On this day in 1944, the Allied invasion of Normandy begins with the execution of Operation Neptune — commonly referred to as D-Day — the largest seaborne invasion in history. Nearly 160,000 Allied troops cross the English Channel with about 5,000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers participating. By the end of the day, the Allies have landed on five invasion beaches and are pushing inland.
On Friday, Mr. Trump paid a visit to Wisconsin’s struggling farmers, but his mind was elsewhere:
He promised a quick end to the war in Iran. He held up photographs of various Washington improvement projects, including the “reflecting pond.” He complimented the physiques of male athletes. He listened as people praised him.
At an event held at a rural farm in Wisconsin on Friday, President Trump treated his supporters to a rhetorical lineup very similar to most of his recent Oval Office appearances, and reminded them that he could be doing something else.
“I don’t need this, I got elected, what the hell do I have to be here for?” Mr. Trump said to a crowd of people who had braved a rainy day to hear him speak. “I’m doing this because I like the farmer,” he said, adding: “I could be home right now in the beautiful White House, enjoying watching somebody else on television talking.”
