@SW-User I just wonder something though - would it be safe for us to assume that tRump is full of himself? 🤔

What's with the Thumbs up?

I also read the staff was very disrespectful to one of the graveyard workers, because photo's are not permitted in that area for use in a campaign....

@Handfull1 They just twist in the wind to serve their fee fees. It's pitiful.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Handfull1 he is likely the type that would get arrested for taking pictures under women's dresses.

This is the same issue. And has been enforced by the supreme Court itself.

You obviously are aware of the controversy regarding this photo op.

It's disappointing to see you carry the MSM's water for them. Much like anything the media reports on Trump, this story has been weaponized to paint Trump in the worst light.

Never mind he was there to honor fallen soldiers. Never mind that he took photos with supporters who lost loved ones in the military.

All that matters is some ceremonial "rule" that he violated.

Again, the families seem happy to have him there. They clearly wanted to take their picture with him next to the graves.

"Weird" is not much of a explanation of your feelings...in addition that word has also weaponized against Trump now...I wonder if you even realized that...

I think you can do better.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@independentone Yeah and thanks for proving my point.

You care about the law and propriety when it suits your political purposes. If this was the Democrats you'd be falling all over yourself defending it and justifying it.

I hope you don't have a job that requires fine detail, like proofreading, I would feel bad for your employer.
@SumKindaMunster At least I am able to work, and pay taxes so people like you can stay on welfare and play on SW all day long.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@independentone Enjoy and thanks again! 👋

He accomplished exactly what he wanted by taking advantage of a grieving family. FREE news media coverage and chaos. Is there any NEWS source that isn't covering this?

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse." But they were informed so that can't be used. He believes that he is entitled to be above the law.

I'm really surprised that he didn't hand out personally autographed Bibles, along with the bill, of course, as campaign donations!
@Shaveit You cult members can't see through the orange fog in your brain. Jim Jones also loved his cult members; to death!

It encapsulates this man perfectly.
@Ynotisay Yup.
Piper · 61-69, F
I find the photo to be both odd and disrespectful, with the big smiles and thumbs up gesture. For me anyway, visiting the grave of a loved is a solemn occasion. This would be especially true, if my loved one had died just 3 years ago.
Just another slap in the face to veterans. And taking place in section 60 as well..... totally disrespectful..!

And for you Trumpers that claim the families 'authorized' politically related photographs..... the "families" do not have the right to authorize that type of photography in section 60.... PERIOD..!
Confined · 56-60, M
Trump was invited by the families of fallen solders. The MSM made this into a political event.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@Confined "Insane claims"? The US Army's public statements re the incident.
Confined · 56-60, M
@ChipmunkErnie Once again this was reported by CNN and MSN. The department of defence says this event never happened.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Confined but my post didn’t mention politics at all. You could just answer the poll!
He's a former President, they should all be doing this until they enter hospice care.
Piper · 61-69, F
You are most definitely the one who brought up saluting, @Motzu . You:

If I ran for office as a whatever, and got photographed standing saluting iver the grave of someone I knew or didn't know, and was brought before a judge, military or not, you know what my defence would be? First Amendment.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Piper I need to remember how to post a quote. Most days I’m lucky to know my name!
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Piper @Handfull1 Trolling and trying to pose as an American while being from a foreign country is hard work. Onasander has a hard enough time trying not to give himself away by using words or phrases Americans don't use, while trying to remember his previous trolling posts. He fails, but he does give it an attempt.
Completely illegal AND disrespectful.
Carla · 61-69, F
@Motzu it isn't that he visited. He took photos where not allowed and turned it into a political stunt. Also not allowed.
65 soldiers died during trump's presidency. Has he visited even one of their graves?
@Carla It's unconsitutional to ban it in the first place. His free speech rights Trump that of co gress to legislate against it.

This also goes for laws by congress to ban people for making statements supporting their intention to run fkr high office without officially registering to do so (unconstitutional, they have a absolute right to say what they want wkthout bothering to register their intent).

You do realize the US isn't a parliamentry democracy- we have a seperation of powers, a written constitution and a bill of rights. Not every law that congress passes is constituional. Nobody is required to follow such laws. Trying to enforce such laws on someone can get you charged with false arrest and unlawful imprisonment charges, and conspiracy to violate their rights.

Orange Man Bad is NOT a valid reason to break the US Constitution.
@Motzu You have no understanding of Constitutional; you don't even know how many Constitutions we've had here in the US...
Fa8393 · 41-45, M
To me at least he is there supporting those who lost familes in wars and line of duties . I am sure who is in the picture asked him to be in it . I don't find it weird . Shows the love and respect he has for those familes . You nay sayers say what you want but your all jealous.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Fa8393 Do you think politicians should be able to use Arlington National Cemetery to make political commercials illegally when a family asks someone to honor their war dead, and instead they use it for personal political gain?
Fa8393 · 41-45, M
@windinhishair it shows he supports those families and it shows to me he loves this country . If he puts himself out there that means as his supporters will see him .
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Fa8393 What part of ILLEGAL is hard to understand? Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, and it prohibits its use for political commercials and commentary. People visiting are informed in advance, and Trump should know this by virtue of his former position. Section 60 has additional prohibitions against filming and taking photos that Trump ignored. The issue isn't that he can't be invited by a family to visit a sacred grave. It is that Trump is illegally using it for political gain.

If Trump "loves this country", he would have gone quietly and prayed with family members, instead of posing for selfies with his thumb up over the graves of heroes that he disparages and desecrates as suckers and losers.
Jake966 · 56-60, M
What’s wrong with that ? He is paying his respects
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Jake966 but you just did the exact same thing. Look within once!
Jake966 · 56-60, M
@Handfull1 Biden was on vacation and didn’t take the time to commemorate the lives lost due to his irresponsibility and Harris was too focused on her campaign and Trump gets bashed ? Really ?

Northwest · M
Yes. this is a thumbs up photo opportunity which will be replayed to the MAGAs as a campaign commercial.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Northwest and most will love it!

Meanwhile Harris has a taped interview with Timmy holding her hand
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster so Trump’s must be every 30 seconds?? Will have to pay attention! Lol
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Handfull1 What?
SW-User
@BLP11520 Imagine that! Candidate for president and vice president from one party sitting down together to answer questions! The absolute horror!
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
Why you asking?
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster ohhhh I’m your mistress now??? I kinda like that! 🤗✌🏼
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Handfull1 Whoosh! Right over your flat head.

Why do you care about things like this? Are YOU offended? Do you think the family of the fallen soldier he is taking a photo with was offended? Looks to me they are honored he is there with them.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster I’m almost never offended. It was a question!
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
I don’t get it
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Muthafukajones it was Trump visiting Arlington Cemetery. You’d probably have to live in the US or follow our news to get it.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
@Handfull1 Because he dodged the draft? I think you’re really reading too much into him.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Muthafukajones https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/29/donald-trump-arlington-cemetery-army-employee-00176729

You’d have to know the laws regarding this but honestly it was the pose that seems a bit odd to me. If you think it’s a cute family pic, vote for that!
Shaveit · 61-69, M
He was invited by a family of the deceased.
That is why he was there.
