Wow, that`s remarkable and unexpected:
Even Fox News supports the legal battle by CNN, in order to get back Acostas WH press credentials

The US uses more security precautions. It's not Trump. It's our policy.

Hm ... so lets assume that it was actually security precautions that kept him from visiting the cemetery in france ...
what, then, kept him from visiting Arlington cemetery at home?

Are the Russians paying Kid every time he uses the word smear?

[Kidlicious]

That is BS ... the other leaders also had no problems getting to their places ... and neither was the rain too heavy for the helicopter to fly, nor would it have been so much of a problem (neither for Donnie, nor for the french people) to cover the 1 hour distance via motorcadre.
(Western european countries usually have a tight net of highways (especially around their large metropolitan regions, like Paris) ... there is always another highway you can take if one highway is blocked by something orange from the USA )

Same, surely, goes for Donnies refusal to go to Arlington ... just pure lazyness ... he surely preferred to stay (half) naked at home and tweet and watch Faux News, instead of caring about some soldiers of a war long before his time )

Regarding Marine 1, see also here, from someone who worked at Sikorsky, the company that produced the Heli:

The Mayor of Pittsburgh asked Trump not to come after the right wing terrorist shooting at the synagogue, yet Trump showed up anyway and whined that the victims and 1st responders weren't grateful enough.

Why does he care more for France's opinion than Pittsburgh's?

He said people like you, that use tragedy to smear don't care.

[JohnT]

That was fake news. The decision was made because of security reasons and because going would be a big inconvenience on the French people.

I swear to God, if this country has spent nearly $25 trillion on a military (over the course of my life) which can't even fly a ****ing helicopter in the rain, I want my money back and military spending slashed to 1/10th of current amounts.

It's for the best, imagine how much damage he could do to the country (and the world) if he was trying.

Eating and watching TV is for the winners, working is for the losers.

[Dinner]

No, I think he really is the most lazy. He literally has whole days, the majority of days, where he does nothing but eat and watch tv. He truly does not care about anyone but himself.

What a total embarrassment for Donnie

Not only didn't Donnie show up at Aisne-Marine cemetery in france, whereas all european leaders (and the canadian) showed up in order to honor the dead of WW1.

Nope, also in Arlington cemetery, when Donnie again was too lazy tro show up in order to honor the dead at Veterans Day, it was a delegation of the french government who did, what Donnie refused to do (i.e. honoring the dead and laying down a wreath at Arlington cemetery)

Has there ever been an US president who embarrassed his country more than Donnie?
(even Bush jr. seems to have been more presidial and less embarrassing than Trump)

Expect new angry tweets by Donnie against CNN soon

CNN has made the decision to fila a lawsuit against Donnie and the WH for barring Acosta.
They see the 1st amendment violated by this step

Oh right, because they are fully capable of managing their forests.

Well, I am sure they are better at managing their forests on their own (as long as they have the funding), tha they could if they would follow any "helpful tips from Trump" or even would get someone of Trumps guys (like Pruitt) as manager.

And Trump talking about forest management (or actually any scientific topic) is similar to some member of an indian tribe that never had contact with the western world trying to talk about microelectronics.
Honestly ... Trump should leave talking about scientific topics to those people who have the necessary intelligence and education. His own attempts at talking science have, so far, been a total embarrasment
