President Donald Trump on Sunday declared that the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle run in Washington during Memorial Day weekend ― slated to end after this year ― will continue after all in the nation’s capital, but the event’s founder and executive director apparently didn’t get the memo.

Retired Army Sgt. Artie Muller, who has overseen the gathering of cyclists that aims to raise awareness about veterans and veteran-related issues, reacted with bewilderment upon learning of the pronouncement on Twiter by Trump, who is in Japan.

Muller has been saying that this Sunday’s ride that begins at the Pentagon and ends at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial would be the last such gathering because of escalating costs. He also has complained about a lack of cooperation from officials in planning the ride, which began in 1988 and grew to become a major spectacle.

“We feel we can spend our money more wisely by helping more vets and our troops and their families than spending it” in Washington, he said in a C-Span interview. “The increase in everything every year is entirely too much.”

He also has said that in 2020, the group’s chapters would focus on commemorations in their own states.
