The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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

He just went where he was invited.
Who invited him, the families of the soldiers?
Families.

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.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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.

Thou sayest.
Tell me, were you voting for Trump? Under any circumstances?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I will tell you who I vote for when I mail in my ballot(s). LOL

Yeah, vote early and vote often.

Eugene Robinson at WaPo: Don’t yawn at Trump’s dishonorable use of Arlington National Cemetery
Donald Trump has shown the nation, once again, that he has no shame.
You knew that, of course. But hauling a camera crew to Arlington National Cemetery and exploiting the fresh graves of heroes — using them as props in his presidential campaign — was more than a violation of the cemetery’s rules; it was more, even, than a violation of federal law. It was a deeply dishonorable act by a shockingly dishonorable man.Just because we are accustomed to this kind of behavior from Trump does not mean we should accept it. Just because he has no sense of honor or appreciation of sacrifice does not mean we have to pretend honor and sacrifice no longer exist. Just because “Trump is an awful person” is an old story does not mean we should yawn at this latest demonstration and quickly move on.

@George-K A serving Commander in Chief honoring fallen vets is quite different from an aspirant for office exploiting them during a campaign.
Maybe the gap would close a bit had Obama done that in September of 2012, but on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 it was the right thing to do. Indeed, imagine the reaction of the RWEC had he not done something like that.
DON’T let them eat cake.
