Trump wouldn’t visit a World War I cemetery because of rain

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.

— Doug Heye (@DougHeye) November 10, 2018

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

Since Gallup polled through Sunday, this is a first glimpse into how the public is reacting to Trump's divisive rhetoric about last week's violence. @latimes also polled through Sunday and found a 4 point shift to Democratic candidates. https://t.co/izI9WAf8YJ https://t.co/8jwnzQyPmY

Trump summarized in a tweet

Past presidents and presidential candidates have seen the polarization of the country as a problem they had to address.

Trump, from the minute he became a candidate, saw it as an opportunity he could exploit.

That’s the difference.

— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) October 29, 2018

He only cares about his base.

Donald Trump didn’t create our polarized world. But he sure as hell hasn’t helped it — or even tried to try. https://t.co/6SJAT5ykLK

The Russians and Chinese listen to some of Trump’s calls

He bashed Hillary Clinton for her email server but he is using an insecure iPhone. He has been warned about it and still does it. Sad!

of course Obama is correct https://t.co/0GqTvlHsWN

When Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are often listening, current and former American officials tell NYT. https://t.co/1iZq6PQ1Jy

Trump falsely accused President Obama of wiretapping his campaign, yet has ignored warnings from intelligence officials that Chinese and Russian spies are eavesdropping on his conversations as president. Let that one sink in.

— Robert Reich (@RBReich) October 25, 2018

“We briefed Trump's chief of staff early in 2017 about the vulnerabilities of these phones,” said a former senior intelligence official. “It scared the crap out of Reince Priebus but that didn’t matter. It didn’t change the behavior of the president.” https://t.co/1YvAmgVQwR

The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it. I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong!

If Trump ate salads, would he use Russian dressing?

He would if Putin told him to.

Trump approval polls 10/23/18

The more he lies, the higher his approval rating goes?

I am guessing this is about the economy.

Trump's current RCP avg is 44.2% approval.

That's equal to or better than 7 of the last 17 presidents on the eve of a midterm (using Gallup data). pic.twitter.com/6dQVbCEvK9

Trump attacks transgender people to please evangelicals

The evangelical right have been warning people of "gender ideology" here and around the world, as if it were the new communism. Now, the department of health and human services are trying to define gender based on biological determination at birth. https://t.co/ZBSxbALGmh
