He was, however poorly he performed, in the TX Air National Guard. niyad Sep 2020 #42

I guess he was in the military for a minute. jimfields33 Sep 2020 #58

I think it makes sense. The thought of Trump being buried there (despite the relief of his passing) hlthe2b Sep 2020 #2

Clinton, Obama and a potential Biden would not be allowed there either. former9thward Sep 2020 #33

I suspect all three would prefer a personal burial--as on the grounds of Presidential library hlthe2b Sep 2020 #37

JFK and Taft were special cases, anyway. LuvNewcastle Sep 2020 #48

Somehow I doubt any of them have plans for that. whopis01 Sep 2020 #47

Alive? Silent3 Sep 2020 #30

dotard should consider cremation...what people have done to his Hollywood Star..that is minor Thekaspervote Sep 2020 #7

I picture him going the Lenin route Siwsan Sep 2020 #10

Very good, we need to keep start and keep removing symbolic power associated with the president ck4829 Sep 2020 #13

Before 2016, Trump stated he wanted to be buried at his golf course in Bedminster, NJ. no_hypocrisy Sep 2020 #14

Besides, Who Wants Him Buried In Their Neighborhood? smb Sep 2020 #22

Not sure it's necessary but i'm fine with it . JI7 Sep 2020 #19

Trump should be buried in a bottomless pit of bodily excretions. milestogo Sep 2020 #21

So, at RNC headquarters? Siwsan Sep 2020 #26

He's a stinker so that would be befitting!... Illumination Sep 2020 #39

I am sure Trump has something large and gaudy in mind TNNurse Sep 2020 #24

Think 'Lenin's Tomb' at Mara Largo Siwsan Sep 2020 #31

Is there gold on Lenin's Tomb??? TNNurse Sep 2020 #62

Probably not. But it will be 'Fool's Gold' on trump*'s, so...... Siwsan Sep 2020 #63

Expect the United Daughters of the Confederacy to offer him a monument with a crypt. NCjack Sep 2020 #29

You are right, but a restriction for Trump is not needed... TomVilmer Sep 2020 #55

I noted a recent change when I attended my brother-in-law gravesite. His head stone say Vietnam! usaf-vet Sep 2020 #57

Wives of servicemen are commonly buried in National Cemeteries MineralMan Sep 2020 #53

They will have to put at least 100' of landscape fabric and crushed limestone around Trump's grave Botany Sep 2020 #45

ABSOLUTELY!!! There are no losers or suckers at Arlington. Let's not allow tRump to be the first. usaf-vet Sep 2020 #49

My Dad was in President Truman's Marine Honor Guard. No doubt he took part in services Siwsan Sep 2020 #50

Will that include any president who isn't a combat veteran? sarge43 Sep 2020 #52

Most Presidents don't choose an Arlington burial so I think this is aimed specifically at trump* Siwsan Sep 2020 #56

That's what I'm thinking - politics. sarge43 Sep 2020 #59

I'd rather not complicate anything to do with Trump's swift burial. Gidney N Cloyd Sep 2020 #54
