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.

shit is fucking WILD. Smiling with thumbs up at GRAVE SITE. This is absolutely bonkers.Same vibe:
These two pics need to be slapped together.
🎵 The day the speedforce died.... 🎵
That's a weird way to pose in a cemetery, unless you were happy the person is dead. Bunch of weirdos.
They are, remember? Trump said only suckers and losers go to war.
Since security will be tight around Trump's grave, being a former president and all, happy expressions and poses is all people will have.
The kid on his mother's hips has the right emotion.
All the kids in there look like they don’t want to be in this.
these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever," the families' new statement added. "We are deeply grateful to the president for taking the time to honor our children and for standing alongside us in our grief, offering his unwavering support during such a difficult time. His compassion and respect meant more than words can express."
So gross in so many ways.
If this is supposed to be a shot at Biden/Harris for releasing the bomber, as they like to do with the previous "Bigrant Crime" initiative, the Dept of Defense seems to disagree:
"With access to analysis from across the intelligence community, we were able to identify the Abbey Gate person-borne IED bomber as [Bomber], an [ISIS-K] member since 2016," said one Army official on the 12-person, joint supplemental review team.
[Bomber] was one of thousands of ISIS-K members the Taliban released from a pair of detention centers in mid-August 2021, according to another Army team official.
The same official also pointed out that the supplemental review team determined ISIS-K would have still been able to conduct the attack regardless of whether [Bomber] had been released, because the terror organization already had multiple suicide bombers available.
"This supports the conclusion that the attack at Abbey Gate was not preventable at the tactical level," the official said.
Yeah they're just going to ignore that. And the fact that Trump obliterated any chance to maintain the Afghan government by cutting them out of the negotiations. The fact that Trump made no effort to remove local allies even though he was drawing forces down and knew we would leave within a few a years.
The situation at Abbey Gate could not have been avoided by anything short of a divine act during Biden's presidency. That stuff had to be done by Trump and it wasn't.
With 5 other people doing the thumbs up. America has a major cult problem. The founding fathers probably never imagined a cult taking over a major political party.
He's a goddamn sociopath.
I guarantee he thought to make sure they looked like they were having a good time meeting him and said "put a grin on and a thumbs up because your sheeple and if you don't I'll have my guys put their guns up your butt until you do."
If they're the types of people who would willing pose with Trump by their dead family members' graves, I guarantee they needed no coercing to do that. Except for the poor kids, of course.
Guy towards the left's smile fading after he realized Donald didn't want to be seen anywhere near him. Donald is truly despicable.
Look at the veteran with the prosthetic arm in the back, he is not giving the thumbs up 🤦♂️
Leg, too. Were I him I'd have offered the prosthetic for 45 to shake hands with me, and make sure someone got the pics of his revulsion.
Sick fucks.
A lot of those thumbs ups are presumably the dead marine's family too. Like, they get to decide how they grieve, but man.
Slightly off topic, but doesn't Trump claim to be 6'3"? Dude behind him on the left must be a fucking giant.
That's just begging for some photoshop.
The man on the end at the far right is Utah Governor Spencer Cox-R.
Claims to hang out for photo ops with Weird Convict 34 and not campaigning here. Rrrright. Cox must not know that campaigning is the only thing Sleepy DonOLD knows to do. Sad!
Besides the obvious problems, those are some weak ass thumbs up from everyone who has the poor taste to even try.
Oh, and the guy off to the left who can't give a thumbs up with his right hand anymore, even if he was so inclined.
There's just so much to this picture.
It’s like they’re approving of the guy’s death.
Gross
"Press F to disrespect the troops that you were directly responsible for their deaths."
Here's a website to donate in support of the green beret in the grave on the left (whose family did not approve of the grave being photographed) that died by suicide in 2020. The family has come out saying that they never agreed to have his grave in the photos and that they want the photos taken down as his death is still very painful to them and they would like to be able to grieve in peace.
