    It won’t die because there’s no way in hell he will let it die. The man does not understand rule number one of getting out of a hole.

    He wants to destroy us from within, but I just do not think this will pan out for him very well. Whoever is controlling him must be enjoying the show either way, which is how we all lose here.

    Giving a smirking thumb’s up beside a soldier’s grave would have ended any other politician’s run for office.

    In case this isn’t obvious, the Army generally goes out of its way to avoid issuing provocative statements related to politicians, especially during a campaign, but in this case, the branch made an exception.

  6. Dominating the news cycle used to be such an asset for this pants filling insane racist piece of shit.

    Things done changed.

  7. Trump needs to learn humility, admit his mistake, and move on.

    But, it seems he’s incapable of even that act of human decency. Instead he’s blaming Arlington National Cemetary, the professional who worked there, and now the Secretary of the Army. Trump’s a tool.

  8. “He’s great. He’s good. He knows exactly what I’m talking about,” Donald Trump said about his ally Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who is Black and spoke at his rally.“That one is smart,” Trump added. “You have smart ones and you have some that aren’t quite so good.”

    Always the victim.

    I’m a victim because I had a little bit of fun with a 13 year old, Epstein said it was nothing, and it was years ago and you’re just reporting on it to hurt me.

    I refuse to believe that Trump has a good chance of winning in 2024.

    No fucking way he does better than he did in 2020. It’s just not possible.

    And if he does, even if it’s a close loss for him, something is TERRIBLY WRONG with this country if Trump doesn’t lose by a land slide.

  11. The key to this whole thing is the visual evidence. With anything that spills out of his mouth, MAGA will try to say he was just joking, or he didn’t mean it like that, or it’s just fake news. Anything to avoid approaching the idea that Trump is a shitbag who regularly trashes the military and insults soldiers and veterans alike.

    But a photo of him grinning and flashing a tacky thumps up next to a place of solemn remembrance is scummy in a way that’s impossible to deny. Especially since the Trump Campaign seems insistent on doubling down with arguing they did nothing wrong and the Army is in fact at fault. And MAGA is stuck having to spin their wheels justifying how the left is overreacting but man they wish Trump could stop talking about this.

    It’s disgusting that he has to keep doing stupid stuff related to the issue to keep it an issue. This one thing should sink him forever as a viable candidate for commander in chief. It shouldn’t require him to keep blundering.

    The media has decided it’s a “Her Emails” story, too suitable an illustration of something about a public figure – in Trump’s case, his galloping boorish narcissism – to let slide. This has legs, and is a real threat to Trump.

  14. He said he didn’t know the rules.
    The President, the Commander in Chief, didn’t know the rules at Arlington.

    [DARVO](https://www.banyantherapy.com/darvo/) is an acronym for “deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender”. [It is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.](https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html). It is also a tactic used to gaslight and deflect to avoid being held accountable.

    ********

    DARVO is an acronym for a response observed in many guilty people when accused of misconduct. It stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim-Offender. DARVO is a clear and simple pattern that you will see everywhere once you learn to identify it, like the Fibonacci sequence of aggressors.

    ********

    DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers: deny the abuse, then attack the victim for attempting to make them accountable for their offense, thereby reversing victim and offender.

    ********

    Actual abusers threaten, bully and make a nightmare for anyone who holds them accountable or asks them to change their abusive behavior. This attack, intended to chill and terrify, typically includes threats of law suits, overt and covert attacks on the whistle-blower’s credibility, and so on. The attack will often take the form of focusing on ridiculing the person who attempts to hold the offender accountable.

    ********

    The offender rapidly creates the impression that the abuser is the wronged one, while the victim or concerned observer is the offender. The offender is on the offense and the person attempting to hold the offender accounts is put on the defense.

  16. At this point, he and his inner circle should be charged for several things.

    Trump, his campaign, and everyone around him just think it’s a cemetery. Just a cemetery that they can take a walk-through and do whatever they want in. They truly do not understand, honor, dignity, sacrifice or duty. They believe it is something that is far below them.

  18. Talking about Hacks, it’s funny you bring that up.
    Take a good look 👀

    Decent people would have apologized to the worker and to the families.

  20. But the part where he broke federal law is not going to have any consequences at all?

  21. Ugh why does everything about this prick have to be bad.. a scandal.. something disgusting.. .something criminal.

    Cant I wake up once.. just once to see “Trump extending LGBTQ rights” or “J D Vance dissmisses Florida’s 10 commandments in school classrooms” I dunno. I mean something for the people something good and you know its real its gonna happen.. its just too much to ask isnt it.

    People… He’s just being weird, and hoping the media focuses his way. That’s all he wants, and it’s working. Ignore the weird fella.

    He really is the perfect asset for a foreign power to control. His cult following combed with his Faberge egg fragile like ego means he shits on every us institution, and he supporters lap it up. Defund the doj, defund education, dishonor Arlington… He’s basically tearing things down from the inside, to the rapturous applause of a huge % of the population.

    Easily resolved. We sincerely apologize. We were wrong and it should have never happened. I’ll take any wager that’s not what happens. ANY WAGER!!
