the big orange turd dodged military service with a phoney medical statement this was to be expected. This POTUS is a POS.
Kolvanov can you explain me what is bad about transgenderism and feminism please? Or is it just a problem for you that women and transgenders get rights equal as yours?
What about equal pay, Kolvonov, since I can't answer directly to you?
He's a hater.
@clay - refer to my response Jon candy kid. Nice projection. Moreover, one doesn't need to match the citizenship of the politician, to comment. Why do you care so much and threatened by Trump? For every downvote, I give out five(5) arbitrarily. #socialismtoo! #metoo

@Juririn - Nice false attribution and presumption. "...Meanwhile, you feel the need to pollute BP..." - whilst you pollute with your unsubstantiated rubbish and conjecture. No comment has been anti-intellectual, as inductive reasoning means to be open to rational arguments, as when a subject is outside ones field of expertise, one is on tentative ground, thus open to new objective info. "...probably feel impotent and inadequate in your real life..." - As an investor helping real artists by hiring them, that makes me more than adequate in contribution. What do you do, apart from being triggered by outside perspectives? Right. Sanctimonious, moral high ground peacocking, especially concerning your ID and ideology being so tied to politics.

@okpkpkp - earnings gap, not pay gap. Due to the choices women make, especially when around 30, to have kids. Men are in higher income STEM careers to a larger amount, work longer hours etc.

3rd wave feminism in general. Women already have equal opp and rights. T-genderism being taught and encouraged in children too young and naive to know better.

@jon Candy - Nice projection, assuming I'm obsessed with a entrepreneur-reality star. The disgusting ILK trash is you. Especially since I served to protect. Now Candy man, my statement was that the far-left and a segment of others trailing them, don't care about the military but are only using this situation to attack a man. Do you understand me kid.
How many times did the "man" change the story/the excuses about not participating in an event with significant symbolism and meaning? Let's see... bad weather, not wanting to disturb traffic, " the secret service did not let me" .... in less then one week. There will be more to come, I expect. Meanwhile, you feel the need to pollute BP with your misogynistic, anti-intellectual, pseudo-literate BS, because you probably feel impotent and inadequate in your real life. Get help, real help, because what you do is not working.

I strongly dislike Trump, but if someone said they couldn't fly in those conditions, I imagine arranging a last minute motorcade and all the accompanying vehicles, security, traffic control, etc would not have been possible in time. Can anyone tell me how John Kelly managed to get there? Had he gone earlier, before a change in weather, or did he come from a different destination?

Ironic, that a certain group of Left wingers here suddenly care about respecting the military, but only because they get to bash Trump.
Says the person who is utterly obsessed with a man who said "I like people who don't get caught" regarding a POW. And a man who attacked a gold star family. Don't act like your disgusting ilk gives one shit about the military.

Are you a US citizen? Why do you even care so much what Trump does? Apparently you have an obsession with him.

Due to left-wing (creeping into the far left lately) hegemony in media, academia, Hollywood etc --affording a larger loudspeaker and voice-- there are more abhorrent actions emerging from the Left (who co opted the term 'liberal', replacing it with shortsighted virtue signalling). ---Hoax Hate crimes to make themselves appear the victim and hero. Anti-white racism, transgenderism, feminism, breakdown of the family unit, affirmative action, anti meritocracy, using identity politics with a totalitarian strain. Hypocrisy, amoral, using the conservative's standards against them(who want to conserve the good elements of society), antifa, anti freemarket, having ISLAM as an allie (enemy of my enemy).The moderate left, generally has been too scared to regulate their far left peers behavior. The Right wing, more individualistic, prone to infighting and call out radical right's actions more often. Leftwing moderates, too tolerant and apathetic.
What does any of that have to do with our president not going to a WWI memorial because of rain?

In illiberal logic, you can be a POS president like Obama, but due to suffering the harsh drops of some raindrops for a few minutes of virtue signalling, it negates and forgives the bad presidency effects.

Wil was triggered. MAGA !
Let's have a little compassion here. Remember what happened to the Wicked Witch when she got wet?
She melted! And I think we all know what would happen if he stepped into the rain
Wouldn't be that lucky.
His hair would look weirder, and his orange tan would come off? ;)
Exactly what I was thinking!

She recieved Oz's magic wand?
What a piece of shit. Honoring our fallen is something the country can unite on but this douche can't be bothered
"John Smith", I bet you went mad when Obama missed anything you thought he shouldn't. So why would you expect Trump to be treated any differently?
