Let down our country by skipping cemetery visit

Posted 2:53 p.m. today
By Devan Cole, CNN

(CNN) — Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Monday that President Donald Trump's decision to not attend a ceremony at an American burial ground in France because of rain "let down our country."

"He should've gone through it to go. It was not that big a challenge or problem. It was an embarrassment," Hagel, who served in the Obama administration, told CNN's Brianna Keilar on "CNN Right Now."

"And he let down, I think, our veterans, he let down our country. And I think he sent a very wrong message to the world," he said ...

in The White House rather than attend services or lay a wreath at Arlington. An even bigger insult right here in the US literally a limousine ride away from his office.

Something is up. Something is off. They are hiding something, but it will be figured out. Or someone will blab the real reason he couldn’t be bothered. He had to have been told that politically it was going to be a really bad thing especially with no plausible explanation. He has not been the same since last week. Did something snap after the election? They can’t keep him sequestered forever.

We can handle the truth. And after all the lies of the last two + years, don’t we finally deserve to know what’s going on??

I think you are right Grammy23. There is something terribly wrong. I don't think they will let us know until he snaps completely. This can't go on much longer before some explanation is required from the powers that be. How long do they think they can hide it?

He did it last year, he did all the Presidential stuff last year why bother?

His fans have no respect for any of this stuff anyhow.
