President Donald Trump cancelled his upcoming trip to South America on Tuesday, and will send Vice President Mike Pence in his place.
“President Trump will not attend the 8th Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru or travel to Bogota, Colombia as originally scheduled,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. “At the President’s request, the Vice President will travel in his stead. The President will remain in the United States to oversee the American response to Syria and to monitor developments around the world.”
On Saturday, dozens of Syrians were killed in an alleged chemical attack in the city of Douma. Trump and most Western leaders denounced the attacks, though the Syrian government dismissed the allegations, saying that reports of the attacks are “fabrications.”
That’s a nice story, but I’m betting that ‘Spank Me’ Donald is wearing his brown pants today in anticipation of what his weasel of a lawyer will say in order to save his own skin.
Trump is in a fetal position somewhere waiting for the phone call that will trigger his final spasm.
“and to monitor developments around the world”
I guess he can’t get Fox in South America.
The President will remain in the United States to oversee the American response to Syria and to monitor developments around the world.
This is a completely petulant move, a continuation of the “boring speech” thing. He’s getting tired of it. I would guess we’ll see more of this.
He’s canceling an important trip where heads of state of our closest neighbors are gathering… because of the chemical weapons attack in Syria (which has concluded and is not ongoing).
OK.
Not because there’s a river of legal trouble looming over him, about to burst from the dam. No, of course not. Not at all.
