Exactly. If he had just taken the flowers there and left.... eh, perhaps but he made a lineup and told everyone to smile and give thumbs up. Nasty and vile. And for any Maga out there, what would your response be if Harris did the same?
@@robbin2755 exactly and for all the TRUMP worshippers HIM TAKING THE PICTURE IS NOT PROHIBITED HIM USING THEM FOR HIS CAMPAIGN TO RAISE MONEY IS PROHIBITED
@@freeamerica834 so the cemetery stating that it is a violation of federal law to use the cemetery for photo ops and politics is bad reporting or the fact that the other families buried there didn't agree to this? Or you just hate the truth when they report the nonsense Trump pulls? You probably don't respect other people's boundaries either...
Agreed, Trump has zero credibility. He was a President for 4 years and still doesn't know the basic policies that honor those who have the ultimate sacrifice.
@@ArayaLight Yeah, it's the deep state, right/ Yeah, yeah that's it, it's always the deep state. Always the deep state and Donnie is always the super innocent bystander not doing any outrageously disrespectful grifting at all. Yeah, yeah, that's it.... Trump loves the uneducated.
You are NOT an American if you condone trump's behavior. There was nothing wrong with trump going there. He was invited. That's fine. But to use it for a campaign event is WRONG and UNAMERICAN! It's disgusting, and vile! He broke a Federal law by filming it!!
Yep, this is the thing Maga is not talking about as they can't talk this down. SO they just scream and yell "what crime!?" to drown any discussion about that. So, we should be asking this question more! Why smile and give thumbs up in the middle of a graveyard?
Yeah, he could've done that put then he wouldn't be getting any sympathy votes from the veterans... because this was all political. *And giving thumbs while smiling for photo-op with rows of graves behind them... It's insane how Maga thinks is a-ok.*
obviously???? any sensible person wouldnt try and use a veteran cemetery as a campaign opportunity. his despicable character and decision making is the reason he disrespected the monument with his bad politics. he doesnt care about veterans or anyone
If he cared about the country and our soldiers, HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO FOLLOW AND RESPECT THE LAW OF THE LAND. SHAMEFUL All he thinks about in HIMSELF
So answer me this. Where was Biden and Kamala for this ceremony? Seems to me you’re a complete sheep and clueless. Trump was asked by the families to be there. That looks like respect to me.
You do realize that Biden and Kamala are responsible for these soldiers losing their lives right? Or are you going to play dumb and blame Trump for something he wasn’t even in office for?
How you get anyone to buy your gaslighting BS at this point is beyond me besides the stupidity of people being evident in my day to day life. And calling people stupid I mean those who remain willfully ignorant. Knowing fact and opinion and where it applies is a really really skewed thing it seems
All good brother. The leftist crazies will still throw their shorthand buzzwords with zero vocabulary. But they've lost all their moderates and independents. Definitely shows how strong we are if they're desperate to start rolling out these stories
The facts were in the clip: policies of the national memorial burial ground. It's clear anyone can show respect, and they can do it without an entourage. The policies are in place, and federal laws are in place, to prevent the cemetery from becoming a spectacle, and everyone to visit quietly with a respect that honors everyone. A responsible leader knows that.
As part of the United States-Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments. For all you MagaT’s.. all you have to do is google and fact check it! Trump released the Taliban prisoners and the Bomber.. 🙄
There are a set rules for Arlington that have been there for years. No cameras and no political stunts out of respect for the soldiers there. I dont understand how these families open there arms to dump when he disrespects them. Wow.
@@browns1014 Not all cars on the road are tuned up perfectly. Some spit and sputter their way down the highway. Not all people walking on earth have correctly wired brains. Some are stammering and stuttering their way through life without stopping at the pit stops along the way and then they continue to operate in disrepair until they crash and burn taking out several others along with them. Does that help answer your question? Not all people are real people. Just because they have four limbs, ears, nose, mouth and head doesn't mean they're the same as you and me. SHEEP also have all of those same things. Jesus knew exactly what he was saying when he said: _"Feed my sheep."_ But I think he, unfortunately, missed the fact that some of what he thought were sheep were actually WOLVES in Sheep's clothing and they can get entire herds to follow them right over the cliff.
