The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.

Yet Sergeant Marckesano’s grave was shown in photos from the visit that were published online

“However,” she added, “according to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to Staff Sergeant Hoover’s gravesite in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave.”

He did not have permission from the family members.

It shows he is emotionally devoid, he is empty. Only thing that matters is himself.
I saw footage on national news, probably ABC on this. Maybe 2 days ago. They had Trump (I think at the AN Cemetary) saying the tumultuous exit with 13 servicemen dead (bomb) was Kamala's fault. Trump looked pathetic in his false display of piety.

It was he (during his term) who promised the Afghans that the US would withdraw. Biden was carrying out the US's pledge. The withdrawal happened after when Trump promised it would happen. How Trump could claim that the difficult withdrawal was Vice President Kamala Harris' fault boggles the mind. AFAIK, she wasn't involved in that at all.

Truth is irrelevant. Only repeated alt-facts and projection. It is the easiest way to delude the ignorant. Don’t trust your eyes.

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.
There are a few locks of Beethoven's hair around, doubtless taken after death. Been analyzed to determine COD.

He is truly the candidate for people who can't be bothered to ascertain the facts.

Also why the fuck is a political candidate allowed to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder? He is a private citizen, I doubt I could roll in there and ask to lay a wreath as part of an official ceremony. The only reason he wanted to do this was for political theater, why in the world was it allowed?

He did a lot more than just promise. He was responsible for Pakistan releasing Taliban, including their leader, from prison. He was even going to have the Taliban leaders at Camp David until someone convinced/stopped him from doing so.

And as we have seen time after time after time Trump will break any rule, tell any lie, defy any law that suits his personal needs, insult and defame with reckless abandon and there's millions of his followers cheering him on because "he's kicking ass, taking names and telling it like it is". That Trump is breaking laws and getting convicted for them is meaningless to his followers because they simply don't care unless of course heaven forbid Joe or Kamala would behave as Trump does.

Now that, that's a whole 'nother thing amiright? They'd be screaming for a firing squad if Joe or Kamala were to say and do any of those heinous despicable things that Trump commits on a daily hourly basis. Why? Strangely, only Trump's supporters know how to deftly do that hypocritical side step and run boogaloo without nary a thought about how mind boggling and incredulously stupid it makes them look. They just don't care. They stand tall at the top of a mountain of feces that Trump scraped up all on his own and claim how proud they are of his accomplishing that shameful deed, fer cry'in out loud. The sheer insanity of it all is as breath taking as it is jaw dropping. But there they are in real time doing that thing they do with the whole world taking it all in.

What? He was able to do this?
Agree why the fuck did they allow that.

Need to find out who was it in the Arlington bureaucracy gave Trump permission to lay that wreath and why they let him desecrate the grounds for a fucking self-serving photo op. I suspect it'll be one of his supporters that work there. And that person should be summarily drummed out of that job in disgrace.

He was invited by the family to lay the wreath. Still doesn't make the photo's any less crass.

So I wonder does any family who have loved ones buried at Arlington have the privilege to invite a celebrity private citizen with camera crews and lackeys tagging along to lay a wreath at the Tomb for publicity? And I wonder who was it that initiated the invitation request. Was it actually the family of the deceased that initiated the invite of their own desire or was it Trump's stooges that somehow took advantage of a chance opportunity and contacted them first? I doubt if the details will ever be known.

edit- Also, I wonder who gave that family permission to desecrate the graves of the deceased who are laid adjacent to their loved one. Why wasn't that family accompanied by Arlington staff of appropriate rank or made aware of the rules of conduct to make sure that there were no violation of the rules being made on that particular section of hallowed ground? Also, I really do feel a lot of sympathy for the staff member that had to confront Trump and his enforcers and attempt to stop them from desecrating the graves in that section. She was way too far down the chain to do anything about it. And that family who invited Trump? Well sorry to say their starry eyed enthusiasm for participating in such a big deal that turned out to be a travesty I have no sympathy for in the least.
