I couldn't watch the whole thing.
But 3 things I picked up on.
The President' desk is in the oval office.
He totally dissed all the American war deaths who aren't in Arlington Cemetery ...
such as the one in Normandy France where we landed @on D-Day 1944.
Or a cemetery in Meadville, PA where a friend's brother if buried (Vietnam).
He always makes everything about himself.

Wonder what tunes the musicians will play?

(5,810 posts)Where are soldiers are buried, I said out loud, "Never been to Normandy, eh?" Well, I have and it is an affront to the soldiers who died there to suggest thst somehow Arlington is special, more than any other final resting place on earth.

(204,687 posts)He apparently never took a history course in his life. Despite having been born right after WWII, I guess nobody thought to mention it and since he wasn't there, it didn't happen. It doesn't speak much for his "best" education. When I took World History in 10th grade, WWI and WWII were considered kind of important. And those who lived through them, like my grandparents, thought to mention them.
