Surrounded by World War II veterans in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump said Thursday he will travel to France in June to celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

"I’ll be there,” Trump said of ceremonies in France to commemorate the June 6, 1944 landing of allied forces on Normandy's coast.

Trump met with World War II veterans and their families at the White House on Thursday.

“I want to be like all of you someday,” Trump said.

The Sunday Times reported this week that Queen Elizabeth II is preparing to invite Trump for a formal state visit, potentially also in June.

1. No words.

20. Trump will never grow up to be a war hero.

He will never grow up at all.

[Submariner]

2. That entire post reads like the Onion

[ZZenith]

3. Irony Alert!

He will become the most cowardly man to have ever stood on that beach.

[ArizonaLib]

18. I know - 75 years after that beach was secured

seems about right. Will his bone spurs heal in time for the trip? Is he only going there to pay his respects to the Germans who died defending the beaches? Does he think he owns a golf course there? Is he going to criticize the beaches name? Is he going to write 'No collusion' in the sand? Is he going to declare ketchup a vegetable (oops - wrong dumb ass president).

22. Dick Head Makes Beach Head.

And gets some head from Les Mademoiselle Hookers.

4. "I want to be like all of you someday," Trump said.

WTF does that even mean? The stupid grows by the day.

[Marie Marie]

11. He's insane?

[maxsolomon]

30. He's not insane. He's bullshitting.

Everything is a joke except his ego.

[riversedge]

55. I wonder if -since he is the Commander in Chief, he thinks he will be a vet someday???

Otherwise, he is just stupid.

5. But what if it rains?

27. "Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep fallin...nothing seems to fit."

[Evolve Dammit]

28. My thought exactly. Bad hair day, no show

[NanceGreggs]

32. That was my first thought, too.

And using an umbrella isn't an option - as we've seen, he doesn't know how to operate one.

[Stuart G]

6. Our president should be there....needs to be there. Sadly, this is Trump. Perhaps,

he will stick to a very short script. "I am here to honor those that died and fought to save the world from Hitler and Nazi Germany."

That is the sentence that Trump could use. Then, shut the fuck up

[BigmanPigman]

35. He should but what are the odds that he won't?

I'll say 10:1 he'll stick his foot in his mouth again. It is in there so much I think he has hoof and mouth disease instead of regular dementia.

[Stuart G]

37. I agree with you. He will sick his foot in his mouth. I wish I could K and R your post..

We will see. Maybe, just maybe..an advisor will tell him what to say, and he will indeed make a short respectful statement. But.................I doubt it...........

[politicaljunkie41910]

68. I assure you he will tell at least one lie in that speech. He can't help himself.

Now what lie he tells is to be determined and we'll see how low he can go. It will have to be something that makes him appear remorseful yet heroic. My guess is he'll make up some lie about how much he wanted to serve but was unable to do so due to an injury, (not the bone spurs) and how it always haunted him that he couldn't be there to support some of his classmates who did serve and lost their lives. His one regret is that he wasn't there to save them, because he knew that he could have had he been there, because he was the strongest, fastest, bravest, most fearless guy in his school, and everyone knew it as well and they would tell him that all the time.

7. You can count on Fat Donnie being at the celebration, unless it rains.

Then he'll be at Mar-A-Lago, tweeting.

8. Hopefully, it rains. nt

9. FOX News won't be able to screen all those catcalls.

[Cold War Spook]

34. WWII veterans will not catcall a president.

They have too much class for that. They will be respectful.

[Maxheader]

43. Yes..

Vets have already heard the coward diss the armed forces...How it dissed a special forces
american kia..to his widow..

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly says that he coached Donald Trump on what to say to the widow of a US soldier killed in action, and told him to express to her that her husband had acted honorably in making the decision to accept a dangerous position as a soldier.

Included in the advice was a phrase that has stirred controversy in recent days, and one that Mr Trump has denied he used during the phone call: "He knew what he was getting into."

[no_hypocrisy]

46. But not necessarily the BRITISH AND FRENCH WWII veterans . . . . .

and their families.

81. Let me know when we have a president. nt

That's my prediction.

21. I hope it doesn't rain when he's there.

[IggleDuer]

31. Melena will hold the umbrella for him

N/T.

[3catwoman3]

79. I hope it does, once he is already...

...outside and the ceremony is underway - no place to run, no place to hide.

[LisaM]

23. Is he going to gripe that Charles de Gaulle didn't name the cemetary after himself?

I'm sure he'll come out with some totally cringe-worthy remark.

[DesertRat]

24. "I want to be like all of you someday," Trump said.

WTF does he mean by that?

[smirkymonkey]

72. What is that?

Dead? I hope so.

