I believe that it was communicated within minutes of the decision but the hostile press portrays it differently.

What unmitigated BS. The President is the Commander-In-Chief and if he really want to attend, he could have overridden any arguments to the contrary. This is just the latest of several lame excuses Trump and his minions have rolled out to save his political ass. Even members of previous Presidential staff tasked with POTUS outdoor appearance have stated they always, always, had rain option factored in to the pre-planning for POTUS appearances; that Trump and his staff did not, only points, again, to the scatterbrained nature of their brand of misgovernment and mismanagement. What was Trump's real fear? That he might get wet and start dissolving into the ground while crying out "I'm Melting!! I'm melting!! ... Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world..."... You know, they just don't make Presidents like they used to: When it rained on the day of the above ceremony, Truman's staff and the military brass tried to talk him into either taking the ceremony indoors, where only a few of the unit members, as representatives of the whole, would receive/witness the awarding, or for Truman to not attend and just allow one of the ranking military brass make the award on Truman's behalf. Truman immediately nixed the ideas; he told his subordinates that if brave men such as the 442nd, with their history of service could march and stand in the rain, the least he could do for them was to do likewise; he also told them that the whole of the unit deserved to be present and witness their achievement, not just a few in an indoor setting... <O>

I don't think anyone is comparing Trump to Truman.

Trump probably would...
...but only to point out how much, much "better" he is... Here's a picture of Trump, Merkle and Maron; note the somber faces: Now here's a picture of the same as Putin arrives: Note who of the three is happy to see "Dady's Home!"... So, what is it? Is Trump anticipating a special Xmas bonus from the Boss... ...or is he going to hit up Putin for political asylum?... Poor little Donnie, all on his own... <O>

Trump is more like a Teddy Roosevelt than a Harry Truman.

The man read many books. He wrote many books. There was no one like him. It’s well known among historians that our venerated 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt, was probably the most well-read president, and perhaps one of the most well-read men in all of history. He would read a book before breakfast every day, and depending on his schedule, another two or three in the evening (he was a speed reader extraordinaire). By his own estimates he read tens of thousands of books over the course of his lifetime.
