President Trump has assailed the media once again, for …”taking the words I say and writing them down, only to somehow make them later appear in magazines and newspapers.”
Trump was shouting from under a wing of Air Force One, ignoring aides’ advice to wait until the engines were shut down, citing his First Amendment right to compete with jet engines.
Atlantic Magazine’s latest issue ran an article that explained why Trump failed to appear in 2018, with other world leaders, at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery to mark the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I.
According to four sources, the president had cancelled plans to attend because “the rain would make his hair look like a goatee on a volley ball.” They added that he also characterized the war dead buried there, as “losers who weren’t smart enough to fake bone spurs.”
To the assembled reporters, Trump displayed a photo of himself visiting Arlington National Cemetery, alongside the son of a fallen Marine, dressed like his dad.
“Here I am at another cemetery. I guess we have a lot of them. You can see here that I am standing with a member of the Midget Marines. They are an elite group that is often fired out of cannons like frozen turkeys behind enemy lines. Probably without the hats. I suppose the lying media will now say that I looked like a fool, for revealing our secret pint-sized Marines to the world.”
