If anyone else gave a grinning thumbs up on the grave of a soldier KIA you’d have a literal heart attack but you’re literally blind to it here.

And Trump’s the President that surrendered to the Taliban in the first place, leading to this impossible situation.

You can try to blame someone other than Biden and Harris for the disastrous withdrawal but we all know they are the ones who planned and executed the debacle.

Trump killed like 5-6 times more US military Vs Biden in Afghanistan. If Biden’s withdrawal was a disaster Trump’s Afghanistan was a catastrophe unless you think like you do- anyone in the military is a loser.

Try to stay on subject. Trump desecrated American service members graves at Arlington and you support that. That is your fault. You are to blame.

This gets even worse for Trump. Apparently Speaker Mike Johnson intervened when Trump was told he couldn't get in for a political appearance. So he knew and had been told that campaigning was not legal at ANC and did what he always - stamped his feet and did it anyway.

Trump is the one who negotiated with the Taliban, ignored the existing Afghan government, made promises to the terrorists and announced a deadline for withdrawal 4 months into his successors term, but neglected to make any plans for said withdrawal. So, he left them holding the bag. Biden and Harris were not involved in the lack of planning for the withdrawal until after the elections in November, so they had 2 months to plan a response when they did not have full access to resources required to plan such a response before they were thrown in the mix.

If Trump had bothered to start planning when he made the agreements, the withdrawal would have been more successful. How would you like to start a new job and have a major deadline four months after you started and to find out that your predecessor made promises of what you would deliver, but did not do any work or planning before you started, saying that it was your problem and responsibilty to deliver what he promised?

MAGA doesn’t work.
They either just collect their disability checks funded by blue states or they are part of the oligarchy that lives off of taxpayer subsidies in the form of “tax cuts”.

Family of soldier buried next to where Trump made his campaign appearance voices their objections to his gravestone being visible in the camapaign photographs and campaign video.

Trump needs to take them down NOW.

The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.

Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano issued their statement two days after Mr. Trump’s visit, which also included a confrontation between members of the Trump campaign and an Arlington employee. The former president’s campaign took video in a heavily restricted section of the cemetery known as Section 60, which is largely reserved for the fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Sergeant Marckesano died on July 7, 2020, after moving to Washington to begin a job at the Pentagon. He had three children, and friends said he had chronic post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in combat. He earned Silver and Bronze Stars during his service. His gravesite is adjacent to that of Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover, a Marine who was killed in the 2021 bombing at Abbey Gate outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.

The Hoover family granted permission to the Trump team to film and take photographs at the gravesite; the Marckesano family did not, and filming and photographing at the gravesite for political purposes is a violation of federal law, according to cemetery officials. Yet Sergeant Marckesano’s grave was shown in photos from the visit that were published online. A video was posted to Mr. Trump’s TikTok account featuring footage from the Section 60 visit and the gravestones from behind, with narration criticizing the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

In a statement from Sergeant Marckesano’s relatives after being contacted by The New York Times, his sister, Michele, said, “We fully support Staff Sergeant Darin Hoover’s family and the other families in their quest for answers and accountability regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tragedy at Abbey Gate.”

“However,” she added, “according to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to Staff Sergeant Hoover’s gravesite in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave.”

Sergeant Marckesano’s sister continued, “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.”

There you are. Whether or not Trump slimes his way out of the politics allegation, photographing or filming OTHER graves than the ones you're there for is a violation of the military cemetery rules.

Yep. Do they even hear themselves? “Why is is she afraid of retaliation? She’s mentally ill” like zero pause for them in between accusing her of being dishonest and irrationally fearing retaliation and immediately retaliating by making public accusations about her mental health. Trump and everyone of his A hole cronies are abusers. Abusers. F these guys.

The sooner that Trump is out of politics for good, the better off our country will be. Every time you think he can't sink lower, he finds a way.

And the completely emasculated GOP helps him do it. “We’re not all MAGA,” they cry, stamping their little feet. “Don’t call us weird, either!”
