Trump and his campaign staff desecrate Arlington National Cemetary

[manly]

Well this is shocking.....ly obvious. Thumbs up over dead soldiers graves.... remember when he posed with child orphaned from a mass shooting and gave a good old thumbs up?

Good times...

Meanwhile Donny is grinning ear to ear over dead bodies.

How is this different than the assholes who take selfies with the deceased at funeral home viewings?

Edit: Just to clarify I think both acts are distasteful. Neither are acceptable IMHO.

Are they running for President? Are any former Presidents?

It doesn't differ as far as decency goes, but Trump's conduct in Arlington was not only in very bad taste it was also illegal.

So it's ok to take a selfie with a dead relative if you're not running for president?

 

[Puffnstuff]

What a POS of a person he is.

 

[dainthomas]

Probably by Gen. Lee looking for his house key.

And still carrying the white towel.

That wasn’t your question

It doesn't bother me at all that someone takes a selfie with the dead. After paying thousands to prep the corpse, someone aught to get pics.

Project 2025 include making a Trump Golf Course on Arlington National Cemetery or something?

If you look a the pictures it's almost like he was there for the ground breaking ceremony..

I'll take False Equivalencies for $200, Alex.

My question was rhetorical. My point was they are both disgusting acts and weird. Both are taking selfies with the deceased. Both are done for selfish reasons.

That is what makes it more disgusting. He is mailing it in with generic grin and thumbs up like has for thousands of promotional pictures before. Zero respect or shits given to the true heroes in that field. It is vile.

You sound like the guy who thinks it's okay to interfere with a catch on the edge of a homerun. I paid to get in here.

 

[Meghan54]

Damn what a wanker he is.

I’ve a grandfather buried in Arlington…he’d bitch slap that asshole into next Sunday for the shit he’s shoveled on military and vets.

(And yes, I did smoke some weed whilst sitting/leaning against his headstone. Fun times!)

Is it legal to take selfies with dead relatives?

Do our soldiers deserve more respect?

It used to be a big thing in the Victorian days (required the advent of photography). So was saving hair and doing all kinds of knitting with it.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Wait...was the Trump team there at the behest of one (or more) of the fallen soldiers' families? Not saying this makes it right--just saying it's not as much of an insult if they were there with the families.

The families have come out in vocal open support of the Demon.

 

[hal2kilo]

The ones who were present though. I can assume much backlash and his further erosion of military voting for him.

As I mentioned previously, there are many who are not present, including one grave visible that is highly unlikely to have given consent.

Fucking hell! Thats the most hilariously awkward picture ever! It’s like a still from the office (is the US office boss as socially incompetent as the UK one?)

 

[VRAMdemon]

With regard to the Arlington thing, some of the reporting indicates that Trump was present with the blessing of the family of one or more of the recently deceased military members.

Which of course, means he and his ilk felt free to make it a photo op despite the clearly defined rules of the place. So, IF confirmed correct, he has his usual fucking fig leaf, but I’d love to see the claimed footage that exonerates his staff.

So, in short, this is a lot more of Trump applying his imperial ideas that “rules don’t apply to him” and then he and his thugs attacking anyone who dares to call him to order.

So, despite my minimalist factual coverage for this draft dodger and a man who thinks these people are suckers and losers, I see no reason to give him a pass and hope that whatever powers that be in the uncaring universe award this Leaning Tower of Treason with that fate.

The fact that now they’ve put out a campaign video around it just… fuck that guy…. I need to find another threat to post in…brb

I'm not aware of Trump being related or friends with any one barried at Arlington National Cemetary. Generally those that are taking picture at funeral home viewings fall under family/friends, where everyone has different ways of coping and preserving memories of loved ones, and some view a funeral as a celebration of life. If you can't see the difference, god help us.
