In an interview to air this Sunday, Chris Wallace questions Trump about Veterans Day. CHRIS WALLACE: “But here is the question, you’re back in town Monday, Veterans Day, why don’t you go across the river to Arlington for that ceremony? Barack Obama went every year he was in D.C.” TRUMP: “I should have done that, I was extremely busy on calls for the country, we did a lot of calling as you know.” CHRIS WALLACE: “But this is Veterans Day,” TRUMP: “I could have done that. As you know I just left the day before the American Cemetery and I probably think — and that was one where it was raining as hard as you can imagine and I made a speech at the American Cemetery the day before. And I probably, you know, in retrospect, I should have. And I did last year **(he didn’t)**, and I will virtually every year. 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.” CHRIS WALLACE: Why? TRUMP: But I would have - I would have done it. ---

Some further pearls of wisdom from the Wallace interview: [The president said he had seen the firemen at work and saw them raking under trees near the flames of the fires. Trump said that had the areas around the trees been raked out earlier, there would have been no fire burning.](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-california-wildfires-how-star-blame-climate-change-leaves-raking-1220377) ---

I long for the day when someone says something like “How the hell would you know? What do you know about firefighting? Have you ever even touched a rake?” It’s wrong to pretend Trump’s declarative statements have worth, I don’t understand why reporters always let them slide. ---

I don’t get the hate for “the caravan”. Have they actually broken any US laws? If not, then STFU about it. It’s not an invasion. It’s not even a drop in the bucket regarding immigration. If anything, it’s been a great way of showing how little the current president of the United States cares about any of his own country’s laws, especially its basic law, the constitution. ---

I can imagine him issuing an executive order for a Federal forest-raking program and getting – I dunno – Canada to pay for it. Mexico still owes us for the wall.
