Steve Schmidt: Trump will desecrate Arlington National Cemetery today
Link: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/p/trump-will-desecrate-arlington-national
Today, Donald Trump will desecrate Arlington National Cemetery and America’s most hallowed ground.
He will use Arlington National Cemetery as a political stage to score cheap and partisan points in a moment of political desperation as his campaign spirals. He intends to visit the graves of 13 Americans killed in action during the chaotic, incompetent, deadly and unnecessary evacuation from Kabul. After his gravesite desecration and photo op, the malignant Trump will deliver a campaign speech attacking the wrong person for being responsible. America has one commander in chief at a time, and his name is Joe Biden. Trump can’t seem to process the Harry Truman concept of “the buck stops here,” or the fact that Joe Biden isn’t a candidate anymore.
Trump is returning to the scene of some of his foulest desecrations and abdications of basic humanity. Arlington is where, at a 2017 Memorial Day event, he turned towards his White House chief of staff, a Gold Star father, and USMC general named John Kelly, and said the following: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
Later, Donald Trump refused to travel to an American military cemetery in Aisne-Marne, France, during a European visit to commemorate the end of the First World War. He blamed the rain, but the real reason, according to The Atlantic, was that he didn’t want to dishevel his hair. This was the spot he called America’s war dead “suckers” and “losers.” The reporting has been confirmed by Fox News, The Washington Post, The New York Times and the Associated Press.

Steve continues with a quote from former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley who witnessed Chump's scorn and cruel remarks over injured Afghanistan war veteran Luis Avila. Avila lost a leg in Afghanistan and suffered other severe injuries, however he was chosen to sing "God Bless America" to welcome Chump to the Army base across the Potomac. The story will break your heart.
