  3. Too many vets are voting for him, sad to say. Not horrified enough I guess.

  4. JFC. It’s one blunder after another with him, and yet it’s STILL probably gonna be way too close to a tie come November. Where is the line?! Is there even a line anymore?! Are all his followers insane?! He just denigrated vets like a week ago with his asinine medal of honor comments, what more do we need?! If Biden did anything even CLOSE to the shit Trump has done (& continues to do) these same people would have an absolute conniption.

  7. Trump doesn’t get how reverence and decorum work

  10. Let’s be clear. SOME veterans took issue with this incident. Veterans who support him think this is just so much liberal handwringing bullshit designed to smear him. That’s the problem. This doesn’t move the needle an inch. His supporters love him, not America.

  11. A fallen hero‘s grave (known to Trump as a loser and a sucker) should not be the place to take a photo op for political gain unless your actually mourning them which obviously isn’t true for him because Trump isn’t capable of being remorsefu.

  13. Veteran here. He’s the most disgraceful person in America.

  14. This veteran was horrified of trump before this incident.

  15. I’m not a veteran. I’m not affiliated with the military in any capacity. I am a common-ass civilian. This still pisses me off. One thing that should be a career-ending offense for a presidential candidate is to disrespect sacred institutions, and Arlington National Cemetery is one of the most sacred of all.

  16. Oh now they are horrified by Trump’s behavior? Have they not been paying attention it has been obvious since 2016 how he feels about soldiers and veterans. Called them suckers and losers, made fun of a Gold Star family, just an abominable attitude for someone who was and wants to be again the Commander in Chief.

  17. Yet will still vote for him because somehow he loves the troops and democrats hate them 🤷‍♂️

  19. Trump genuinely hates military members and veterans.

  21. Some yes, some no.

    There are veterans who believe Trump is a war hero. Let that sink in.

  22. Veterans who are republicans will vote for him anyways, sadly.

  23. The double standard will live on. This would be a major scandal for any other politician but Trump is worshipped like a holy man and can do no wrong as far as his followers are concerned.

  24. Trump hates anyone who served in the military. He can’t understand why someone would do so. He also tried to shred the Constitution and overturn the United States Government.

    Yet, there are service members, who have pledged to uphold the Constitution, who will vote for someone who will discard it. I guess they consider their loyalty to Trump mor important than their loyalty their oath or the Constitution.

  25. For any undecided veterans, I hope this paints an ubundantly clear picture of just how absolutely vile and disrespectful this ‘person’ is.

  26. Everyone should be horrified. This is not a veterans thing, this is an American thing. Every one of us should be horrified. Right after his fucking thumbs up at the Marines’ grave. This motherfucker…

  27. Fine, I’ll say it.
    Fuck those family members.. how dare you abuse your lost bloodline that way. For them to sacrifice everything, to be honored to be layed and praised in our most sacred burial ground.

    So some orange fk can thumbs up at your grave.

  29. He really deserves his own level in Dante’s Inferno.

  30. A lot of veterans won’t even know this happened. I work for the military. Most of them just bragged about how “Biden wasn’t even asked to be there”

  31. I can confirm this. He has crossed the line, like beyond the line like out of bounds over the line . Weirdo loser

  32. Yet they will still vote for him. Go figure.

    This guy should NOT EVEN BE ON THE TICKET

  33. Didn’t Trump get a bunch of US military intelligence assets killed? He doesn’t respect or understand anything. It’s a weird double edged sword where it makes him an incredibly confident criminal but basically bad at everything else.

  34. Let’s see how horrified veterans will be when they vote. Vote blue!

  35. “I wish Trump would thumbs up next to my grave.”

    -an uncomfortable number of veterans

  36. But they will still vote for him because some single issue reason.

  37. Ok Veterans, yet you voted for him in 2020. Still horrified, translate that in to your vote against him!

  38. Yeah, horrified all the way to the voting booth. 40% of the country thinks this guy has led a flawless life. Vote.

  40. I am a veteran and was out after his McCain comments. The man is a chickenhawk and has no right to comment on anyone who served honorably.

  41. I don’t really understand why anyone backs Trump. I am also a veteran and I continue to work closely with both veterans and active-duty and I super super duper don’t understand the backing of Trump. That man, not Biden, set up the disastrous conditions for our Afghanistan withdrawal, which cost service member lives.

    He has absolute contempt for anyone he has served in the military- seeing them as losers and chumps. He isn’t going to do a single thing to make life better for anyone in the military.

  42. I mean trump doesn’t care about veterans, veterans support trump bc they believe in what he stands for but everyone knows if you are injured and hurt the Republican Party doesn’t care. Just look how hard Jon Stewart had to fight for veterans to get medical care for burn pits. Ted Cruz was high fiving his buddies when he axed the deal

  44. My uncle fought in Vietnam and is a Trump MAGA cult member. I asked him at lunch today how he felt and he said…”it would be a honor for President Trump to stand on my grave and give a thumbs up”. His cult is delusional
