Here’s Why Trump Missed a Memorial Service

Trump cleared his name by explaining why he could not attend a memorial service in France on November 10th. The Daily Caller reports:

President Donald Trump defended his administration’s decision not to attend a scheduled World War I memorial service Saturday in France, saying the Secret Service would not allow him to attend because of weather considerations.

Trump has been criticized for his decision and accused of not wanting to attend the ceremony in the pouring rain. The president pointed out that he attended another memorial service in the rain the next day.

Trump’s explanation echoes a Sunday evening statement from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying “because of near-zero visibility, Marine One was unable to fly, as had been planned. A car ride of two and a half hours, each way, would have required closures to substantial portions of the Paris roadways for the President’s motorcade, on short notice. President Trump did not want to cause that kind of unexpected disruption to the city and its people.”

The leftist media would have blamed Trump for shutting down a major roadway if he had decided to get there by car. They’ll do anything to score cheap political points.
