WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.

 

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Grinning idiot.

 

He doesn't have a clue about respect for our veterans and would be bewildered by the pushback against this disgrace.

 

Most of the Trumpers here are foreigners, so they neither care or understand the outrage

 

US veterans who support Trump have to be deep down the rabbit hole to not be outraged by this stunt at a military cemetery.

I have stopped wondering how Vance reconciles his military service with his allegiance to someone who said dead soldiers were suckers and losers.

He is a hypocrite, portraying himself as some kind of moral guardian, while ambition overwhelms any principles he may have once had.

I am not surprised at Trump at all. Nothing is too low for him.

Your post is a classic self-own.

[Jingthing]

There is nothing that he does that should shock or surprise anyone. 

As both of my parent's remains are there at Arlington I have personal experience of the the high standards of ethics and public service of the workers there.

The scum bucket that is Trump has no respect or concern for anyone or anything other than himself. He's insane but it's even more insane that he might be president again.

Neither does Joe Asthma. I guess that is why he hid at his beach house and did not bother to attend the ceremony.

Did Joe fake a medical certificate to get an exemption, (please dont start the "where's the link/proof..even though the doctor admitted he faked the certificate) ?
Trump was invited to the wreath laying ceremony, (a private affair),Biden wasn't. Trump saw it as a photo op and political campaign advert only.
Has Biden ever not attended a military ceremony when required, unlike Trump who wouldn't go because it was raining, or because the cemetery was full of losers ?
And then he poses for a thumbs up photograph in front of the grave of a marine. Its ok for the family member to pose like this, but Trump ???????

Trump and Biden both took advantage of student deferments (four and five respectively), then when they ran out a medical deferment.  

 

Biden DOES attend ceremonies, when it is convenient. But he does seem to get bored easily, as his watch checking scandal showed. And also 'forgets' the fallen.  Trump attended the ceremony at the request of the families of the deceased. Ask yourself why Biden and/or Harris were not invited.

You fell into a classic troll trap.

 

This topic is about Trump disrespecting veterans, which may cost him the election.

 

Since you can't defend Trump, you are trying to make noise about me, but I'm not running for president.

 

You are missing the point, which is that Trump doesn't respect veterans.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox accompanied Trump to Arlington National Cemetary and then used a photo in a campaign email.

 

 

Utah Gov. Cox faces scrutiny for using military cemetery photo with Trump in campaign email

 

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox came under criticism Wednesday for sending a campaign email that featured a photo of him and former President Donald Trump at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony.

 

Federal law prohibits campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, and that rule was widely shared before the Monday ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery said Wednesday.

 

Cox’s campaign apologized for using the photo and for politicizing the graveside ceremony, which honored Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover of Utah, one of 13 service members killed in an airport bombing during the Afghanistan War withdrawal three years ago. The email was soliciting donations for Cox’s reelection bid.

AFAIK, only three of thirteen families "invited" Trump to the three-year anniversary.

 

Trump grinning and giving a thumbs-up is a questionable look.

 

 

Trump negotiated the Afghanistan departure, with the Taliban. He also released 5,000 Taliban prisoners.

 

Had Biden not continued it I'm sure many many more than Thirteen would have been lost in the subsequent three years.

and seemingly neither do you, well, the ones that support Trump that is.

 

classic troll trap, yeah right, you're so desperate to slag Trump and anyone that supports him, without realising you shot yourself in the foot.

He has no respect for human decency full stop. As if giving a sh.t-eating grin and thumbs up over the grave of a dead soldier wasn’t bad enough, Trump’s team verbally abused and pushed a member of staff at Arlington Cemetery who pointed out that photographs and political activities are not permitted.
