Trump Decided to Skip Cemetery Visit, Blamed Aides for Fallout: Report

President Trump reportedly made the decision not to visit a U.S. military cemetery outside Paris over Veterans Day weekend and then lashed out at aides when the move prompted a backlash. A senior White House official cited by The Washington Post late Tuesday said Deputy White House Chief of Staff Zachary Fuentes had informed Trump on Sunday morning that the Secret Service had expressed concern about flying Marine One through rain and fog to get to the Aisne-Marne U.S. cemetery about 50 miles away. Based on that information, Trump reportedly decided to abandon the trip, with the White House claiming bad weather had kept him grounded.
