Trump on Skipping Arlington Cemetery Visit on Veterans Day: I Was BusyIn an interview with Fox News Chris Wallace, President Trump claimed that he was simply too busy to visit Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Daybut his public schedule and tweets suggest otherwise. According to an interview transcript, Wallace asked the president why he didnt go across the river to Arlington after returning from France on Monday, noting that Barak Obama went every year while he was in D.C. The president admitted he probably should have done that, but claimed he was extremely busy on calls for the country. Trump also claimed he came in from France very late that night. I really probably assumed that was fine and I was extremely busy because of affairs of statedoing other things, Trump reiterated. Trumps public schedule for Nov. 12 said the president had no public events scheduled. He also tweeted a total of eight times that day.

those little thumbs were very busy doing "affairs of state."
And I would have loved to see IQ45's face when Chris Wallace said that "Barak Obama" went every year.
