'I should have' gone to Arlington Veterans Day service, Trump says, but 'I was extremely busy'

President Trump got a boatload of flack for not making the traditional Veterans Day visit to Arlington National Cemetery. And unlike his rainy day debacle in France, he doesn't have anyone else to blame.

In a Friday interview, Fox News' Chris Wallace asked Trump why he didn't stop by Arlington earlier this week. "I should have done that," Trump responded, before adding that he "was extremely busy on calls for the country." Still, in what The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey called "a rare showing of regret," Trump continued to say "in retrospect he should have" made the visit and he "will virtually every year."

On Saturday, Trump also skipped a rainy World War I memorial service just outside Paris due to what the White House called "scheduling and logistical difficulties caused by the weather." But the president wasn't bogged down by international calls that time — It was apparently the Secret Service's fault.
