The Devil Went Down to Arlington | Opinion

To commemorate Labor Day, Donald Trump took his campaign crew to the graves of recently fallen American heroes at Arlington National Cemetery, those suckers and losers whose bone spurs did not exempt them from service.

Federal law prohibits all political campaign stunts on such sacred hallowed ground: "Memorial services and ceremonies at Army National Military Cemeteries will not include partisan political activities."

Team Trump says the families invited them to take photos at the graves. Since when can families waive federal law?

Trump’s grinning “thumbs up” photo by a dead soldier’s grave looks bad enough, but Trump posting it all over social media looks illegal, and it goes from bad to worse. When a cemetery employee tried to intervene, s/he was shoved by a member of Trump’s team and belittled as having “mental health” issues. Apparently, the mere suggestion that federal law applies to Trump deserves its own DSM category…

The Trump team claims they have video footage to prove the employee wasn’t shoved. If that were true, wouldn’t Trump have blasted it all over the internet by now?

Most of all, how can Trump blame the Vice President for the withdrawal from Afghanistan, when he’s the one who negotiated with the Taliban instead of the Afghan government, then reduced U.S. troops from 10,000 down to 2,500 without consulting military experts, leaving the withdrawal chaotic and understaffed?

It looks like Trump deliberately sabotaged America’s peaceful withdrawal, and is now banking on America’s short memory to blame it all on Harris.
