Who cares? That place is full of LOSERS and SUCKERS and Veterans and Military Personnel would HIGHLY AGREE WITH ME otherwise they wouldn’t LOVE TRUMP so much!

I can only try to imagine the pain of this family, who loved this hero and lost him so tragically, see his final resting place treated as a prop for a man who thinks people in the military are losers.

Trump doesn’t thinks all the military are losers, just the fallen ones, like Beret.

Are these the folks pictured? Why did they agree to that, and smile?

Ok, could you clarify then? Who the heck were they then? It adds to the issue if some randos posed with the grave

Edit why was this downvoted? I am actually interested if those people are trump staff or something

The article does a better job of explaining it. But the people mentioned who are complaining were the family of another soldier whose gravestone was in the picture. The people giving the thumbs up posing with Trump are another family of a different soldier.

The Trump campaign is saying that they were invited there and given permission to take a picture. The invite and permission came from the family in the picture, but there is a federal law against taking campaign photos there for situations just like this. It’s incredibly tacky and disrespectful to take thumbs up photos for a political campaign on other people’s graves, even if a few living people said it was ok.

why was this downvoted?

Because instead of reading the article you made assumptions and are now asking other commenters to spoon feed you the information that is in the article.

If you’re actually interested then RTFA.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
