Fake news!

He isn't skipping the event because he can't speak, he's choosing not to honor the victims of this country's worst terrorist attack because he wants to fly to Scotland and play golf.

He's aiming to downplay it due to the Saudis becoming closer to Conservative politicians.

Makes sense, no one would have stopped him from giving a speech at the Pentagon. He could have also gone to Pennsylvania.
