Disgraceful draft dodger!
…all the while violating U.S. laws regarding the use of Arlington National Cemetery for political purposes, and assaulting it's staff when they objected. Another fine move by the tangerine toddler.
All perfomative campaign bullshit from Trump. He doesn't care about fallen veterans. He called them suckers and losers.
Trump turning Arlington National Cemetery into a partisan political event is a disgrace. His staffers actually broke federal law by filming this event and there is significant question why Trump was even allowed to participate. Trump’s presence is a desecration because, as we all know, he hates loser veterans who were captured by the enemy or died for their country. Poor Donnie and his bone spurs.
Trump was there just for advertisement and he loves it! He has no remorse for anyone living or dead. Sickening act, what a hiprocrite when he didn't respect injured veterans! Vote for HARRIS/WALZ who's genuine for humanity even for dogs and cats. 🗳🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙
Look at all those red ties, but its not political. The families just happened to invite Trump because that is what people do when they visit cemetaries. How bout we invite Donald Trump. Certainly he is not busy running for president. Trumps staff is calling the Arlington cemetery staff that tried to stop the filming acting crazy. Talk about lame excuses. The federal law banning the use of Arlington for political purposes? Jst happens that the deranged person was rght. So rght that she or he filed an incident report including eye witnesses. Apparently none of these red ties had any idea that using dead soldiers for political gain was wrong. Or course the 65 soldiers that died under Trumps command were not worth any wreaths.
Trump just sinks lower and lower, and lower, taking America along with him.
not going to mention that while doing this dishonour damage control pageantry his team, once again, dishonoured the place and assaulted the staff….
Shameless. No Low too low!
So now the Benedict Donald is allowed to desecrate our fallen soldier's memory??? What a surprise in violation of the law. #LockUpXTraitorInChief
Leave this poor charlatan alone once and for all. All he wanted to do was just set up a kiosk in the parking lot to hawk his Bibles and sneakers.
Trump was seen taking a leak in an urn that contained the remains of wilted flowers that he collected to resell. Nothing else. This charlatan is innocent!
Did they have a video about the altercation between Trump's staff and Defense Dept. officials regarding the prohibition of filming/taking photographs for campaign events?
Trump was Disrespectful. As reported by NPR, Former President Donald Trump's campaign staff got into an "altercation" with cemetery staff over filming at the burial site for military members. Federal law prohibits political campaign activity on the grounds of military cemeteries.
Maybe Trump should swing by the people that died January 6th due to his attempt to overturn the election ??
Arlington National Cemetery isn't a place for campaign photo-ops. It's a sacred resting place for American patriots.But for Donald Trump, disrespecting military veterans is just par for the course. It's an absolute disgrace.
Trump tried to turn this into an event about him as usual.
And all the news people filming him and playing this video are giving him a free ad campaign
Such bs He wasn’t there to honor them It is a political ad He didn’t even go there while president every year on Memorial Day or Veterans Day He’s just trying to make people forget all the horrible comments he’s made about veterans and those who died for our country
god bless these families and forgive trump of his indiscretions and disrespect of their loved ones. this raises a question that i have had for some time now. trump said that he could shoot a person on 5th and not lose votes. what if trump went to congress and started shooting officials and when he turned his gun on Boebert, (who is always armed) she shot back. is trump security suppose to shoot her and protect him? where do their loyalties to their charge end? should they have assisted the Arlington staff in upholding the law and respect for fallen soldiers or are the to assist the man in breaking a federal law? his security team was there, does that make them co-conspirators to his crimes?
Maga supporters are drinking the Jim Jones kool-aid!
Trump has blood on his hands for the Jan 6 insurrection. NINE Americans died (Your fellow citizens) FOUR capitol police officers committed suicide. Total despicable human behavior on that day. Did the nation fall HELL NO it did not. Trump should have honored ALL the AMERICANS who lost their lives on JAN 6th.
Afghanistan withdrawal FACTS
* Trump NOT Biden – negotiated directly with the Taliban terrorists and excluded the Afghan army
* Trump NOT Biden – Drew forces down from 13,000 to 2500, making them vulnerable to attack.
* Trump NOT Biden – ordered the release of 5000 Taliban fighters from prison, one of who would become the new leader of Afghanistan.
* Trump NOT Biden – wanted to invite the Taliban leaders to Camp David on the anniversary of September 11.
* Trump NOT Biden – agreed to a May 1 exit from Afghanistan, then bragged he didn’t need an exit strategy.
* Trump NOT Biden – refused to brief Biden’s incoming administration on the Afghanistan situation.
* Trump NOT Biden – shut down every airbase in Afghanistan, except for one, crippling. The US is ability to extract forces/assets safely.
Trump desecrating fallen soldiers is the least surprising news.
Where’s Melania. Oh she didn’t think it was important enough to show up.
trump can’t even keep step
Timestamp 13:20: Heartening seeing that guard not salute as he passed trump.
As a veteran I am feeling physically revulsed watching trump standing there.
Shame on these families for inviting Trump to this event and creating a political event out of a solemn ceremony .
Trump embarrasses service members
His people fought staffers who enforced the no photography rule. This was all a photo op to clean up his recent disrespect of medal of honor winners.
Traitor
The unlawful desecration of a military burial site? Way to go, Trump. This man has no shame.
Photoshootings are strictly forbidden!!! Why doesn't he visit the grave of his own ex-wife?? I would not be overly surprised if that the reviled souls visit him at night and drive the smile off his face once and for all!
The people burried there did not HAVE bone spurs.
Since Sky News and FOX don't mention it, look this up:
"Donald Trump faced criticism after giving the thumbs up and smiling while posing for photos at the graves of soldiers killed during the 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan at Arlington National Cemetery."
I would not be surprised if Trump took those flowers off of someone else's grave.
As a Republican and MAGA through and through i dont get why he is paying respect to these "losers" as he calls them
Are these the solders that Trump called loosers?
