Never ending bullshit. The campaign arranged the wreath laying. The campaign got the Speaker of the House to bulldoze the Army into allowing it. The campaign argued with and shoved an ANC employee who tried to stop them. Donald Trump owns this and now his slimey bootlicker LaCivita is the taunting the Army for backing down. Enough is enough. Congress must investigate. This isnt just a base. We all have friends and family buried there. Its not up to them.

Trump is now claiming the video from Arlington are a setup by the administration, despite the fact they were posted by his own campaigns TikTok page. This is just another pathetic attempt to dodge accountability. He lies, disrespects our fallen, and then blames everyone else.

(102,793 posts)The part where he's deemed brain dead?
Good grief.
2naSalit
(102,793 posts)He's never been in the position where he couldn't bluster and bully his way out of consequence, ever. This is the time he has to employ every last tactic to get away with his criminality. I'm surprised he hasn't actually started fake crying with forced tears yet.

(22,695 posts)The "administration" made a campaign video for Trump just to make him look bad? He need no help in that area.

(2,740 posts)If he is actually trying to say this. Its just doing more damage. I think this is the death nail because its completely insane.

birdographer
(2,937 posts)They believe this 100% (oh sorry, or is it 107%?) and it just riles them up that their genius leader could be unknowingly coerced into this. The vengeful anger those cult members carry around must be almost unbearable. If only they weren't stupid and in need of a dominant male to submit to.

(13,291 posts)He is the World's Greatest Victim, according to him. He does not admit to making mistakes. Everything is the fault of someone else. He doesn't even know the people who are standing next to him in photographs.
Let's pretend, for a moment, that everything he says is true. He was asked by the families (with tears in their eyes, of course) to join them in a photograph. Nothing, however, explains why he is standing in Section 60 -- the most sacred space of a sacred monument -- with a thumb's up.

It happened but we were set up. By next week, it will probably go back to didnt happen.
This is a similar path for his take on January 6th.

obamanut2012
(29,369 posts)None died in combat, but all served in combat, both Pacific and European theaters, in the Battle of the Bulge and on LSTs driving the launches full of personnel to the beaches of so many Pacific islands. In Burma and other places working in the early OSS and trying to save lives through spycraft.
Fuck these monsters.
Klarkashton
(5,293 posts)Who posted his campaign video. "I didn't do it"
He went on to throw the families under the bus about it "it might of been the families I don't know"
Now this bullshit.
orwell
(8,003 posts)...The same people he has always fooled.
The bigots,
the angry aggrieved snowflakes,
the "moral" evangelicals,
the party "loyalists",
the sociopathic billionaires, (although I suspect they are in on the grift),
the terrified old people fearing the brown hoards.
It's the same old song and dance, spewed by a clown, sound and fury signifying nothing.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste...

(5,346 posts)That way if the 6 butt kissers on the SC try to install him against the majority of the people's will, the military won't be willing to help him or his enablers.

(2,937 posts)I had thought that all the MAGAts who had just a molecule of critical thinking had peeled off, and what he had left was the hardcore rotten center of his base, the worst of the worst. But I am thinking that just possibly this stunt has caused a few of the veterans in that core to have second thoughts. With luck, he has lost more voters.

(5,913 posts)Did Joe tell him to do that? How exactly were they set up? Yep, try and shift blame the old GOP standby. It is just like when they blame single moms for the budget deficit and never mention the wealthy arms dealer investors, not the greedy big pharma owners.
kimbutgar
(27,248 posts)Of course the outrage from all of us got him more exposure on his fake care for dead veterans who he called suckers and losers. I hope the Harris media team has a good smack back ad.

MorbidButterflyTat
(4,512 posts)He self soothes with lying bullshit and he doesn't care who believes him, because his boot lickers reinforce him and post ridiculous garbage on his stolen twitter platform, with stupid idiotic mash ups of fictional super heroes that feed his bottomless narcissism.
I remember when he and his crew did the "Winter is Coming," from Game of Thrones.
His fake tough guy crap at Arlington didn't result in the adoring accolades he expected from veterans or military personnel, so now his booboo ego needs to pretend the fallout is someone else's fault, because it's ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.
