I went to DC with my JROTC in high-school. We visited the Vietnam wall where my instructor shed some tears, we stopped at the eternal flame, we quietly watched the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldiers. But the one thing that really stands out in my memory is when we were at Arlington and in the distance fairly far away we could see a funeral procession. Our instructor made us quite down, stand at attention and salute as it went by even though it was still passing by far from us. That image of the horse pulling the casket and disappearing behind a hill of white tombstones will stay with me forever. And Trump stood among those hills and used the tombstones as a photo opp. He has no understanding of service and sacrifice. There is something wrong with him.

Self seeking, abhorrent behavior on the part of anyone who would take part in this DISGRACEFUL stunt.

When he was a president never visited the cemetery.

There is no decency in that man, no level he won’t stoop to in the advancement to his ambitions but his supporters think he’s the second coming…. Mind blowing!!

This excuse of a human being has no shame

My parents and my brother are interred there. Even as a child and still, if I set foot in the cemetery, tears fill my eyes in awe of the sacrifices made by its honorees. Trump’s mere presence there is an insult to me, whatever its purpose.

DISRESPECT has no boundaries to TRUMP!

True respect doesn't need photographers and a film crew to prove it.

I’m fed up with the maybes and perhapses when Trump breaks every rule and law but invariably gets away with it. It’s time someone grew some b…s and persued these deliberate acts of

[GlobalWarmingAdvocate]

Trumps team attacked the Arlington staff by saying "an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode". Are they talking about Trump or are they further disgracing themselves?
Does any employee doing their job deserve that kind of abuse? Steven Cheung should issue an apology and the MSM should demand one!

[apsmith]

Maybe Trump should swing by the people that died January 6th due to his attempt to overturn the election ??

[annturner]

Seeing him place flowers, acting like he cares about the veterans who lost their lives, is despicable. Why now? Why not last year or before. Truly a campaign ploy for attention.

[SlapshotProspecting]

Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame. Such a disgrace.

This is disgusting! TRUMP THE DRAFT DODGER! So disrespectful!