The mother of the fallen soldier is wrong. My son serves and our entire family knows the dangers of service. It is horrible her son was kia. He was not murdered. He was serving his country. He deserves respect not thumbs up. Djt should not have been allowed in Arlington.🤬
Well he was murdered because it was not a combat operation. It was a humanitarian crisis and his job as to secure a wall not fight in a War. The families of the dead service members invited invited Trump and what gives you the right to tell these families who can and who cannot visit the graves of their children.All of this was caused by 1 person Joe Biden who wanted a photo op on Sept 11, so he could say I ended thr war in the middle east. Don't give me that Trump agreement trash. When American lives are in danger agreements aren't binding
As much as I am sympathetic for families with lost loved ones in battle, it sounds like the woman who invited Trump is at least partly to blame, but Trump and everyone in his campaign, should have put the kibosh on using it as political material. so they are more to blame than she is. But she also invited him and doesn’t seem to care that he violated the rules. That makes her culpable as well.
Also, her blaming the Biden admin makes this political. I bet she wouldn't be claiming murder, if he'd died when Trump was president. Also, we can't forget it was Trump who set the deadline for getting the troops out, not leaving enough time for a proper withdrawal.
@paulacoyle5685 You are a disgusting human for saying this bull crap! Biden has done the same thing, but you don't care he did it. He was asked to take a picture with them, DUGH
It is such a shame, and also the other headstone of the family who was not present that is visible in the video, shows a woman standing on that grave! How disrespectful! Trump and JD vans are a disgrace to the American people!
My father is in a veteran's cemetery. I've always been very respectful of where I was when I visited his grave, as I would be in any other cemetery. It's called respect, something Trump knows little about!
The not so "anonymous" headstone is what really got to me. We can also fully expect yet another trading card added to his $99 packet featuring his THUMBS UP ANC group photo and making it an even $100 grift.
I'm not pleased that the army will not stand up for this woman. ***She should not be frightened - she should have the entire armed forces at her back***
76% ♪ Arlington Media Policy In general, Arlington Cemetery is open to the use of media by guests of the cemetery grounds. The key rule that is enforced at all times, however, is that guests be aware and mindful of each other at all times. It is strictly forbidden for media outlets to take pictures of anyone mourning in the cemetery and it's heavily frowned upon for average guests to do the same. While commemoration is great for helping someone mourn and come to terms with the loss of a loved one, it should never come at the expense of someone else's grief. If you have any queries about the rules or need permission before doing something, the Arlington National Cemetery's Public Affairs Office will be your first point of contact.
Wrong.... it's on their own site stating "Filming or photographing will not be permitted if it conveys the impression that cemetery officials or any visitor or family member is endorsing any product, service or organization. Additionally, ANC will not authorize any filming for partisan, political or fundraising purposes, in accordance with the Hatch Act, 32 CFR 553, and AR 360-1. Note it says NOT PERMITTED. It's on page 4 of their "Media Policy" ... I'd post the link, but RU-vid would delete it.

@@mikem1956 Honoring them is one thing... him and his campaign creating a political ad on Arlington grounds is another thing. Doesn't matter who it is, it's prohibited.
Trump's campaign defamed the Arlington National Cemetery staffer by commenting that she was “clearly suffering from a mental health episode.” That staffer should get a top-notch lawyer and sue Trump and his campaign for damages to her person and reputation.
President Trump remembering the Fallen while Biden does everything he can to memory hole it all. Just look at the picture and how happy the families are, happy to be there happy in the remembering of their loved ones and what do the Democrats do? Turn the ceremony into a political circus they are disgusting.
@@PressRecord777 I watch everything from msnbc to the Humanist report to Real America's Voice. Trump is just following the fascist playbook, which hasn't changed much in 80 years.
So I looked up photos of presidents who have been to Arlington. Almost every one in recent years soooo what's the big deal. Why is this "political" and the others aren't?
Presidents can visit Arlington as often as they like. It's the campaigning that is specifically prohibited, i.e. abusing the feelings stirred by fallen soldiers to try and win an election.
