Any President, Democratic or Republican, would be criticized for not joining other world leaders in honoring fallen soldiers during an international ceremony marking the 100-year anniversary of the end of WWI. It's not a case of Trump being the victim of the media or 'extreme lefties' or anybody else.
'Rain' is a weak excuse to justify missing the armistice ceremony. 'Campaign fatigue' is an even worse and more selfish excuse (but I've only heard that one from Mags, not Trump and company).
According to a Military Times survey last month, Trump's disapproval rating with active military personnel has increased considerably since he took office.

I won't be surprised if the President's disapproval rating within the military continues to increase, given that: (a) Trump skipped the cemetery visit in France, (b) he failed to make the short trip to Arlington Cemetery to honor our veterans on Veteran's Day, (c ) he is actively working to block the provisional votes of active military personnel from being counted in Florida, and (d) he continues to use the military as a political shield.
