WH excuse for Trump ducking war dead: He cares too much

Sarah Huckabee Sanders told press that President Trump stayed in not because of the rain but because he was thinking of the disruptions caused by a presidential motorcade and security detail.

Yeah, Sarah, because if there's anything that's synonymous with Donald Trump it's "empathy and compassion." How conscientious of him.

stupid enough to let him serve his term

stupid enough to stand in line for his rallies

if stupid is the measure, the American people are putting up solid numbers, but Brazil is looking to pass us on the inside

No worries: Hannity will be spouting this nonsense into the echo chamber, and Trump's followers will take it as gospel.

And how rude of Presidents Obama, GW Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Johnson, and JF Kennedy to disrupt WDC traffic by driving to Arlington Cemetery on Veterans Day to honor those who gave their lives for our country.

Especially when the cemetery is 3.9 miles from the WH and currently takes 11 minutes to drive there, with traffic and all.

Even this excuse wouldn't have flown with today's SNAFU. Arlington is far closer to the WH than the French cemetery was to where he was staying and motorcades are such a regular occurrence in the Beltway it wouldn't have fazed anyone.

Good to know. The same excuse, as you say, wouldn't have flown, but even worse is no excuse at all.

I'd wager that he's outraged and doesn't give a dang. Because indictments are coming, probably this week.

Gingrich just loved America too gosh-darned much, and the next thing he knew he was cheating on his second wife. With whom he'd been cheating on his first wife.

Unless the gravestones have been covered over with temporary models of Trump Tower, he's not going to give a flying fuck about the fallen soldiers.
