Post 34 has a link to the Military Times article where it states that he was told that because of the weather, a helicopter ride wasn't suggested, but, if he wanted, they would drive him to the service. Trump declined and didn't attend. When asked about it later, he said it was because the helo couldn't fly there, but he left out the part where he could have taken a motorcade to the service.
Trump also reiterated the White House explanation of why he didn’t visit the cemetery. “The helicopter could not fly,” he said, because of the rain and fog. “The Secret Service told me you can’t do it. ... They would never have been able to get the police and everybody else in line to have a president go through a very crowded, very congested area.”
