Trump Skips Arlington National Cemetery Visit

November 12, 2018 at 12:34 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“At 10:03 a.m. on Monday, the White House called a travel lid, meaning President Trump is not expected to hold any public events for the remainder of the day,” Mic reports.

“That also means that Trump won’t visit Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, as the country observes Veterans Day — an unofficial presidential tradition.”
