Summary: The Trump team breaks the law by taking pictures and video in Arlington National Cemetery for his political campaign which is against federal law. The Trump staff gets into an altercation with a cemetery staff member who attempts to stop them. 'Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries.' 'The cemetery said it “reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants” which includes “photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign.”' Not content to merely call our soldiers "suckers and losers"; Trump is now using their graves as campaign props. Dishonoring all of these veterans. Trump thinks he is above the law, but this is something we knew already. Using the graves of our military dead as campaign props is something which should disqualify him from holding office.

They're dead in the first place because Biden/Harris didn't take the military's advice on a safe Afghanistan pullout. Why weren't they there like Trump was?

This event included family members...They invited Trump to lay the reef Then they took pictures....The left is making an issue of it
The veterans and Arlington National Cemetery is MAKING an issue of it. The Trump campaign was told in advance to not hold campaign events at a national military cemetery and doing so violates federal law. Nevertheless, Trump does not give a f@ck about the law and went ahead and did it anyway.
This was not a campaign event My god, It was a memorial Why did Harris/Biden dishonor are deaths of the soliders
It was a campaign event -- not a memorial. Trump brought all of his campaign photographers and videographers along to record the campaign event. Complete with a thumbs up by Trump.
