There is a vast difference between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. While they are both septuagenarians, only one of them isn’t afraid of the weather. In 2018, Trump was supposed to visit Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Paris, where 2,000 U.S. troops are buried, but he sent Chief of Staff General John Kelly in his place. It was lightly drizzling outside.
It’s 2022 now, and President Joe Biden is at the helm. The Independent reports that Biden was snowed into Air Force One as he landed back in Washington D.C. when a snowstorm brought the U.S. capital to a standstill. Marine One, the presidential helicopter that usually transports the President to the White House from Joint Base Andrews, was grounded by the snowstorm. Biden was driven through the sleet, and comparisons between the President and Trump quickly gained steam on social media.

Remember in November 2018 when Trump decided to stay in a Paris hotel instead of driving 50 miles to honour America’s war dead because he didn’t want to get his hair wet?

This wouldn’t usually be worth covering except for the fact that Trump supporters idolize the former reality show star to the point of photo-shopping his head onto fictitious boxer Rocky Balboa’s body when in reality, the former President is afraid of getting his hair wet.
