pet la petulant of president trump. he didn t want to be here. he wanted to be having his own big parade in washington. that s what was supposed to be happening here. in august he realized that s going to be so expensive. against american traditions, he decided he could come here. even in august when i was talking to diplomats, they were saying, you know, he s not going to like it on november 11. it s not going to be a big parade like the one of buastill day that he attended last year with macron which was the beginning of the bromance when he saw a massive military parade and felt like it was all about him. there s no massive military parade today. it s definitely not all about him. didn t really want to be here. he s acting just like he always acts when he s put out, petulant. i want to ask you this. the white house says no formal plans for president trump to meet with putin there in france. we saw them together at this
ferocious battle in world war i, and it s ironic because you have john kelly, and you have general mattis, two marine four star generals in the administration, you would think that the president would honor them by doing this. the whole impression that this gives is that the president was lazy about it, that he just didn t feel like he wanted to go, and in fact, if you watch his interaction with macron, and you look at that bizarre tweet as he was landing, it s pretty clear he doesn t really want to be here. this is not his kind of show. when he was here on july 14th, last year, bastille day, it was all about him, he thought, all that big parade, everything going on. this is not all about him. there are lots and lots and lots of other leaders and in fact, diplomats here were telling me months ago that they thought it was a very strange choice of his to come here because he wasn t going to be the center of attention, and he doesn t like that. he wanted his big parade in washington.
