President Donald Trump on Thursday delivered a speech marking the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion at Normandy — after squeezing in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

The ceremony was delayed while the U.S. president spoke with Ingraham, who had complained about Democrats using children as “pathetic political props” during a broadcast the previous evening from the cemetery at Normandy.

TV cameras spotted Trump talking to Ingraham 14 minutes after the ceremony was scheduled to begin, and an announcement was made pushing back the start time as thousands waited.

1. The remembrance is supposed to be at 11:11 am

And he’s sitting talking to fucking Laura Ingram.

8. You may be conflating the 11:11 of Armistice Day (aka Veterans Day).

Why World War I Ended With an Armistice Instead of a Surrender

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the incessant boom of artillery abruptly went silent along the Western Front in France.

11. Sorry, you are correct.

That 11/11 just stuck in my head and I got outraged at the shitgibbon wasting everyone’s time for his own aggrandizement.

2. It's only fair and balanced

4. I don't think these political interviews OF ANY SORT should be occurring at the cemetery!!!! nt

5. Well,.... the AmericKKKan Nazi Party must keep the Nazi propaganda flowing to their Fascist .....

6. I think did they even delay it?

In the real world if you show up late they go on without you. Should have just held the ceremony at the appointed time.

7. Apparently he's so important, the world runs on Trump Time.

As I recall, he was also late to a breakfast assembly during a ceremony last year, and held up the group. In tRump World, just another "Me first", no matter how rude or inconvenient to others.

9. During that interview Trump denigrated Mueller, a decorated war hero while the cameras

showed the multitudes of white crosses in the background behind Trump. Sick that he would choose the backdrop of hallowed ground where thousands of our war dead lie to bash a war hero.

10. Walking talking effluvium, the both of them.
