https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/revealed-trump-sulked-europe-dreams-grand-military-parade-evaporated/#.W-maBjOmPNA.twitterresident Donald Trump spent the weekend in France, skipping World War I commemoration events and apparently sulking in front of the television, instead of enjoying the grand military parade hed once envisioned for himself.
The president was dazzled last year by the 2017 Bastille Day parade in Paris, and he notified defense officials he wanted a display like that for Veterans Day the following year, reported CNN.
But military officials balked at the nearly $100 million cost, and eventually persuaded the president he needed to mark the 100th anniversary of World War Is end with other world leaders.
The solemn events he found in Paris were more stately than spectacular, and he sent a series of tweets grousing about vote recounts back in the U.S. and blaming massive California wildfires on forest management.
Trump remained at the U.S. ambassadors residence Saturday after military and security officials determined cloud cover posed a safety hazard for the presidents Marine One helicopter, but the White House did not have a backup plan in place to get Trump to the Aisne-Marne American cemetery.
The White House declined to say how Trump spent those hours that opened up in his schedule, but the president tweeted that evening hed had some very productive meetings and calls for our country today.

(4,723 posts)2. He wasn't the center of attention
That's what it boiled down to. He skipped events and caused trouble just like a little boy who doesn't have all eyes on him and acts out for attention. He is destroying this country, and a major part of why is his attention demanding behavior. I am firmly convinced he doesn't believe half of the nonsense that comes out of his flapping yap, and only says it to keep attention on himself. Pathetic.
