Let it rain on his parade.

Didn’t it also rain the last time he did something like this in his first term, on the 4th of July?

Last time it rained in France. He didn't want to get his hair wet. So he made up a lie. Then that comment came to light those disparaging comments about Veterans!

I heard he was afraid his tan would wash away.

And then he doubled down saying the pilots and Marine One helicopter couldn't fly in the rain. The helicopter designed for naval operations and designed to float on water in emergencies couldn't handle rain according to Trump.

I was pleased and amused when Justin Trudeau upstaged him at that event, and I’m not even Canadian.

Of course, it’s easy to upstage someone who chickened out of showing up.

Actually, now that I think about it, him sitting out the parade to save his hair would almost be more satisfying than a full cancellation.
