Trump tries to clean up mess from possibly illegal cemetery photo op
Donald Trump tried to clean up the mess after his widely criticized visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where two of his staffers allegedly engaged in an altercation with an official trying to enforce rules against photographing gravesites. The former president and Republican nominee posed for.....
It wasn't "possibly illegal", it was just plainly illegal.
You're viewing a single thread.
The former president and Republican nominee posed for photos and videos alongside the families of two service members killed in an August 2021 bombing attack, and many critics questioned why Trump posed with a grin plastered on his face and his customary thumbs-up gesture.
What the actual fuck.
A source with knowledge of the incident said the official tried to enforce a federal law prohibiting political campaigns or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, which Cheung insisted was an individual experiencing a "mental health episode."
Oh, that's awesome. I'm a person with a diagnosed mental health issue (bi-polar). It's really cool how you're shitting on people like me and others who have similar issues. I bet a lot of soldiers have PTSD, which would also be a mental health issue. Fucking cool, right?
I doubt the guy had any mental health issues. That's just the trump shithead trying to insult the employee for doing their job.
Reread. Cheung said the guy trying to enforce the rules was having mental issues....
No not only disrespecting dead military members but mocking conditions their military experience may leave them with.
I read it. I think he's just a liar.
It can't possibly be that the Trump campaign were in the wrong, so the insults start. That asshole is always calling people names and blaming them for bullshit the Trump campaign pulls.
I am confused on which way you mean any of that. Too many do's and don'ts without specific subjects or enough context.
What's confusing? The government employee refused to let the Trump campaign break the law so the campaign made up a shitty lie about their mental health.
The campaign basically called them "crazy" to make it seem like they were just being perfectly polite and it was the "other" that was "out of control." The standard "blame, accuse and double down" when someone points out you fucked up that all of the GOP adopted from Trump.
Its just more name calling from the name callers. I completely doubt the name calling comes from a place of authenticity.
BADD is an apt acronym
Well shit, that is good. I didn't even notice.
First time I'd noticed BADD as an acronym. I'm more used to seeing GOP reinterpreted: Gaslight Obstruct Project
Yes I get all that. It is fucked up. The confusing part was the comment I replied to was not specific in subject. So it could've been read as Arlington was right or Trump was.
I believe Mango is saying that the Trump staffer is lying when he claims that the cemetery staffer had a mental health issue.
The cemetery staffer was doing his duty, but if the Trump campaign admitted that, they would admit that assaulting him was wrong. So instead, the Trump staffer deflects that criticism by claiming that the cemetery staffer was having a mental health episode.
So rather than blaming issues caused by service, the Trump staffer completely made up issues to justify their behaviour.
It's highly disrespectful to veterans either way, of course.
Trump doesn't respect dead soldiers I don't like mccain, never did and though McCain's service record is straight up dog shit that would have landed literally anyone else in federal prison many times over Trump of all people don't got a leg to stand on.
That's just the classic republican projection.
Fascists gonna fascist.
The average dumbass American probably doesn't know that Hitler didn't just kill Jews, and that their dumb, social-anxiety ridden ass will be one of the first against the wall.
