Fulfill a life-long dream to march in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, but get upstaged by the booing directed at the Vice President...

Maybe Drumpf wouldn't go all the way to Italy because he didn't want the risk of customs inspection of whatever IV bags of pharmaceuticals are (barely) keeping him alive. 'Cause he must have known that his reception at the Superb Owl would be about as warm as Pope Killer's was in Italy.
