He is pouting.
He is pouting because he feels misled about the nature of this trip.
He was tricked into accepting this trip as a substitute for a military parade in DC. Remembrance Day, Veterans Day, 100th anniversary, it all sounded so promising...
He thought he'd get a big military parade with rifles, and cannons, and rockets, and other things which make him feel big and strong in the pants by proxy. And instead he got a bunch of dead losers and flowers.
So he's pouting.

Trump is a dick.
He's also an idiot.

I dont know why he couldnt have used an umbrella to keep his hair dry, but Im convinced thats why he didnt go. Its the Trumpiest reason possible.

(11,495 posts)Narcissists "have" to be the center of attention and when they are not they get mad, angry and they pout. There were a lot of other world leaders in Paris and trump was not the center of attention.

(4,483 posts)He's an out-of-shape 72-year-old man who's just finished traveling all over for his stupid "rallies," and now he's exhausted, too tired to perform the most presidential of duties, representing us at a memorial for war dead. All of his yelling and hand-waving has caught up with him. He's had a really bad week, looking like it's going to get a lot worse. He's pouting, but his body and spirit are failing him, too.

(38,445 posts)He realizes that he is the main reason the Republican Party lost control of the House of Representatives. Pouting is not the correct word....
..His behavior reflects a break down of sorts.. Going to that cemetery with those other leaders was very important, because it would have justified taking that trip. Probably an hour at most. Then he could continue his vacation in Europe away from the press visiting this or that.. But no, he could not even show up for that hour with the other leaders.. He had to take off...It was not pouting, or maybe it was..But I think it was more serious than that.....YOur last sentence says it all.............But I think it was more serious than that..........
