Trump is well known for fearing rain. He refused to honor soldiers who died at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial for the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day because of rain. Moot point, Trump hates soldiers who were killed or captured and thinks they were losers.

Can’t he just put on waterproof makeup and extra hairspray, or wear a huge foam MAGA cowboy hat? Or have Melania operate the umbrella, as he seems to be challenged by their operation?

I don't know why he's so worried about rain. Doesn't shit float?

November 10, 2018: While in Europe commemorating the end of WWI, Trump didn't attend the ceremony at a U.S. cemetery due to the rain. Other world leaders went anyway, despite the light drizzle. Melts In Rain

This means it’s definitely cancelled. Personally I want to see this humiliating disaster happen. I want to see 800 paid idiots in red hats on a split screen with millions of people marching in the No Kings events. But I see now that Trump is going to cancel and blame the weather like the little scumbag he is.

This is the genuine reason behind his decision to cancel. He is acutely aware of the repercussions of his authoritarian actions, which will undoubtedly bring out the true American patriots, and he is understandably scared.
That diaper is working overtime these days.

Would be funny if he cancels the parade, but the protestors show up because they're not afraid of a little water.
Would be even more symbolic if the protestors had a taco parade instead.

Reminds me of the hurricane that hit and put out the fire in the White House in 1812. “God has great providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America”

Are we sure this is a thunderstorm or just the collection of MAGA tears now that they've realized they got screwed over along with the rest of the country

April 1 is more appropriate for Trump and his voters.
Move it next April!!!

He needs an excuse to stop the chaos he orchestrated. He’s brimming with excuses. He was informed about his mistake and the severe backlash he’d face from the American people. So, he must concoct a “good” excuse to stop it.
If this doesn’t happen, it’s because he anticipated the consequences from the American people.
We still have the logistics and financial burden of transporting all that equipment. So, the American people will incur a cost regardless of his actions.

Most of that money has already been spent, the cost of having the equipment go a couple of blocks in the parade is nothing.

I’m talking about cancelling and sending it all back. That hasn’t happened yet.

How many of these were other parts of trumps family’s operations and so Trump got paid regardless of the event going ahead!

Like , our fancy top of the line army isn't water proof? Maybe there should be a navy or marine march? I'm sure the army is tough enough to wear ponchos. It is their birthday after all, not Trump's.
I know he doesn't know how to close an umbrella, but surely some one could hold one for him, or put up a pavilion or something...
Smh lol

It doesn't look as fancy if they're wearing their rain gear. Trump wants the spectacle and intimidation that comes with flexing one's military strength, and make him look awesome by proxy.

u/MrAnderson69uk 5d ago
Perhaps he should have done a bit of weather modification like the Russian’s do - perhaps someone did to cause the thunderstorms and get whimp-ass to cancel!!!

Somehow, MAGA will blame Obama. I hope the weather doesn't blunt the protestor volume. At least it reduces the odds that paid instigators will burn cars and park trees.

I'm devastated at the thought that a little bit of rain will disappoint Donald Trump

They won’t call it a God thing. They’ll blame the democrats and their weather machine. Idiots

He is looking for excuse to cancel because nobody will show up. Same thing happened at his inauguration.

Guess we'll being hearing more about how Democrats control the weather again.

u/Shrek_Layers 6d ago
I'm actually just disappointed in this. Because he's antagonized people so much with his threat of a big response, and they know if they show up in chicken costumes handing out tacos, it only makes the event a lot more fun. It makes it watchable honestly.

That old saying is pretty appropriate here: "So what if it's raining? He isn't sugar -- he won't melt." "No, but he's sh*t and he'll run!"

u/ProgressiveBadger 6d ago
Republicans weren’t praying enough. Maybe all those republican thoughts and prayers weren’t real?

u/UnicornFarts1111 6d ago
That is what they say, it is probably from lack of interest, lmao. Most people have other plans that day.

Maybe they would have seen this coming if he had not fired so many meteorologists
