President Trump delivered remarks in a steady downpour on Sunday at an American war memorial and cemetery in France - without the cover of an umbrella - as he honored American vets and heroes.
Trump gave the speech on the centennial anniversary of the First World War, which he was in Paris to celebrate over the weekend, after coming under scrutiny for calling off a trip to a similar memorial while it was raining the day before.
'Exactly 100 years ago today, on Nov. 11 1918, World War One came to an end. Thank god,' he said. 'It was a brutal war.'

Schmuck.
What is a bigger no no and who is a bigger schmuck?
I vote Macron for
- wanting to rehabilitate Petain?
- For going political on speeches?
- For getting all touchy-feely or aggressive with his patting (or both)?
Whenever there's someone telling Ttump don't do this or that because of unwritten rules or what someone thinks, he will break with your expectations.
Black tie? No, why. Red could represent the colours of both the French and American flag and the blood they bled. Why not. Why is so much about what colours you wear or how you smile (see other post by you about how to look at putin and how not to look. Who cares? I care more about actual actions. And Macron talks a LOT and wears all the right colours and looks the right way but his actions are lacking. You know?
