Dana Milbank: Donald Trump knows the true meaning of sacrifice

— Canadian soldier John McCrae, remembering the sacrifice of fellow World War I troops.

— President Trump, noting his own sacrifice during World War I centennial observance Sunday.

We think of the bayonet charge of Maine's 20th Regiment on Little Round Top, the young men battling through rain and poison gas in the Argonne, the soldiers in the frozen Ardennes Forest in the Battle of the Bulge.

And we think of President Trump, battling rain for not one but two days in France this weekend.

Other presidents had made sacrifices. George Washington camped with his frozen troops in Valley Forge.
