Trump tweets "Happy Birthday" Marine Corps, the response was withering criticism of his laziness [View all]
Today Donald Trump blew off honoring the Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines who gave their lives during World War One, at Belleau Wood because some intermittent rain might have mussed up his hair.
All of the other heads of state did attend the ceremony including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has this to say at a previous ceremony last year:
"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,"
