WW1 100YR memorial: Trump cancels due to "weather", 69 other world leaders are going (54 & rainy)

[edward37]

No excuse needed. The rain grounded the helicopter so they did not go.


THe only people pretending to care are those that hate Trump with a fiery passion.


No one else cares.

You damn sure would have cared if Pres Obama had not attended.

Nope. I would have opposed him either way, and I would not have pretended that something like this would have made a difference to me.

Please spare us that bullshit.

Screw you some more.

^^^ someone’s having a bad day.

Reumps DOW off again

It's readily apparent that there are quite a few on here who don't know that helicopters can fly in the rain.

They can. Matter of fact, I've even seen them flying in the rain myself. Happened lots of times when the CONCORD was doing VERTREP for other ships.

As far as Marine 1 not being able to make the trip because of rain? Highly doubtful, because not only do we provide the president with some of the best equipment to get him around, it is maintained and operated by some of the best that the military has to offer. I know, because there were a couple of people that I had to get screened for WH duty, and the screening is quite extensive. Not only do you have to be at the top of your game in your job, but you also have to pass a physical, mental, and command screening as well as a credit check.

As far as not being able to fly in the rain? The weather ceiling was low, and there was rain, but not enough to affect the flight capabilities of the helo, and even though visibility may not have been the best at the time, Marine 1 is also outfitted with instruments that allows it to fly in low visibility situations.

That means only Trumpsters don't care Republicans don't care that trump is scum He's their scum and will protect him no matter what the fool says or does

The rain grounded the helicopter. The President did not attend a ceremony.


You libs are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Guess you didn't hear the one about his limo procession would have hurt traffic?

Now, now. Sycophant Correll is right. It’s dangerous to fly your limo in the rain.

Screw you.

What?? I was taking your side.

I wanted someone to screw you. That's being on your side too.

Everyone else got there OK.

for his fat ass top bear.
You libs are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

He could have gone by car but I guess was way to much fore him to sacrifice to honor those who gave all.

Maybe Donnie was pissed they fought against his ancestors?

 

[Correll]

Is it true that he didn't attend the ceremony?

Is it true the excuse was horseshit.

Yes. No. So you are just throwing shit.

So he didn't attend because of what exactly?

Safety.

Come on man you know as well as I do that is bullshit, damn they can tell a Trumper anything.

those Marine helicopters are built for more hazardess weather than a few raindrops.

This was not a combat op.

Really? YOu were trying to make the point that just because a combat helicopter, operating under combat conditions CAN do something,


doesn't mean that under peace time conditions, you would take the same type of risks?



I must have misunderstood.


Well, thanks.


And you are correct. ONly a total dumbass would expect a pilot to take the same type of risks, especially in the middle of a city, with a high profile cargo, like the President,


as he would with combat troops in a war zone.

Um..................quick question dude...............do you REALLY think that Trump would be brave enough to go to an active combat zone? I don't.

But, you did bring up the point that it wasn't a combat op. You are correct. But, Marine 1 is equipped with pilots and an airframe that is capable in many kinds of inclement weather, as well as can be flown in both VFR and IFR situations.

No, there was zero excuse for Trump to not attend.

no, idiot. if a machine is DESIGNED & BUILT & MAINTAINED to withstand treacherous weather conditions... then a misty rain is nothing to worry about unless of course president tribblehead is CONcerned what it will do to the creature on top of his head.

I think that is just an excuse he used, because he knows we can't check out what the SS did or didn't suggest, as presidential movements are classified.

You know, I've seen helicopters ferrying cargo from my ship USS CONCORD (AFS-5), which later became USNS CONCORD (T-AFS-5). And, even though those helicopters weren't outfitted with as much technical gear as what is in Marine 1, they were still outfitted with equipment that allowed them to fly in the rain under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), and there weren't many conditions that would stop a VERTREP (Vertical Replenishment). Why Marine 1 was grounded is beyond me, but it wasn't because the airframe was incapable of flying in light rain.

Matter of fact, the only time I've gone on a helo that had to wait for weather to clear was when I took a familiarization ride on one in Newport RI, and we had to wait for the fog to lift because the 'copter wasn't equipped with IFR equipment.