I’m sorry for your loss, but thankful your son chose to serve- that’s an honor! Trump could have gone per the mother’s request and not used it as a campaign promotion. It’s not about him going, it’s about him exploiting fallen soldiers for his benefit. Once again, Trump broke the law. Our President is supposed to uphold the Constitution and the law. I fear too many don’t realize this is Trump’s arrogance and narcissism - his belief that he is not just the judge and jury, but the one who establishes the law.
So you have no problem that 13 service members died but it was “legal” because they served? Vs the absolute 💩 leadership Biden / Harris displayed during Afghanistan which should be the democrats real concern? What is wrong with you? 🤡
@@James_Knott James, you must understand the anguish the parents are going through. It has nothing to do with the law which btw was not broken. Only because it’s Trump the media makes it a thing. Don’t believe the left and fall into their trap.
@@RealGracefulGooseexactly. According to trump, the ones that died would be considered losers smh. He has no respect for the military. In fact, in project 2025 they want to cut benefits for veterans with disabilities.
Take a look at what the GOAT Mattis has to say about Trump. They hate each other. If you listen to Trump over Mattis you're definitely not a Marine, and lost either way.
When Trump accuses people of hiring paid supporters you can best believe that’s exactly what he’s doing. It wouldn’t surprise me if this family was offered money by his campaign and signed an NDA
There's a reason that our representatives voted to make this a violation of the Hatch Act. That particular area, with newly buried heroes, is incredibly sensitive to the families and friends of those laid to rest there. Visiting is one thing. Taking pictures and using the visit for political purposes is not. Trump could have visited with the family and paid his respects without breaking the law, and more importantly, and without disrespecting the graves of those buried around and underneath the feet of his staff. And attacking a guard because they are trying to prevent you from violating the law is completely uncalled for.
So, if this was Harris.... Would your response change? You would be defending her as "it was clearly not political!!!!!!!" Do i get a hint of double standards?
@@alaric_ Yes. I think media bias from either "side" is moronic, so would love to have folks make decisions based in fact, not media bias...or assumptions, such as double standards ;)

So your voting for Democrats or Third party or not voting at all? If for a Democrat, how do you reconcile their support for Roe vs Wade? If Third party, what's the point? If not at all, I don't understand that, but I respect your right to it. Also what Bible are you and your church reading/studying?
Your son died under the trump administration when he released those 5k afghan prisoners. These were the same people that took over Afghanistan while the U.S. was withdrawing. My condolences to you and your family, do your research before blindly accusing someone!!
She knows nothing dump made a deal releasing the taliban rebels that killed her son. Come on. So she is ok that he disrespected Arlington dead soldiers. Just because she wanted him there. When he got her son killed. Wow. The thirteen family members had no disregard for the rest of the families whose families have sons and daughters buried there. Shame on them to make it political.

trump's campaign said in response to "It's a Federal Law Banning the Filming in Arlington" - "Yeah so what, we got permission from the families". Think ABOUT that!
@zlauriault how is it disrespectful? He's doing something Biden/Harris refused to do. They haven't even acknowledged the families. That's disrespectful!
Kamala hasn't presented any info on how she plans to handle the issues we face. She has done next to no interviews. How are we supposed to know who we're acually voting for? What is appealing about her beside the fact she isn't Trump and what has she done to earn your support?
Let’s not forget, the wreath laying by Trump happened on the day that Biden impatiently got 13 servicemen killed, and he nor his woman veep was nowhere to be seen accepting responsibility for their actions
Let’s not forget that Trump’s wreath laying happened on the anniversary when Biden got 13 servicemen unalived and he nor his woman veep was anywhere to be seen accepting remorse for their actions
@@perkasami6305 My post has been deleted twice about Biden’s botched withdrawal and how he wasn’t there at the Anniversary of his actions, yet Trump was. Apparent you can’t talk about the 13 lives that were lost using defacto language or even RU-vid language. Yet this video gets promoted blatantly lying to the general public and giving gaslighters like the OP a platform to spew nonsense
I really think JD Vance needs therapy. He clearly has issues with women. His mother had a drug problem. Maybe it’s complex PTSD and what we are seeing is projection. Trump should replace some immediately.
