Even the most fervent Trump cultist must have felt a little queasy seeing the former president using a grave at Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop, standing there with his Cheshire Cat grin and his thumbs up gesture.

Anyone?

Trump has a checkered past with the military and veterans. He was accused by those formerly close to him of dodging the Vietnam War draft by making up an injury. He’s also disparaged the intelligence of service members and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, The Atlantic reported during his presidency.

Among the most damning alleged comments revealed in that report was that Trump referred to the more than 1,800 Marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood — a deadly WWI battle — as “suckers” for getting killed. In a separate conversation on the matter, he reportedly referred to soldiers killed in action as “losers.”

“Why should I go to that cemetery?” he was accused of saying. “It’s filled with losers.”


BTW, there are strict regulations against using Arlington National Cemetery as a photo-op.

Why anyone would continue to support this POS is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

But I guess that's why they call it a cult.
