Trump does not respect anything. He did not respect his wife when he was shagging Stormy Daniels. He disrespects golf, by cheating. He has no respect for the Constitution. He has no respect for women.

 

Trump enjoys giving the finger to honorable traditions, because he knows it plays well with his low-life base.

Not at all. I'd like to see Trump in the dustbin of history, so America could get back to rational.

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.

1. I am aware of the student deferments, but that wasn't my question.
You felt you had to respond to a nickname given to Trump, by saying something equally derisive about Biden.
My question to you is:  Did Biden supply a false medical report to escape the draft, or was his asthma condition legitimate ?  A simple yes or no answer.
 

2. Biden DOES attend ceremonies, when it is convenient.
What does that even mean ? Please provide me with ANY major military ceremonies that Biden skipped because it wasn't deemed as "convenient".
Like many of his predecessors, both President and VP, both Democrat and Republican, Biden loves his country, is a true patriot and has a great sense of duty and recognises the responsibilities that his position entails, (Trump is by far the exception to this list). He would not voluntarily miss any ceremony that pays tribute to the fallen.

3. He seems to get bored easy, (supposition m'lord) !
He's 81  !!
Sure his mind wanders, or he becomes forgetful or god forbid, he looks at his watch, but he is still able to perform his current role, especially with the advisors that he has around him. Plus he will be gone soon, so don't worry. Start to focus more of your angst against Harris.

 

4. Biden wasn't invited.
Not sure why this is even relevant to Trumps photo op at Arlington, but I know what you are trying to segue to.
There is no doubt that the families of these men feel that Biden, or the Democrats, are either partly or fully responsible for the deaths of their loved ones. It's tragic and I get it.
But Trump can, or should, also shoulder some of the blame for what happened as he was the one who pressured 
the Afghan's to release over 5.000 Taliban prisoners who then took part in the overthrow of the 
the existing Afghan government which, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster described as "we threw the Afghans under the bus on the way out". However, this topic is not relevant to the current posting and I only include this as a rebuttal to what you have submitted.

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. 

When he has no genuine response to a post, he simply insults the poster.

 

Just ignore him, He is like one of those annoying little flies that hang around.

 

 

 

‘She can go to hell’: Vance blasts Harris over Afghanistan withdrawal in harshest rhetoric yet
The Republican vice presidential nominee's remark was in response to a question about an “incident” that occurred when Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery this week.

Vance's comment at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, was his harshest language yet toward Harris on the campaign trail. It came in response to a reporter’s question about an "incident" Monday when former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery with family members of service members who were killed during the 2021 attack at Abbey Gate at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, in the final days of the withdrawal.

Vance has as much credibility as Benedict Arnold. Someone who once compared Trump to Hitler, now his VP.

IMO he will cost Trump dearly with the women voters, and his go to hell comment just put more cement in Trump's gold sneakers.

That is because Harris was part of the decision making process that led to the disaster. She has always boasted about being 'the last person in the room' when Biden makes decisions. So she can wear this one too.  The basic idiocy of the timing and procedure of the situation rests on the Biden/Harris Administration. 

 

It is a classic media technique these days. The Republican reaction to a Democratic failure gets more attention than the actual failure.

Is there video evidence of that?

(per Washington Post)

Vance accused Harris of criticizing Trump’s visit to the cemetery, saying: “And she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up? She can — she can go to hell.”

Trumps major propagandist Steven Cheung stated that, if need be, they would release their video footage that

supports their version. However, when asked to supply this footage, Cheung did not respond.

Go figure.

From a different WashPo article:

 

(Vance) then falsely accused Harris of criticizing Trump’s visit to the cemetery, which she hasn’t commented on. A Harris campaign spokesman called it “pretty sad.”

Harris campaign is very sad indeed. Finally an interview, a joint one. 60yos holding hands. Very sad.

Sgt. Hoover's grave is next to that of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano, who died by suicide after six tours in Afghanistan in 2020.

His sister, Michele Marckesano, issued a statement Wednesday on behalf of her family to CBS, the BBC's news partner, saying they fully support the Hoover family.

However, she said that according to a "conversation with Arlington National Cemetery", Trump campaign staffers "did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit".

She urged visitors to remember those buried there "real people" who should be "honored and respected".

Thanks. I saw the photo in the OP and it looked more like a grocery store opening than a cemetery memorial service.

Looked more like a cheap photo op on the election campaign standing on the graves of the dead. Highly suspect if not illegal?

Steven Cheung is a liar, and a coward. He accused the official who protested the illegality of having mental issues. A guy who probably is not permitted to respond to falsehoods.

 

Nothing is too low for Trump, or the sycophants he employs.
