Donald Trump cancels speech to Israeli Parliament because 'he did not want to be heckled'

[quote]One of Donald Trump’s speech in Israel was cancelled over concerns that he would be heckled by members of Israel’s parliament.
Mr Trump was scheduled to speak in front of the Knesset during his two-day trip earlier in the week, but Speaker Yuli Edelstein told Army Radio that the White House decided to forgo the opportunity.
They were concerned given the Knesset’s history of spirited debates full of jeers and interruptions. Mr Edelstein said "the possibility was explored as a first option, and it was dropped from the agenda because it was clear that the president wouldn't be able to speak."
Mr Trump instead spoke at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Previous presidents who have addressed the Knesset include Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Barack Obama spoke at a university instead of the parliament, however the decision was likely precipitated by the icy relationship he had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In contrast, Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu seem to have a much more collegial rapport despite Mr Trump revealing classified information from Israel to Russian officials during their Oval Office meeting.[/quote]

We have the Neil Breen of Presidents...
You're the president of the US, you're going to be heckled by someone no matter where you are. Come on, what a weak leader.
Wow, what a baby. :v:
Even Stephen Harper addressed the Knesset. I was critical of him for doing it, but at least he didn't chicken out because he was afraid they'd tease him.
But I thought it was the liberals that were crybabies :v:

Funny how Hard core Conservatives and Alt-righters constantly used this tactic for years on end. Ironically, that behavior is coming back to bite them on the ass.

Apparently you are only a crybaby pussy if you get upset over shit that actually matters.
Being a good old fashioned coward with a fragile ego is A-okay.

It's almost like irony and hypocrisy is directly proportional to how far right wing you are
Weak. We have an obese crybaby for a president.
Reminds me of the video comparison of Obama calmly addressing a heckler vs. Trump calling for the crowd to beat up and forcefully remove a heckler while promising to cover their legal fees.
Low energy president can't even handle a little locker room talk?
maybe it's a good thing, because if he did get heckled i think the nukes would be launching within the hour due to trump's infinitesimally thin skin getting pierced
Donald Trump makes an onion skin seem as tough as old leather. This shit makes you want to laugh, but then you see how pathetic it truly is and wonder how this bozo even got elected.

Remember, Obama can take a joke and even make fun of himself. Colbert Report and the WHCD showed it a lot. Meanwhile, the current "president" gets triggered over the smallest criticism or heckle.

Looks like now hes resorted to stopping any chance of even being criticized or heckled so he can have a full uninterrupted ego feast.
Trump chose the wrong career if he doesn't like being criticized
Might as well hunker down and just live in the PEOC for the rest of his term
what a pussy

You can't be a crybaby if you hide from criticism.

Trump (2015): I'm going to run for president of the United States. Yes, that's what I'll do! And I'll do such a GREAT job, EVERYBODY is going to love me!"
Trump (present): WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE WANT ME TO DIE IN A FIRE?! ;_;
