Trump in France finally visits WW I cemetery

Drenched in criticism for letting rain cancel his visit to an American World War I cemetery, President Trump on Sunday braved Parisian showers to attend another solemn ceremony honoring veterans of what was called the Great War.

His visit to the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in suburban Paris capped a diplomatically difficult visit to France, during which Trump endured not-so-subtle criticism from French President Emmanuel Macron and other world leaders.

At one point, he looked at a group of aged veterans of World War II who watched the event from a covered space.
“You look so comfortable up there, under shelter, as we’re getting drenched,” he said.

He so totally hates being there. He wants to be back at his hotel watching Fox and tweeting.

What he did do was to highlight just how big of a douche he is -- again!

The fallout from Trump bailing out of a cemetery visit yesterday was so bad his staff probably insisted he go to a cemetery and by the look on his face he hated having to do it.

and a sociopath who can't feel any emotions so has to "fake" how he thinks he should look for the appropriate occasion. That is what Ted Bundy the serial murderer did to try to "fit in" among other people who were sincerely shocked by horrific scenes.

Complaining about the WWII veterans:

“You look so comfortable up there, under shelter, as we’re getting drenched,” he said.

This manbaby has absolutely no self-awareness.

where his heart might be if he had one. The only thing he felt was the indigestion and went with it.

Hey, guys, at least he's trying.
Hahaha, no, not really.
