I was surprised to see Trump doing this.
Struck me as a cheap photo-op.
"Lookat meee! I care."
Has any POTUS or VPOTUS done anything like this before this week? AFAIK, Trump didn't 2 years ago, or 1 year ago..

These deaths are politically useful to him now in a way they weren’t last year. Next year they won’t be politically useful to him and he won’t visit.
Also, contrary to the original tweet, Trump will in fact forget them by mid November if not sooner.

He just went where he was invited.
Since Biden had a hand in killing them, was he not invited? Or did his vacation plans interfere?

Who invited him, the families of the soldiers?

Maybe the reason it's so hard to focus on policy rather than personality....

I wouldn't trust a thing NPR sez...
Pentagon confirms.
"We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed," the statement read.
"Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign," it added. "Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants."

Spits out morning coffee.
I'm sorry, did you say you were surprised to see this? If so, I have a video of Trump holding up a bible.

Trump’s motorcade hurt him in NOVA. They shut down all of the East/West corridors (7, Dulles Toll Road, and 66) because the GW Parkway is under construction. It shutdown traffic completely for 30 minutes in the middle of rush hour…It could have been better planned.

Was that also the trip he took to the Eden Center to mingle with the Vietnamese population? He was along with Hung Cao (pronounced Hung Cow), and my favorite part was Trump saying "Great name. Hung cow. How can he lose with a name like that?"

Unlike Harris, Trump can be spontaneously funny, which is a sign of wit and intelligence.

Still waiting for the President Trump campaign to release video which they say proves they were in the right.

That's what I tell my wife. I won't tell you what her response is in case children or sensitive people are reading.

Keep waiting. I suspect that Trump is not trying to appeal to your type of voter.

That is his current problem and dilemma. Currently, he is appealing to voters who are already going to vote for him.
IF he doesn't change his strategy, he will lose the election.
