He got support from an unlikely source on Friday when John R. Bolton, his former national security adviser who has broken with him and called him unfit for office, said he was on the trip in question and never heard Mr. Trump make those remarks. “I didn’t hear that,” Mr. Bolton said in an interview. “I’m not saying he didn’t say them later in the day or another time but I was there for that discussion.”
Y’know one time my father told me when I was a teenager, in an epic display of bad judgment, that he always knew when I was lying because I’d get furiously angry at an accusation instead of just being like, “It’s not true.”
The book “Very Stable Genius” has this incident and it is shown that the weather was used to give the President an excuse to not do something that he really didn’t want t do.

I don’t know why some you are on here frontin. You all know he said that ■■■■ because you all know it’s not outside the realm of possibility that something like that can come from such a vile and terrible person.

“I don’t think I’m going to go,” Trump said, Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig wrote in their book, “A Very Stable Genius.”
“Kelly, a retired four-star Marine Corps general and a Gold Star father; and his deputy, Zach Fuentes, told Trump that he could defer to the inclement weather conditions and invoke a “weather call” to cancel the trip, according to “A Very Stable Genius.” Traveling by motorcade had its own problems, including a one-and-a-half hour commute and creating additional traffic.”
