Trump tells families of war dead: Look at me, I have everything

((The Telegraph via MSN))

Donald Trump told a Memorial Day ceremony attended by families of war dead that he had “everything”.

The US president, seemingly digressing from his prepared remarks while speaking at Arlington National Cemetery, said he was looking forward to hosting the Olympics, World Cup and a military parade during his second term after paying tribute to the sacrifice of fallen soldiers.

Mr Trump said the event would be a “big, big celebration”, and added: “I’m glad I missed that second term where it was because I wouldn’t be your president.”

The president told the crowd at Arlington National Amphitheatre, who warmly received him and applauded his remarks: “In addition, we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics.

“Can you imagine I missed that four years? And now look what I have I have everything - amazing the way things work out.”

The Capitol. Surprised he didn't credit a Biblical force with guiding his lucky "miss."
