  1. JFC. It’s one blunder after another with him, and yet it’s STILL probably gonna be way too close to a tie come November. Where is the line?! Is there even a line anymore?! Are all his followers insane?! He just denigrated vets like a week ago with his asinine medal of honor comments, what more do we need?! If Biden did anything even CLOSE to the shit Trump has done (& continues to do) these same people would have an absolute conniption.

    Let’s be clear. SOME veterans took issue with this incident. Veterans who support him think this is just so much liberal handwringing bullshit designed to smear him. That’s the problem. This doesn’t move the needle an inch. His supporters love him, not America.

  3. A fallen hero‘s grave (known to Trump as a loser and a sucker) should not be the place to take a photo op for political gain unless your actually mourning them which obviously isn’t true for him because Trump isn’t capable of being remorsefu.

  4. I’m not a veteran. I’m not affiliated with the military in any capacity. I am a common-ass civilian. This still pisses me off. One thing that should be a career-ending offense for a presidential candidate is to disrespect sacred institutions, and Arlington National Cemetery is one of the most sacred of all.

  5. Oh now they are horrified by Trump’s behavior? Have they not been paying attention it has been obvious since 2016 how he feels about soldiers and veterans. Called them suckers and losers, made fun of a Gold Star family, just an abominable attitude for someone who was and wants to be again the Commander in Chief.

  6. The double standard will live on. This would be a major scandal for any other politician but Trump is worshipped like a holy man and can do no wrong as far as his followers are concerned.

  7. Trump hates anyone who served in the military. He can’t understand why someone would do so. He also tried to shred the Constitution and overturn the United States Government.

    Yet, there are service members, who have pledged to uphold the Constitution, who will vote for someone who will discard it. I guess they consider their loyalty to Trump mor important than their loyalty their oath or the Constitution.

  8. For any undecided veterans, I hope this paints an ubundantly clear picture of just how absolutely vile and disrespectful this ‘person’ is.

    Everyone should be horrified. This is not a veterans thing, this is an American thing. Every one of us should be horrified. Right after his fucking thumbs up at the Marines’ grave. This motherfucker…

    Fine, I’ll say it.
    Fuck those family members.. how dare you abuse your lost bloodline that way. For them to sacrifice everything, to be honored to be layed and praised in our most sacred burial ground.

    So some orange fk can thumbs up at your grave.

  11. I am a veteran and was out after his McCain comments. The man is a chickenhawk and has no right to comment on anyone who served honorably.

    I don’t really understand why anyone backs Trump. I am also a veteran and I continue to work closely with both veterans and active-duty and I super super duper don’t understand the backing of Trump. That man, not Biden, set up the disastrous conditions for our Afghanistan withdrawal, which cost service member lives.

    He has absolute contempt for anyone he has served in the military- seeing them as losers and chumps. He isn’t going to do a single thing to make life better for anyone in the military.

  13. just got off the phone with my uncle who’s a vet and went on a twenty minute rant about this. He’s convincing his buddies to vote for Harris

    I’m a vet and I’m going to say this as loud as I can because theirs people serving and retired that support this asshole.

    If you do that you are not my brother and I consider you a enemy of the American people.
