Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members are authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

Least surprising thing I’ve read all day and makes total sense.

I’ve seen others take pictures there with zero problems.

Trump and his underlings are assholes as well as liars and criminals. Who knew.

Perhaps it was the filming that was the issue.

Sounds like the cemetery “officials” had their own issues. 🤔

 

[Bonerfarts]

This is the type of leadership we need in charge of the whole country.

Shocked that people who work there might be a little protective and might not want Arlington National Cemetery used as a campaign prop any more than it already was.

It was ridiculous he was even there.

They actually filmed a documentary there years ago.
Guys must have been on break then.

You do know why he was there right?

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

You do know why he was there right?

Yes, to make a political point.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

You do know why he was there right?

To pretend like he gives a shit about the troops?

or it was in a different section, one that didn't have recent casualties laid to rest?

edit:

Looks like this is the reason a documentary was approved but not a campaigning candidate's photographer

"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," according to the statement. "Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants."

“Just send some goons down there to rough ‘em up” as official policy. John Gotti would be proud.

Smiling and a thumbs up in front of fallen soldier’s gravestones. That is truly disgustingly weird. Incredibly disrespectful.

But would expect nothing less from the same guy who took a veteran’s Purple Heart when it was offered to him, Trump said: “That’s, like, big stuff,” “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

Trump accepts Purple Heart he’s ‘always wanted’ from veteran

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Tuesday that he finally received the Purple Heart that he’s “always wanted” — but from a retired U.S. Army soldier and ardent supporter of his campaign. Trump invited Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman onstage at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, Va...

Fake news reportedly

Trump can do no wrong.

Just blindly defend him.

Idiot.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Trump can do no wrong.

Is there any hill the MAGA idiot brigade won’t die on for or relating to Trump? Their sad devotion to such a depraved lunatic is next level insane.

I don’t get it.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Just blindly defend him.

Idiot.

It is literally just knee-jerk throwing of shit at the wall hoping something sticks.

They just can’t help but defend the cult at all costs. Truly sad.

 

[noleclone2]

Not hyperbole: Donald Trump and campaign say and / or do something every single day of the week that 30 years ago would have ended a campaign. The sheer overwhelming volume of it all is the number 1 reason he is immune to any consequences.

 

[torbee]

They just can’t help but defend the cult at all costs. Truly sad.

That’s kind of the whole thing with cults, lol.

 

[Bonerfarts]

Fake news reportedly

The news that this is fake news, is fake news reportedly.

 

[HawkBall23]

I doubt the MAGAts even bother with lube anymore. They just bend over and pull their cheeks apart, smiling and begging him for it all the while.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

That’s kind of the whole thing with cults, lol.

Right.

What’s scary is how widespread and pervasive it is.

Imagine that many people enthusiastically following David Koresh. Scary indeed.

What about rules is hard for you to understand?

Yep. Donald tells them to bend over and they gleefully do while spelling RUN.

R-U-N

Your slip is showing

Why not let Wendy’s cut ads there, then?

 

[TheCainer]

You do know why he was there right?

Damage control.

 

[EasyHawk]

But but both sides, something socialism, staff turnover, stolen valor, weaponized justice department and no proof of rape and pedophilia. And knows nothing of project 2025. Did I do it right?

 

[HawkBall23]

What about rules is hard for you to understand?

Rules mean something and should be followed only when they benefit you, dontchyaknow?

Damn....even Arlington National Cemetery hires "suckers and losers" to tend the graves of the other "suckers and losers".

Wonder what our Resident MAGAs will say about this...

 

[Joes Place]

I’ve seen others take pictures there with zero problems.

Perhaps it was because they asked first.

 

[Joes Place]

They actually filmed a documentary there years ago.

So, you're equating a pre-approved documentary to a campaign photo-op.

Wow.

 

[Tom Paris]

Is there any hill the MAGA idiot brigade won’t die on for or relating to Trump? Their sad devotion to such a depraved lunatic is next level insane.

I don’t get it.

Of course you don’t…you think for yourself and not like a cult member.

 

[jneffer]

Why not let Wendy’s cut ads there, then?

You say that...but I fully expect Trump to monetize that visit any day now

"act now and you can be the proud owner of a TRUMP brand memorial...tastefully removed from Arlington national cemetery graves"

 

[Bonerfarts]

This would be believable only if Trump had a history of forcing himself on women and the US electorate, but this seems out of character for Trump.

How hard is this to understand?

This is clearly fake news, the cult has already found tweets that contradict it. Just like the lies about trump being an actual felon and sexual abuser, all debunked per the faithful.
