‘Suckers,’ ‘Losers,’ Jokes About Medals: Trump Doesn’t Understand the Military
On Monday, former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign photographed an event at Arlington National Cemetery, treating the burial grounds as a political venue despite federal laws expressly barring such behavior.
A “verbal and physical altercation” reportedly took place during a wreath-laying ceremony when Trump’s staffers tried to enter the area of the cemetery reserved for recently deceased service members.
The incident, which created a firestorm, is part of a broader pattern. Trump has for years demonstrated a flippant attitude toward veterans and a general lack of knowledge about military history.
