Let me get this straight: taxpayers funded Trump’s trip to France to pay respect to America’s fallen heroes — but instead of doing that he’s lounging at his hotel because it’s damp, even as other foreign leaders attend? What a disgraceful grifter.

A sad moment for Americans when our President is held in such low regard in allied countries on this solemn day. But after dissing the EU, NATO, Merkel, May, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and many others, what else could Donald Trump expect? https://t.co/io6fwHYRkx

Wildfires have long been a fixture of the California experience. But not like this.

At least 24 people are dead, and as citizens flee for their lives in the Northern California wildfires, all the president can do is lay blame (without evidence) and threaten to cut federal funding.
