Cadet Bone Spurs goes AWOL at the World War I memorial celebration in France, driven from the battlefield by a few rain drops:
It's incredible that a president would travel to France for this significant anniversary - and then remain in his hotel room watching TV rather than pay in person his respects to the Americans who gave their lives in France for the victory gained 100 years ago tomorrow— David Frum (@davidfrum) November 10, 2018
Trump will use the US military for a pre election political stunt but sits in his hotel instead of honoring those who fought and died for America.— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) November 10, 2018
Guess which President didn’t let a little weather stop him from honoring the troops https://t.co/k7uXnZaSB7 pic.twitter.com/cf6hNggpyJ— Cody Keenan (@codykeenan) November 10, 2018
A view of the weather in Paris which is supposed to have deterred @realDonaldTrump from paying his respects to the brave American soldiers who gave their lives for freedom at the AisneMarne war cemetery this afternoon.

From Winston Churchill's grandson (and Conservative Member of Parliament) Sir Nicholas Soames:
They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn’t even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen #hesnotfittorepresenthisgreatcountry— Nicholas Soames (@NSoames) November 10, 2018
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau throws some shade:
.@justintrudeau drops umbrella (& the mic): “As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet, and our hair gets wet...it’s all the more fitting that we remember on that day in Dieppe the rain wasn’t rain, it was bullets.” pic.twitter.com/lRUTRtt5FB— Lis Smith (@Lis_Smith) November 10, 2018
Still drying out from the blue wave election? Is it about Macron's "insult?" Not all about you? Bone spurs acting up?
