“'I don’t think I can adequately explain what a massive deal it is for the Army to make a statement like this,' political writer and veteran Allison Gill of Mueller, She Wrote, noted. 'The Pentagon avoids statements like this at all costs. But a draft dodging traitor decided to lie about our armed forces staff, so they went to paper.'”

"The law aside, only a gross lack of manners, decency and humility could incline a person to film a fundraising appeal over the resting places of dead men and women who cannot decline to participate in the coarse spectacle. The photo of a grinning Trump giving a jaunty thumbs up over these patriots’ graves is an indelible image of narcissism risen to the point of sociopathy."

"There’s nothing funny about Trump’s desecration of Arlington National Cemetery. Except perhaps the image of clueless Trump smiling like a moron giving the thumbs up in front of row upon row of the grave markers of fallen warriors. I mean, it’s deeply offensive. Repugnant in the extreme."

"But it’s also the kind of dark cutting commentary on Trump’s zero I.Q. vileness that the best parodists in the world would be hard-pressed to imagine. He does this kind of thing alot, by the way. It’s because he is a monstrous person."

"It took real courage for the Arlington National Cemetery employee to try to enforce the rules in the face of Trump campaign threats and bullying. It’s understandable that she wasn’t willing to file a police report. It’s very possible that wouldn’t have ended well for her."

"And that’s the real story—that private citizens are afraid to do the right thing because the Republican nominee to be president of the United States is a low-life criminal who doesn’t care what happens to anybody but him—as long as he gets his way."

Thanks for posting these two articles—the truth of this shameful action reveals the offensive nature of trump’s determination to desecrate our war heroes in pursuit of a photo op with which to bash his opponent.
The Army is to be commended for its statement in support of those who are unable to speak for themselves as well as its ANC employee.Ps—trump’s offer of video (thru bully Cheung) got me thinking that there are probably cameras all over ANC that certainly captured this horror show on tape.

@bronakins I'm glad you found them as worthwhile as I did. I agree: the Army deserves credit for speaking out unambiguously and defending its maligned and threatened employee. I think you may be right about cameras at ANC.

@FoucPerotin I suspect because he has no moral center and is a bottomless well of self-regard, the ideas just cycle through his head constantly, without critique or rationality.
