POTUS: “A man of no history”

“Donald Trump is a man of no history. He has no comprehension of what World War I meant to Europe and the world. He has no comprehension of the loss entailed and the dangers that World War I put back on the center stage. He has no comprehension of what happened in World War II. He stood in a city, on a boulevard, the Champs-Élysées, where Nazi troops marched down 75, 80 years ago—he has no sense of that,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel talks about President Donald Trump canceling a planned visit to a U.S. cemetery in France for Americans killed in World War I, citing bad weather grounded his helicopter. Listen to more of the discussion here of Trump’s weekend visit to Paris and his need for the spotlight.
