(43,049 posts)but it is far more more important than a certain tweeter. The point isn't to be the big guy in the middle, but that it is happening at all. For the President of the USA to avoid it is absolutely horrific and digs further at the foundations of world understanding and the standing of the US in the world.
Past Presidents, even the lamer ones, all understood that the parades weren't important, but respect from the world was. Trump doesn't, never did, and never will. He is the kid at the carnival who will never grow up to be anything more than the guy who introduces the magician. And maybe the "naked ladies".
