Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told the Associated Press.

"Clearly suffering from a mental health episode", they gave themselves away with this.

look at all the camera phones people have out in plain sight

The real problem is, they didn’t want the public to know he went and The president didn’t even go.

When you visit Arlington, you're told to maintain silence and respect. Real people do.

He didn't lay a wreath because he was showing respect. He laid the wreath because he running for re-election. It was easy to do, just not so easy to fool every one all of the time.

The media doesn't get it yet, we see straight through you now. We know who and what you are in this country

[daveg]

Standing on a dead soldiers grave smiling and giving a thumbs up??? That's just plain weird - not to mention, disrespectful.

[jimacker]

The people complaining are the ones who do not want you to know the truth.

If Trump isn’t breaking the law, he’s golfing. How does anyone vote for a career criminal?

[Xonid]

Is anyone allowed to take pictures there? If not, then why are there so many? They wanted to hide him being there because the other candidate and President didn't show.

So disgusting! We all know he has no respect for soldiers, especially those who died. But this is beyond the pale. He again has shown he thinks he’s above the rules and the law. At least the corporate news has picked up on this story.

[toddmar]

This story about Arlington needs to get more coverage.

Arlington national cemetery is filmed all the time for movies and what not. Trump is there with the families of men who are heroes and he is honoring these men.

As the daughter of a soldier, I find it strange that Trump since that Afghanistan bombing has never gone there but did this time. His total disrespect of the military is sad. Jd Vance makes a mockery of the Marine corps with his disrespect for higher ranks and fellow veterans that have served for news time 😢

[vwghia]

So many outraged by photographs but no one seems to care about the botched withdrawal that caused this event .

[armyguy]

I served in the Military in and Around Arlington National Cemetery. Never has anyone been asked to NOT take pictures. The only requirements around The Tomb of Unknowns is " Silence and respect."

This is an absolute lie. They were invited there by the families. STOP

[JG_Rock]

The families didn’t have a problem with it the country needs to remember.

[JarredMunson-vq]

U gonna keep telling bold face lies to manipulate the naive?

[Mozzer]

Why wasn’t Biden/Harris there to honor the 13 service members lost at abbey gate. Thank you Trump for going to pay respects