Exactly the democrats don't pay respect to anyone they only care about things that benefit the amount of power they possess listen to rfk he was a lifelong Democrat. And a high ranking member.
A previous president who waited until he was campaigning for president and made sure to do a photo op over someone's grave. That's the definition of dirty politics.
it was a private ceremony, not pubic, we had one for my grandfather in February, the family that invited him are big supporters of the RNC (no issue with that, their choice) they did not invite the president to a PRIVATE event the issue is not him attending, the issue is using Arlington as a campaign prop, and the fact that he brought a videographer with him makes me think his motives for attending were not altruistic

There are rules of respect at Arlington. Just because someone invited him doesn't mean Don-old gets to break the rules. But as usual he only cares about himself.
I cannot bring myself to watch any more of his antics. He politicized this Arlington visit, even stooped so low as to manipulate grieving (well intentioned) people - and for all the wrong reasons. Many probably did not realize that foto opps are expressly forbidden at Arlington National. I am sure he is now blaming the Democrats for this entire debacle....
Just realize that trump will do anything for attention including this kind of disrespectful stunt. He’s happy cos the attention is on him again snd not on Harris. Goal accomplished in his mind. It’s sick but that’s how he sees things.
the laws of arlington are there to protect the dignity of everyone who has a family member buried at arlington. the woman who invited trump has to understand that she's not the only one who has a loved one buried in arlington. i have no issue with her inviting trump or trump being there. i have issue with trump continually violating the laws of the land; even in a place like arlington. the laws of the land are absolute and are not a respecter of persons...including donald trump.
inluding his progressing dementia and psychopathy ? Badderies, sharks, windmills, wales, snakes, the whole lot united in one big perfect genius dictator. Not an inch of normal life in sight.
He could've just made this visit without a speech about himself. He could've made a visit without inviting over 400 photo teams to film it and made it a huge event with a tribute to HIMSELF. It's selfish of Trump to have made the visit about himself and his crap team.
@johngodard2760 they weren't invited..this is a private cemetery that's only open to the families on certain times and is only allowed to be filmed in certain areas. Trump was disrespectful and BROKE THE LAW about filming and photographic innocent people actually there to pay their respects. Unlike Biden, Harris and their team who stayed out of of illegalities and did the right thing by instead sending flowers via a permissioned state sanction from afar without making it a political stunt and stupid speech like Trump did.
@johngodard2760 filming there is technically not permitted.. it's very illegal to make it a political stop. Trump was the one who called the media, we've already got several of the photographers who said they got the call from trumps team. We have proof that Biden sent flowers when they originally died, to both the families and to the Graves. That he came and met most of the families that ALLOWED him to meet them, in their homes. Not at the cemetery. Which puts into question why the crazy lady who demanded trump come and hold a political moment "honoring".. why didn't she let Biden give her flowers back when her son first died..? Why didn't she accept the respect? Perhaps because of her grief blocking her mind, perhaps because of her own mental illnesses. But how she's gone about both instances is rather flawed and potentially incriminates Trump ...further than the man does so himself willingly.
at 2:30 she can speak for all the other families, over 400k that are their. i am so that is not the place for that, i am sorry for her lost but that does not give her the right to speak for all the other families. a law is a law.
All the thumps up, smiles, and fake president will not bring this honorable solder back. It's sad that this family is supporting Trump, who dodged the draft. Trump thinks he is above the law and should be fined or locked up. Come on Garland do something.
Really wild seeing MSM acting like Russian PG machines in my own country. As a veteran I sometimes wonder if our country is in danger, sadly it's whenever MSM open's their mouths.
You’re not alone and the comment sections of almost every political minded video the MSM puts out is re assuring.. for the most part We ain’t buying it!!
private ceremony, not a public one, the family who were at the RNC invited Trump, and I for one have no issue with that and I hope that his presence there brought them some comfort, BUT he used video taken at Arlington in his campaign
@@vaseline69 He didnt go there to campaign and he didnt go there to politicize it. He went there to do the thing Biden should be doing, which is being there for the families.
