[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The picture of Trump smiling with his thumb up standing behind gravestones is perfectly on brand. He is so clueless about basic rights and wrongs. I don’t know how any veteran or active service person can support him given his on going insults such as his recent Medal of Honor diss. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
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. [/quote]

Sounds on brand. The law doesn't apply to Trump, and MAGA always makes excuses for him anyway. You support a really bad guy. He wasn't there for the family. He was there for himself.[/quote]

+1. If he had been there for the family and not the campaign, he would have taken any private photos the family requested (legal) and not made sure to shoot a campaign ad (illegal). This is the part of the cemetery where the are active funeral taking place. The disrespect for everyone else who has also recently lost a family member and wants the privacy to which they are legally entitled is disgusting.

Maybe there were people there or fresh graves of the recently deceased who didn’t want to be in a Trump campaign ad.  Why can he not respect their wishes. And, you know the law.

Visit, participate in a memorial, take photos for personal use. But, don’t  engage in partisan politics on Section 60 of Arlington. Clear, simple law.  Rather than obeying the law, Trump had his goons physically assault the people working at Arlington who asked him to obey the law. Disgusting. [/quote]
