Trump is at Arlington National Cemetery? I don't know why.

[shockey80]

Every soldier buried in that sacred place just rolled over in their grave. I am a veteran, I am sick to my stomach. Please end this nightmare soon.

[Loge23]

1. Staking out a site?

His very presence defiles the ground.

[MyOwnPeace]

25. Oh, SNAP!!!!!!!

I've been elsewhere today - so slow on the response - I was gonna' say the very same thing!
Probably some "regulation" (that I'm sure he'd try to have overturned) that doesn't allow 40-foot TRUMP signs on the site.

[allgood33]

31. In the rain??? Must be his double.

[Martin Eden]

34. Will dancing be allowed?

If not, how about pissing on his grave?

[roamer65]

2. Probably to survey it as a golf course.

[Glamrock]

3. For show.

Mark my fucking words, before the week is out, FOX anchors will be saying, "see? He respects our troops regardless of the holiday. Obama only prtended to care on Veterans day! "

The news this week was damning. He's just trying to shore up the base with this stunt. Probably Hannity's fucking idea....

4. National Wreaths Across America Day.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. It says that "Wreath Day" is more important than 100th year Veterans Day.

Wreaths are more important than veterans. The latter are a continual drain on the Build-the-Wall fund.

[catbyte]

24. Huh?!? Not every veteran even celebrated Christmas. Seriously, what's the point?

Maybe I'm getting cranky in my old age, but I would think that money would be better spent on living veterans rather than deceased ones who couldn't care less.

[pecosbob]

5. Pissing on veterans' graves no doubt...

[lpbk2713]

6. They would have to put a fence around his grave.

Topped with razor wire. Just to keep people (like myself) from pissing on it.

[LakeSuperiorView]

15. Aha! The real reason that he wants to develop a 30' see through fence.

Chain link won't stop anyone from pissing through it. I just want the nearest place that serves cheap beer. Just think of it, having people happy to buy the worst beer you can find...

[Totally Tunsie]

17. The tRump Crime Family has probably already purchased the rights to all

such locations along his infamous wall. The more you drink, the more his pockets are lined. He'll probably also have a bail service lined up for all those driving over the booze limit. Leave no stone unturned if your name be tRump!

[politicaljunkie41910]

19. To feed off your signature line; Trump only has to mention a lie ONCE,

and his woefully ignorant base will.... hear it, believe it, tell their spouse and children, relatives and neighbors, and repeat it forever without even bothering to check out its accuracy.

[MiniMe]

33. That is a wall I would be willing to pay for

President Trump is making an unscheduled visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where volunteers led by Wreaths Across America are placing wreaths on headstones.

Pool about 1:45 p.m. loaded into vans and motorcade departed South Lawn at 2:09 p.m. Pool did not see POTUS at departure. It is raining, overcast and 53 degrees in Washington.

Motorcade arrived at Arlington cemetery at 2:18 p.m.

Pool was instructed not to file report of president’s movement until he arrived at Arlington.

[Grasswire2]

8. He's there in the rain...

...but the press did not see him?

Hmmmmm.

[erronis]

10. I thought he would melt in the rain. Hoping!

[Yonnie3]

13. They didn't see him at the White House end of the trip.

I'm sure there will be a photo op at the Cemetery.

Ah yes. 14 minutes of it.

Trump stepped out of SUV at 2:21 p.m. in dark suit, overcoat and red and white striped tie, holding black umbrella in steady rain.
Ground is muddy and Trump appeared to be wearing brown waterproof boots.
Trump was greeted by two military men in camouflage fatigues and was guided by woman in green raincoat and gray hat. They walked along a row of tombstones with wreaths, chatting out of earshot of pooler.
No remarks other than “They’re doing a great job.” He appeared to spend a lot of time listening to his guide (pool does not have her name).
Trump then talked about expanding Arlington cemetery property and took one question on health care court decision. Quotes to come but pooler had to run to van.
Departing Arlington at 2:35 p.m.

[spooky3]

22. It's cold and rainy. Ha! Record rainfall in the area this year. Is God(dess) crying? nt

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Photo Op!!!

[leanforward]

11. Any details as to where in Arlington?

Probably sightseeing. It is/or has been raining.

No walkabouts for him.

Yeah, you are not the only one that wants this current donald nightmare to end.

When visiting Arlington, you walkabout, no matter the weather. Hat off, no umbrella.

[leanforward]

12. Sorry, Wreaths across America.

Will he get wet?

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. I'm with you shockey.

I served in the Army during the Vietnam Era and actually lived and worked next to Arlington Cemetery (Fort Myer) during that time. The thought of that traitor strutting around that place acting like some patriotic hero makes me sick.

[keithbvadu2]

35. "A great and very brave soldier"

"A great and very brave soldier"

[Elwood P Dowd]

37. Yep, on the Howard Stern Show.

[FakeNoose]

18. He's leaving town for a 2-week vacay in Florida

... so I guess he wants to make a good impression before he goes. (?)

[Totally Tunsie]

20. That's hallowed ground and tRump doesn't deserve the right to walk it.

He dishonors all that he comes in contact with.

As a U.S. taxpayer, I say to him: "GET OFF MY LAWN!"

[pdsimdars]

21. Looking for dinner?

Are there any more military heroes he can suck the life out of?

[First Speaker]

23. Maybe it's the only way he can get a date...

[louis-t]

26. He's probably lost.

[George II]

27. Today is "Wreaths Across America Day", where volunteers put holiday wreaths on graves at Arlington..

...and other National Cemeteries.

[Paladin]

28. All the graves I could see already had wreaths on them.

Hundreds and hundreds of them.

This is just another deflection maneuver by trump, because of the unbelievably shitty week he's had. I didn't see him piss on any of those military gravesites---but he might as well have. I am so sick and fed up with this country's scumbag leadership.

[ToxMarz]

29. Did he died?

[madamesilverspurs]

30. One way or the other.

.

[NBachers]

32. He's there to dig up the foreign-born Killed in Action vets and deport their remains.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Next time he needs a picture of him at a vet cemetery in the rain, he'll have one.

Its all theatrics with that motherfucker.

[appleannie1943]

38. It was a 15 minute photo op.

[smirkymonkey]

40. It sickens me that he uses this hallowed ground for a photo op.

There is no low to which he will not sink. Just when I think I can't be more disgusted by his actions, he outdoes himself.

[appleannie1943]

43. I doubt it was even his idea. He could care less about wreaths on tombstones.

Someone convinced him he needed to do it to show the world how much he cares about our troops and take the attention off all his crimes. And we all know he can't even walk across the street without a car and they don't allow golf carts in cemeteries so it could not have been his idea. The whole bunch of them are scum.

[Takket]

39. well this certainly makes up for shitting all over the troops all year

[nitpicker]

44. That's why

Trying to make up for the optics of his visit to France.

[MFM008]

41. He doesnt know

Why he's there either.........

[Basement Beat]

42. lol!!! The comments on this thread is hilarious.
