Trump: "Is that like, the real one or a copy?"

Classless, tacky clown to his bone.

I remember that and it is emblematic of what a shallow POS the convicted felon is.


Well said.

Photography is permitted within the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Photographers who are members of news organizations need to make arrangements for a media escort by contacting the ANC Public Affairs Office at 703-614-0024.

We ask media and cemetery visitors to respect the solemnity of Arlington National Cemetery by refraining from taking pictures of or filming someone who is visibly mourning. Please ask for permission to film or photograph those visiting a gravesite.”



You left out that photography for campaign purposes is not permitted.

The family all following his lead on a thumbs up in front a grave is one of the saddest, weirdest things I’ve seen. He’s such a deplorable person.

Yep. Trump wouldn't have even had to visit those graves if Biden wasn't such a fool.

Trump used his last few months in office to set Biden up for failure.

To set Biden up for failure and in general to screw over the US.

The Abbey Gate Families and Survivors invited Trump to lay a wreath in remembrance of the day and the Fallen. The Families invited Trump and wanted him present.

It was fine for him to be present but photos and videos were not allowed. But Trump would never do anything like that if it wasn’t recorded to benefit him in some way. And then Trump’s team assaulted the Department of the Army employee who asked them to stop breaking federal law. 32 CFR § 553.32(c) holds that memorial services and ceremonies at Army National Military Cemeteries will not include partisan political activities.


Trump was the invited guest of Marine Families who have dead children buried in Arlington. When your child is blown up and killed in Afghanistan, and buried in Arlington, you can invite whomever you want lay a wreath at their grave. If you want a picture with them, you can take a picture. You are allowed that as your child is gone forever and died violently in Service to America.

The video of Trump laying the wreath with the disabled female Marine vet was livestreamed.



It's still bizarre. And my kids are Army and Navy.

Arlington is Arlington. You don't make a show in that space.

What happened with those Marines is awful, but it's wrong to invite a profoundly anti-military game show host and politician like Donald Trump to do his show in that cemetery.

And then show up in shorts and backward baseball caps.

The disrespect these Trumper families are doing to Arlington is appalling.



Apologies. I only now noticed that the man in shorts and a baseball hat is missing an arm and a leg. I didn't notice that at first. I meant no disrespect.

But I still think it's profoundly disrespectful to film an ad with a game show host in Arlington National Cemetery.

Politicians should never be allowed to use that as their backdrop. Those Marine families are being used and it's pathetic and sad.

A lot more than 13 Americans died in Afghanistan. Wish you'd spend a little more time remembering them also. Maybe make it a little less obvious you don't actually give a darn?

65 American service members died in combat while serving Trump during his time in the White House office from January 2017 to January 2021.

“Abbey Gate Gold Star Families Endorse President Trump and Invite Him To Wreath Laying Ceremony.”



Those families grossly disrespected all the other families and dead buried there. They had no right to invite him or his press in, and undoubtedly did so based on their own partisan support for him. Disgusting. Trump is what he is, but they of all people should have had more respect for the dead and grieving in that place.


Wait, you think your politics get to decide who steps foot in ANC?

Bless your heart.


No. Any one can bog. We just think people who set foot in ANC shouldn’t use it as a backdrop for political ads, rough up civil servants who work there and ask them to please obey the law, and then break the law— knowing full well that is what they were doing.

Federal 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 candidate’s campaign,” the statement said, adding that “a report was filed” over the incident.

The rumor that the staff member they assaulted was a woman is confirmed.

Let me guess. Biden also forced his handler to assault and employee and break the law by filming a political commercial there too? I your worldview, has Trump ever done anything wrong for which he should take responsibility?