[DesertRat]

74. Right! lol

[yaesu]

25. What a disgrace nt

[Blue Owl]

26. Someone tell him the "D" doesn't stand for "Diaper"

n/t

[IggleDuer]

33. He probably thinks the D in D-Day stands for "Donald"

N/T

[Evolve Dammit]

29. Where is the piece from his college cohorts who called him "Diaper Don" after getting drunk A LOT?

[FakeNoose]

65. I think it was Donny Jr's nickname

Donald (Sr.) didn't have any friends in college.

[Evolve Dammit]

80. It was definately DJT aka "45" but I can't recall where it was posted. Apparently he would

routinely get so drunk he would piss himself, hence the nickname "Diaper Don". That's what the college chum alleged in the post I read. Sorry I didn't bookmark it. I tend not to keep stuff that is vile and disgusting. Interesting how he does not drink at all now. I know he had a brother that died of alcoholism and I feel for that.

[FakeNoose]

82. I guess it's a coincidence

... that Don Jr.'s friends also gave him the same nickname.

https://people.com/politics/diaper-donald-trump-jr-new-book/

I've read a handful of books and I haven't come across the nickname for Donald (Sr.) yet. David Cay Johnston (among other authors) has done extensive research and his books don't reveal any nicknames for Don (Sr.). Johnston only says that he attended few classes and had few friends during his college years. He mainly spent most of his time working for Dad because he hoped to take over the family business.

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. Has anyone ever asked him which side his dad rooted for?

It would be a genuine question, what with his Ku Klux Klan-supporting past and anti-semitic and racist upbringing of Donald. Still, Donald can be there for reconciliation.

[doc03]

38. I wonder if he knows what D Day was? nt

[CDerekGo]

39. Hairplug Himmler

better hope it doesn't rain. We all remember what happened last time he was across the Pond for WW2 remembrance, and ditched...

[jmowreader]

63. He CAN'T be outside

His hairspray will never allow it.

[kacekwl]

40. I'm sure France

is thrilled.

[mahina]

41. May our fathers, uncles and cousins

Reach up and knock him into






Reason. I’ll settle for reason.

[Dave Starsky]

42. "I want to watch my friends bleeding out, cold and wet, on a foreign beach fighting for democracy."

I really don't think that Trump meant that.

[dchill]

44. Where is he going to stay? The Normandy Trump Tower?

[oldsoftie]

45. Oh God this is gonna be embarrassing...........

[Maeve]

47. He's only going for the parade

They told him there would be another parade and we won't give him one...

[BlueIdaho]

48. His mere presence degrades the sacrifices made there.

I can’t imagine a bigger insult to those who fought, bled, and died there than having shit for brains show up for a photo op.

[left-of-center2012]

49. He'll ride in his golf cart?

[underpants]

53. Will they remember to make plans and have somewhere for him to stay?

Donald Trump 'has trouble finding hotel room at G20 summit'

Donald Trump has reportedly had trouble getting a hotel room for the upcoming G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

His team apparently waited too long to book accommodations for the President and his travelling staff and were told none of the major hotels had vacancies, Buzzfeed reported.


However, the Hamburg government's Senate House will reportedly host him, while staff will likely stay at the US Consulate there.

59. Hope it isn't raining.....

[dflprincess]

60. Does he even know what D-Day was?

Perhaps he should watch "Saving Private Ryan" before he goes.

[Dem2theMax]

61. He wants to be like all of the World War II vets?

All of the World War II vets I have ever known, including both of my parents, are dead.

Okay Trump. I hope you get to be like all those World War II vets. And very soon, I might add.

Might I suggest extra hamberders and KFC for lunch and dinner everyday?

[susanna]

62. Will he show up for the memorial this time?

Asking for billions of friends...

[2naSalit]

64. You just KNOW

that he's going to mess that up in ways we can't imagine. Reminds me of these two things, simultaneously...



an old stand up routine that Jeff Foxworthy did about rednecks in Georgia at the Olympics opening ceremony waitin' in the parkin' lot with their shotguns for when the doves are let loose.

Where will he meet with pUTIN?

70. Going to drive him up and down the beach in a Golf cart??

That fat ass can't walk 50 feet on his own.

[marble falls]

73. I sure hope he doesn't rain ...

"I want to be like all of you someday,” Trump said." Was he wearing his Purple Heart?

[crim son]

75. He's gonna be super surprised

when he learns that "D-Day" isn't short for "Donut Day."

[Turbineguy]

76. They can rename it "T Day"!

[sarcasmo]

78. No way this doesn't end in a train wreck.

[Hekate]

83. Oh, the shame of Dotard Don on the world stage. As the USSR was our ally in WW II, Putin will...

...also be there -- causing the Mad King to grin and wave during solemn rites.

Please dear Goddess, can he have a case of flu just before then so he has to stay home?

[0rganism]

84. 75 years later, a Nazi leader returns to France

this is shameful on so many levels...

[Iumberto]

85. He's a draft dodger

He would have dodged world war 2 too.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

86. I wonder how he will demonstrate his respect ...

I have an answer: sandy beaches, deep bunkers, here's the place
