President Trump Expresses Regret For Not Visiting Arlington National Cemetery On Veterans Day

It’s not every day that President Trump expresses regret. He almost always stands by his decisions and defends them vigorously. However, he admitted there’s ONE thing he wishes he did differently. He wishes he visited the Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day.

“But here’s the question, you’re back in Washington on Monday, Veterans Day,” Chris Wallace said. “Why don’t you go across the river to Arlington for that ceremony? Barack Obama went every year he was here in D.C.”

“I should have done that, I was extremely busy on calls for the country,” Trump said. “We did a lot of calling as you know.”

“But this is Veterans Day,” Wallace said.

“I probably – you know, in retrospect, I should have and I did last year and I will virtually every year,” Trump said. “But we had come in very late at night, and I had just left, literally, the American Cemetery in Paris and I really probably assumed that was fine and I was extremely busy because of affairs of state – doing other things. But I would have – I would have done it.”

It’s nice that he acknowledges that he probably should have, but I don’t– not for one SECOND– think his absence had anything to do with lack of respect for those who serve. He loves our country and those who serve it. That’s abundantly clear.

Here are some highlights from the interview:
