Some US presidents have experienced umbrella difficulty.
One, in particular, finds rain challenging.
Other world leaders, including tyrannical ones, apparently aren't concerned with excessive moisture.
World War I ended 100 years ago. World leaders met to commemorate the veterans and to acknowledge a duty to preserve the peace.
Fitting the solemnity of the occasion, it rained.
Trump, possibly due to an umbrella inability, did not attend the commemoration but did tweet "Happy 243rd Birthday" to the U.S. Marine Corps from the hotel room.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron were among leaders honoring those who died in WWI.
"The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death. . . . Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism." - Emmanuel Macron
Post Script:
Trump topped off Veteran's Day by announcing Florida should ignore mail-in ballots, which have a high percentage of votes from Military personnel.
Hopefully, veterans and military personnel had a Veterans Day befitting their sacrafice.
