I hate to go there. But the family that invited trump to go to Arlington. Why?

[tulipsandroses]

Were they already in touch with trump? Did trump reach out to them?
I'm curious about how this invite came about.
Given his recent statements about veterans, were they trying to help his image?
Or was he just using them as usual, the way he does with families of murder victims?
Did they just feel like he really cared, to invite him to such an event?

1. because they are happy to have their dead family member offered up as a trump campaign stunt. nt

[brewens]

2. That's what I've been asking. I bet the campaign contacted them and got Trump invited. Maybe it would occur

to them to ask if they were in the cult but I bet not.

6. The trump campaign probably contacted them and arranged the whole thing.

Scheduled events for the Cemetery ca be easily accessed.

And the sociopath that is trump, saw nothing wrong with desecrating Arlington Nat'l Cemetery for a campaign photo op.

I hear his people even had a physical altercation with and Arlington official who objected to the desecration.

They're just fascist bullies operating straight out of Hitler Brownshirt's playbook.

3. I think it was the mother...

She was interviewed on NBC Nightly News. She said Biden murdered her child (U.S. military service member) with Afghanistan withdraw.

So, that gives something to interpret and read into. Very Maga vibes. So, everyone had something to gain with this stunt.

[Pinback]

7. Yeah, the troop withdrawal that Trump set in motion.

Reminder that MAGAts aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.

[tulipsandroses]

12. Ahh. I see. Makes sense now.

I wonder if she would have blamed trump if her child died when he was still president?
It is unfortunate that she doesn't realize that trump does not give a damn about her dead child.

4. My guess would be that the campaign went looking for a family

that would invite him. The timing is just too coincidental after his Medal of Honor comments and him trying to use Afghanistan as a campaign issue.

[Girard442]

5. They could just be full-on MAGAs.

Having a tragic loss doesn't automatically turn people into saints.

[stopdiggin]

8. the exploitation (including that of the fallen's memory and service )

goes in both directions. Everyone involved in this travesty deserves a heaping helping of shame. Disgusting!

[Mysterian]

9. Because they're deranged, soulless cultists?

Just a guess.

[magicarpet]

11. From the families responses in the photos,...

.... these families and relatives seem very pro trDUMP. Even one family did the goulish ear to ear smile and robust thumbs up sign. Who would ever do that at a loved one's grave site ?

They probably look upon it as a total honor to be in the company of such a rich and famous person as trDUMP. And a selfie to take home to gloat and brag about at church, in town, and with your family/friends.

Such a wonderful wonderful and exciting thrill.

[Emile]

13. Instead of blaming Republicans for starting the unnecessary war that killed

their family member, they blame Joe Biden for ending it.

[RockRaven]

14. Some people are pieces of shit whether or not they've got a dead family member.

[Klarkashton]

15. Clearly the Trump campaign set the whole fucking thing

Up.
It would be just like them to bull their way in with no regard for the rules.

What were the chances that two big maga families
Would be there at exactly the same time without total coordination.
