Discussion: Saturday Surprise: Trump Makes Unscheduled Visit To Arlington Cemetery

What a patriot! Did he ride the golf cart around knowing how adverse he is to walking? Wait, it was probably raining there today, how was this possible?

His mere presence desecrates those hallowed grounds. How dare he.

Hope he didn’t go near my Uncle’s grave.

I had exactly that image in my head but because I am doing this via my phone I couldn’t cut and paste… :laughing:

This fucker still hasn’t had the guts to go to a war zone where Americans are stationed or fighting. He hasn’t gone on a surprise visit to see the troops like every other modern-day American President. Holidays have come and gone and he still doesn’t seem to give a shit, like he just doesn’t care to see it as part of his job. He’s a self-centered prick with no knowledge of history or tradition. As for any attempts at being a morale booster to the troops…its probably for the best that he doesn’t bother at this point. He’d just fuck that up too, mostly by talking about himself. We’ve seen how he handles natural disasters. Visiting the troops probably wouldn’t go over that well either, even a captive audience like they would have to be for their CIC.

How many minutes did he spend at Arlington? Five? Ten? Probably just long enough to get a photo snapped for twitter, and then off to the links.

What you did was important. Don’t let Fat Nixon ruin it for you - he’ll probably never return, but the families of our departed soldiers appreciate what you do there.

And remembering one of the departed as a person and not as just another statistic is also of value.

The Baltimore Washington area has broken the record for the most rain in a year in recorded history. The last time I heard about a month ago, we were two feet of rain over average - and this storm is expected to drop another 2 to 3 inches.

I think trump went to Arlington because he had nothing else to do and just decided to play tourist. Not that he gives a shit about anyone buried there.

I think you misspelled divot.

That’s Cadet Bone Spurs. He was never in the military, thus couldn’t be a Private. He was such an incorrigible fuckup his parents sent him to military school, where he was called a cadet, and that’s the only uniform he ever wore.

I hope they counted the wreaths after he left. He owns a big hotel in the area.

It is too late - That hollow stunk won’t redeem Donald Trump for inexcusably skipping out on the 100 year WWI ceremony with our allies in Europe or even bothering to visit the graves of our fallen on Veterans Day.

And reruns of the FOX and Friends shows DVR’s where they kiss his ass the most.

And here is the photo from his visit. Notice how the AP had note that Trump walks with an umbrella? They should have added “And see he can hold his own umbrella, what good boy he is.”

No word on what happened to the umbrella when he had to get back into the car.

That’s precisely the historical analogy I thought of.

And just to cross the t’s I’m sure we both would add it’s more congruent than actually similar, in the profound futility of thinking there’s any way what was done could be cleaned up with these feeble efforts. Obviously there’s no comparison between the events as a whole.
