We’re just late in the game for anonymous sources. But defenses are…mirrors of Trump.

We’re just late in the game for anonymous sources. But defenses are…mirrors of Trump.
We know that the President didn’t want to go.
We know that the President disparages anything that doesn’t personally affect him.
We know that the President’s supporters will dismiss any negative story about him and twist themselves into knots to do so.
How many stories like this does it take until it sinks in that the President is just a terrible person?
They don’t care. They have refused to hold him accountable. He doesn’t take any responsibility for anything and they don’t hold him accountable, it’s a match made in hell.
NebraskaFootball: pensieve_seeker:If he had, then Bolton would have stated so in his book.
You believe Bolton is an honest man and a truth-teller?
You believe Bolton was hiding anti-Trump garbage from his book…stuff that could have made it sell even better?
Why? Because of his love of Trump?
Answer my question first and then we can discuss. Do you believe Bolton to be an honest man and a truth-teller?
Jezcoe:Well this story is poor timing.
Their excuse? Budget concerns. S&S is 0.0002% of the Pentagon Budget.
I think it is because it doesn’t show the correct amount of deference to the President.
Anyone check out on how Voice of America is holding up?
Michael Pack, who leads VOA's parent company, ordered a political appointee to formally review a story on Joe Biden. The move appears to violate bans on political meddling in coverage.

If the answer is yes… then there is a whole lot of problems.
Miraculously every other attending Head of State and their respective administrations were able to figure it out and accommodate. What made Trump’s administration so incompetent by comparison?
John Kelly went !
You tried. I’ll give you that.
LOL
They need to try harder.

Multi pronged attack on long serving institution… Follows the normal pattern with this so called “admin”

We all know exactly why. Well, those who are not part of the 33% die-hard loyal Trump-lovers group of course.

Shocking. A man who understands what it means to be willing to sacrifice for a greater good. Unlike the losers and suckers buried in that cemetery Trump refused to go visit.
Ben_Natuf:you think prepositioning assets, doing security sweeps, informing the locals and anything else required for Presidential security on a motorcade is easily accomplished in a morning?

That’s what I don’t understand, the alternative is not any better. Either he didn’t want to be bothered honoring losers or his staff was too incompetent to get him there. Both are bad
As I recall, at the time they said it was just not possible for Trump to get there, but now we know he could have hitched a ride with Kelly
could it be they were closer and planned to drive to begin with?
i don’t know, do you?

No, that was not the reason. The literal job for his staff is planning contingency plans for occasions such as this. It’s the reason his transportation is shipped in advance. Either the story in the OP is correct or his staff is incompetent

“Marine One’s crew was saying that bad visibility could make it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery,” Bolton wrote. “The ceiling was not too low for Marines to fly in combat, but flying POTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade were necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred and twenty minutes each way, along roads that were not exactly freeways, posing an unacceptable risk that we could not get the President out of France quickly enough in case of an emergency. It was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit…”
Bolton later added: "The press turned canceling the cemetery visit into a story that Trump was afraid of the rain and took glee in pointing out that other world leaders traveled around during the day. Of course, none of them were the President of the United States, but the press didn’t understand that rules for US Presidents are different from rules for 190 other leaders who don’t command the world’s greatest military forces."
President Trump canceled a planned 2018 trip to a cemetery for American war dead in France because of the weather and not because of disdain for the slain soldiers who are buried there or concern about how the weather would affect his...
How do the “The Atlantic story has been debunked” people square Trump lying about calling McCain a loser in the same breath?

And McCains funeral lies
Many people are saying Trump did disparage veterans. That’s good enough for me.
because you said so!
not even close.

The worlds greatest military force is now incapable of transporting the President fifty miles in a light rain while all other countries could accomplish this.
Cool
