He can golf, but he can't attend a ceremony to honor the fallen in the rain? He makes me sick.

could not go with the helicopter because of rain. Helicopters can take multiple routes. The highway and road to a somber memorial may number 1 or 2 routes at most. Maybe France is considered and extra threat?

George H. W. Bush stayed in Vancouver for Expo '86 they kicked out all the people in the floors above and below him. And of course he got the whole middle floor. And he was only VP. Think how the world has changed in the last 32 years. And think that the SS is not going to comment on security details. And neither should the president. Maybe Trump is more at risk than Macron or Merkel. Just a thought. I don't know it for a fact.

is that the US presidential motorcade is vast - about 60 vehicles - much larger than other leaders'.

Put it this way: (1) If they needed to get Trump out of there, Marine One would fly. (2) What the hell sort of two-bit military and SS are you guys running where a bit of drizzle and cloud grounds the presidential helicopter?

I'm not clear how bad low cloud and rain were where he was due to fly from, but at the ceremony location itself, it seemed to amount to intermittent drizzle.

It's like, DAMN, in the rough again.

I just hope the world leaders realize the majority (and growing) of Americans despise the ass hole every bit as much as they do.
