No it wasn't.

That was what was embarrassing.
So the American President who attended the commemorative ceremonies to honour the tens of thousands of Americans who died in WW2 was wrong to attend and it was right for the protesters to distract from the proceedings. Really? The country should have been respectful of the office and not necessarily the man.

Not only that we find that Corbyn who spent days snubbing the President actually asked for a meeting with Trump and was rejected. Now that was not only embarrassing it was both cringeworthy and hypocritical.
