President Trump is in Paris to help observe the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The trip has been a yawn so far. Yesterday the media tried to make a big deal about Trump's cancellation of a visit to an American cemetery from the WW I era. The weather was rainy, so Trump's helicopter couldn't safely make the trip. That gave rise to a bunch of snarky comments from the media and some politicians, but really, does anyone actually believe that Trump just decided on a whim not to go after first scheduling the visit?
Then there's the so called Peace Forum. That's an annual meeting run by French president Macron at which heads of state discuss peace. Trump isn't going. Let me clue you in to what will be discussed. The leaders favor peace. They won't actually do anything to guarantee the peace, though. The forum is only long enough for each leader to make a short statement.
And let's not forget the French protesters against President Trump. Today, there was supposed to be a march in Paris by some protesters, but that's nothing new. There was also a protest at which some topless women ran into traffic near Trump's motorcade. I'm not sure what they were protesting, but I am sure that Trump appreciated the protest if he actually saw it.
