Other leaders went. Trump is a disgrace. I don’t want to hear about how he supports the military if he avoids paying his share of taxes. Has anyone related to him even been in the US military?

If a football player kneeling during the national anthem is an act of appalling disrespect to the men and women who serve, what is it when the Commander in Chief refuses to go to the cemetery to honor fallen soldiers because of a little rain?

Trump’s decision not to pay his personal respects to the American soldiers who gave their lives in WWI because the rain would supposedly have posed a danger to Mr. Bonespurs is a total disgrace and an abject dereliction of duty. This president is a pig, not a real POTUS. https://t.co/9d945lHmw2

I’ve walked American military cemeteries overseas with General John Kelly. I can’t imagine he’s thrilled with his boss today. In fact, I imagine he’s disgusted.

Of all the "imagine-if-Obama-had-done it" stories, Trump's failure to honor the fallen Americans in France because of (light?) rain may be THE most "imagine-if-Obama-had-done-it" of all. https://t.co/lvcb3D74ag

Even worse. The “rainy day” excuse turned out to be just another Trump fabrication. Disrespect doubled up with duplicity. Awesome. https://t.co/oq2dHE14Bb

I can only imagine what so many of my Republican brethren would have said had Barack Obama let a little rain keep him from an important World War I commemoration.

No need to have fake balance with this. Trump will play golf in the rain but not honor the troops. It’s pathetic. https://t.co/YMWyIEoVUG

Sad!
