French army trolls Trump for not visiting First World War cemetery in Paris because of rain

A little rain never hurt anyone. Well, apart from the president of the United States’s reputation that is.

By now the entire world has had ample opportunity to mock president Trump endlessly after he reportedly skipped a visit to a US war cemetery because of some rain. In reality, the thin-skinned president reportedly skipped the trip because he was in a hissy fit with French president Emmanuel Macron, but the excuse has led to endless mockery online.

Images of other world leaders — like Macron and German chancellor Angela Merkel — attending Armistice events, despite the poor weather, made Trump’s absence stand out further. As did a widely circulated 2017 speech by Justin Trudeau and pictures of Barack Obama speaking in the pouring rain.

But France's army couldn't resist sticking the knife in to the president, tweeting a hilarious photograph to mock Trump’s absence. Two days after the president’s no-show, the French army tweeted a photo of a soldier crawling on a rainy pavement, with the caption: "There's rain, but it's not serious. We're staying motivated".

People on social media were quick to show their appreciation for the joke.

Perhaps the American president needs some ice for that burn?
