  1. I saw Trump answering questions about the stunt (I believe it was last night). He’s now made it to: “And if it is, that’s not my fault.”

    He had the whole ass audacity to suggest that the Biden Harris administration had called Arlington to change the rules in order to *set him up*. This fucker needs to go.

  2. A snapshot at a grave? The same thing Biden did years ago?

    You all are so desperate to make people forget that Trump showed up the anniversary service for the 13 killed in Afghanistan, due to Biden and Harris’s horrible withdrawal, while Biden was at the beach and Harris was doing nothing.

  3. Forgetting the fact that this thug and felon committed yet another crime, what kind of person stands next to anyone’s tombstone and takes a thumbs up picture? 

    I guess maybe if you hated the person buried there, and possibly if you were the one who killed them, which in this case for Trump is actually true, but he is denying it. I think it’s just more proof that the GOP is super weird.

    As he blames a family member of a fallen hero for posting video to the public when it’s clearly from his campaign.

    You think military members would have backed away when he went after McCain but here we are.

    The family who posed with him in that picture is really weird to me…like who thinks let’s go take a picture with our young dead relative and their grave marker while we all smile and the ex president gives a thumbs up ?..??

    This thug’s mere presence in a military cemetery is a desecration, given his “suckers” and “losers” comments in the past. I can’t believe that any member of the military – former or currently-serving – would vote for this asshole. His disrespect is disgusting.

  7. The fact that Trump didn’t whip out a sharpie and start signing tombstones shows a lot of restraint on his part.

    My major take away is even if it was a miscommunication, why did the staff push the employee and then smear their character in the media afterwards? These actions are not becoming of a president or their campaign staff.

    The GOP is successfully turning this into a debate about rules , trying to move the conversation away from how they treated the employee doing their job.

  9. He may have broke some written rules. I’m more concerned about the unwritten rule of taking a picture smiling at anyone’s grave. Absolutely brainless.

  10. I’ve long felt bad for this family. They were trying to honor their son and got thrust into politics and insulted by Trump over and over again, being forced to relive their horror continuously because of one man’s incessant need to denigrate others.

    He’ll still vote for him tho. And since the Army dropped the case as if it were no big deal, so will all the other family members of our service men that are buried there. maga=cult!
    You guys aren’t seeing the big picture here. truMP has to look like he is above all, including the armed forces.
