He’s the match; we’re the ammo. Only we can stop ourselves - Trump thread 86

[TheClaws]

This is one of the most apt political cartoon I’ve seen.

Late show.

Trump has also cancelled his visit to the Paris Peace Forum.

What use is he? Honestly, US would be better with no president than him

Here is a photo from today. I think we ought to caption it. Mine would be Macron saying "look how much bigger my hands are compared to yours"

Cancelled a scheduled visit to the Paris Peace Forum?

Was it interfering with his daily hate or something?

Something else.

'A total of 60 heads of state will convene in Paris on Sunday for a programme of memorial events followed by lunch at the Elysee Palace and the opening session of the Paris Peace Forum.'

So he's going to the lunch and dipping out the Peace Forum. Well he would wouldn't he? I bet the other heads of state there will breathe a huge sigh of relief that he's not going to start banging on about NATO which he doesn't understand.

I'm appalled he didn't go to the American Cemetary. That shows exactly what he thinks of the war dead, no respect whatsoever. 100 year commemoration is so important and he's worried about a bit of rain. If it was the helicopter that was the problem, he could've gone by motorcade. It's only 60 miles

Brilliant article from April Ryan, the journalist tRump has insulted more than once.

Why should he go to the memorial, though? Dead soldiers don't vote.

Not even that, Annie. Dead soldiers don't give him lurrrrve. They don't cheer him and tell him he's the greatest and give him that buzz about himself.

A memorial is a double downer: it isn't about him; and people around him are being sad.

There is total fury and disgust on Twitter that he couldn't go to the American Cemetary in Paris.

To win World War I, brave Americans fought through snow, mud, & sand with bombs dropping from above, landmines in the ground below, & bullets flying at their faces. The least of their worries was rain. It’s an embarrassment @realDonaldTrump can’t find his way to honor our fallen.

Hoping everyone is ok in CA.
Here's the real president in the rain in 2010.

Ouch. Trudeau:

“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.”

This is from the WW2 ceremony several months back ... now recycled because the day demands it.

BREAKING: Florida Secretary of State orders full machine recount -- results due by Thursday. Current margin in Senate race is 12,562 (.15%). Not all results have been uploaded to Sec of State site. More Dem than GOP remains out, thus margin may shrink further still.

I've been doing more interesting things than catching up with Trump and MN , but just needed to comment on...

Snowflake is afraid he'll melt in the rain.
Or maybe he's afraid of another umbrella.
Or he just knows he'll look bad again like with QEII.

I'm absolutely humiliated by his antics in France. God, he's embarrassing!

I feel like taking out an ad in the Times, Le Figaro, Die Welt, and any other paper in Europe that I can find. Full page, letters 6" high.

HE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF US!!! HE IS NOT WHO WE ARE!!!!!
