Why do you keep posting the photo like this was a normal tribute?? God, MSM is horrid.
Propaganda
Euna Road
Not news
Allegedly it is. Ck the post by the families who invited him there. This is just more dem lies & spin.
CONFIRMED: PBS and ABC Lie
Funny. Forbes is talking about this as a tragic incident that happend there. The familys INVITED HIM AND THERE WAS ZERO "PHYSICAL ALTERCATIONS "
and conveniently have their chat turned off. Fake news and sensorship. Thats all the Dems and the liberal news media know how to push. Propaganda. I bet my comment will be taken down too. When do the LIES stop??
Gold Star families say no such altercation even occurred. SHAME ON FAKE NEWS. Enough Already – Just Vote Trump.
Typical Drumpf. Wherever that felon goes he acts like a violent psycho.
The families of the thirteen that were murdered on August 26th BECAUSE OF BIDEN AND HARRIS ask President Trump to be there. He did not just show up out of the blue like these DECEITFUL media organizations (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC) are telling you. Want PROOF? Just ask the FAMILIES!
Trump couldn't care less about you or America. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. That's Trump
Trump has been, Impeached Indicted, Convicted.
He also had two sets of books about his properties, Assaulted E. Jean Carol, Used a charity for fraudulent purposes, Set up a bogus school, that was proved to be a fraud, Had his CFO Jailed, Had his lawyers disbarred, Had Advisors were the dirtiest in history.
Had Four kids with three wives, but who's counting?
Thats Trump.
Someone needs to sue hims and his campaign โ for the peopleโ since the victim decided thatโs she didnโt wish to do so. Most likely for fear of Trumps followers finding her.
Trump claims he has tapes so why not show it to prove they were in the right? Answer: he's lying of course.
Nice try diddy ๐คฃ
Arlington National Cemetery said in a statement this week that โfederal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidateโs campaign.โ
In his letter, Raskin wrote that โit appears that the Trump campaign refused to abide by Arlington National Cemeteryโs absolute prohibition,โ and cited Arlingtonโs guidelines prohibiting โfilming for partisan, political, or fundraising purposesโ under the Hatch Act.
Defense officials previously told CBS News that some staff with the Trump campaign were unprofessional and were aggressive both verbally and physically toward the cemetery official.
โANC conducts nearly 3,000 such public ceremonies a year without incident,โ the Army spokesperson said in the statement. โParticipants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent Section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws, Army regulations and DoD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds.โ
The Trump campaign, meanwhile, has insisted that it was given express permission by Gold Star families to bring โcampaign designated media.โ Messages reviewed by CBS News verified this claim.
sorry but The Gold Star family has NO legal stand to override Federal Regulations, Army Laws & DOD Regulations. EOS
If thatโs the worst you fake journalists can dig up I think we are in great shape! What a joke.
This is what REALLY happened at the event https://youtu.be/fHPTkCgkSjU?si=XMkSE4QEcNjHZdV7
Where did they get the prop in the wheelchair from? Donโt they know Trump hates disabled people especially the ones who are full of bullet holes!
Focus! Elephant in the room: where is the president/vice president RESPONSIBLE for this ceremony?! Checking his watch?
AND YET No ones offended that our โPresidentโ didnโt even show up. And itโs his operation these service members died on. The least he could do. ๐ต๐คก๐ต๐คก๐ต๐คก๐ต๐คก
We all know Donald Trump is just a show like a break-in at the cemetery crasher why he should not be exploring our military like that you know you donโt like them, so why heโs making believe we all know? Especially democrats like me Latina, Puerto Rico, America we are quiet, you donโt need a Stage to show our self you see we will act when isโs need it AND WE PUT OUR HEART IN ITโd WHEN ISโs NEED ITโs Thatโd โ Trump he โa clown only! you should see yourself in the mirror, real good Letโs that happens one day in your life Donald Duck
Some of you bots are becoming too obvious, with your coherent messaging and lack of misspelling.
WTF was Trump & Co. doing there anyway? He never went while pretending to be the Commander in Chief.
Nothing to look at here, no information no proof, typical!!
No bias here hahaha.๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
This is a photo op for Trump's election campaign, Trump does not have any respect for Veterans, he said that POW are suckers and losers. Trump says presidential civilian award is 'better' than top military honor. Trump is a five times draft dodger coward of Vietnam war.
Cemetery officials "told Trump's team that he could come in his personal capacity and bring personal aides, but not campaign staff," the Washington Post reports.
The cemetery employee "tried to enforce the rules as provided to her by blocking Trump's team from bringing cameras to the graves of U.S. service members killed in recent years," the Post adds. "A larger male campaign aide insisted the camera was allowed and pushed past the cemetery employee, leaving her shocked."
The cemetery worker who confronted Trump aides won't press charges because she fears pursuing the matter could subject her to retaliation from Trump supporters, the N.Y. Times reports.
Trump cannot even conceive what hollowed ground is. He can't contemplate the type of mind that would sacrifice themselves for something greater. He is a complete and pure narcissist.
Itโs against federal law to take pictures at the graves of soldiers for campaign photo op. This event could have been without cameras, respectfully. Then to post the pics for a campaign fundraiser? Disrespectful. Not fundraiser for the family pocket but to fund DT to get into office. Again, he has no respect for the death of the soldier whose remains are protected by federal law, he has admitted his dislike of the military and used the family to his advantage. His reasoning of โbecause I canโ would ruin us now and the future of our kids and grandchildren if he were to get back in office.
If Trump's visit brought comfort to families of heroes, where is the harm in that?
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED… WEIRD DON BEHAVED LIKE WEIRD DON. it was criminal lol. people are NOT allowed to take photos of veterans graves. uno how T gets when he doesnt get his way. major tantrums, no pun intended. T was there alone because he's the only incredibly insensitive poser looking for a photo op in THE WRONG PLACE.
Trump is merely using wounded veterans as props. If they only knew how much he despises them for not being "whole."
looks like TRUMP never stopped sucking on Putin's wing wang ………….
No normal person would campaign at a military cemetery, but an abnormal person surely would.
Why are you referring to them as veterans? Trump calls the โLosers and Suckers!โ Why then is he there?
Allegedly…haha… you guys really suck as a an alleged news organization.
I see that Bush, Clinton, Obama and Biden had no incidents. Oh that's right THEY WEREN'T THERE.
NPR are national public retarded they are
Trump only cares about himself, dom't be fooled.
ABC News is garbage ๐๏ธ
I wish they would dissect everything biden and harris does like they do to him.
This is the media trying to create a story to tell the American people 60+ days before election to make former president Trump look bad. Former President Trump has been at Arlington National Cemetery before and below are two links of those visits. https://youtu.be/_QUEwObOaVU?si=TLUlsKYnoDTcEZRk
