I see that in sharp contrast to Trump, the Republican Governor of Utah has apologized for a campaign photo of him taken with Trump at Arlington. 

 

Quote

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) issued a mea culpa Wednesday for sending out a campaign email with a photo of him and Donald Trump at Virginia’s Arlington National Cemetery.

 

Utah Governor Apologizes For Campaigning With Photo From Trump's Cemetery Visit

"This was not a campaign event and was never intended to be used by the campaign. It did not go through the proper channels and should not have been sent. My campaign will be sending out an apology,” Cox posted

Trump campaign and the 13 Abbey Gate families say there were no campaign or 'partisan' activities at the Tomb ceremony or at Section 60, 26 August, 2024. The video taken there shows Trump walking around, greeting people, and not saying anything.

But the statement issued by the Army says:

“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 Trump media operation edited the Section 60 'content' video, wrote a voice-over narration for Trump and recorded it with Trump saying "then THEY took over that disaster" and had it posted on TikTok the next day.

Along with all the other TikTok Trump 2024 posted political videos.

What exactly is wrong with the photo? I presume they are the family of the dead soldier, by the stone they are standing around.  if they wanted the photo taken, then who are you to critise it? Surely you should respect their wishes?

these photos are ok, but not Trumps?

There are people who cannot see the difference - and they are old enough to vote. Be alarmed.
