Thanks, evidently it's one of only two in the nation that is. All the rest are administered by the VA.

Truly reprehensible on Trump’s part; disgraceful and offensive.When you love the troops so much you stage a photo op on sacred ground at Arlington National Cemetery where photography is prohibited and after a cemetery official asks you to not take pictures your goons shove them aside so you can pose anyway and give a big old thumbs up.
There was a time in America’s political past when something like this would be the end of a politician’s career – and appropriately so; indeed, such a politician would at least have the decency to withdraw from politics.
But not Trump – who yet again proves he’s unfit to be president.

Fitting that Trump’s political stunt blew up in his face.

I agree. It was a crass move intended to embarrass Harris & Biden on the anniversary of the Afghan debacle.
It was manipulative. Using the grief of the KIA's families to drive home campaign messaging. Exactly the reason why such behavior is restricted if not prohibited.
This was reported in this morning's paper (I cut and pasted only portion as a taster.....your Washington Post subscription will allow you to read the entire article:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"August 28, 2024 at 7:04 p.m. EDT
"Earlier this month, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign contacted military officials about visiting Arlington National Cemetery to mark the third anniversary of the Islamic State bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members during the evacuation from Afghanistan.
Federal law prohibits election-related activities at military cemeteries, and Arlington is the most prestigious and sacred of all. Pentagon officials were deeply concerned about the former president turning the visit into a campaign stop, but they also didn’t want to block him from coming, according to Defense Department officials and internal messages reviewed by The Washington Post.
Officials said they wanted to respect the wishes of grieving family members who wanted Trump there, but at the same time were wary of Trump’s record of politicizing the military. So they laid out ground rules they hoped would wall off politics from the final resting place of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their nation.
Instead, they got sucked into exactly the kind of crisis they were hoping to avoid.
A cemetery employee tried to enforce the rules as provided to her by blocking Trump’s team from bringing cameras to the graves of U.S. service members killed in recent years, according to a senior defense official and another person briefed on the incident. A larger male campaign aide insisted the camera was allowed and pushed past the cemetery employee, leaving her shocked.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded to the first report of the altercation, from NPR on Tuesday, by accusing, without evidence, the employee of “suffering from a mental health episode.” Defense officials said that the employee was trying to do her job and that the claim of a mental health episode was false. On Wednesday Cheung said the employee “initiated physical contact that was unwarranted and unnecessary.”
Cheung also said the campaign would release footage to support his claim but has not. The campaign did, however, post a TikTok of the event on Wednesday — exactly what military officials tried to prevent. The use of the footage marked a flagrant violation of the law against partisan actions at military cemeteries, defense officials said."

We have one unsubstantiated claim he said suckers and losers, apparently first appearing in The Atlantic, and then years later (after he had been fired) confirmed by John Kelly. So let’s see, The Atlantic, left wing, and then John Kelly who had been fired by Trump, and now appears to be a democrat.
The VA hates Trump. Swiftboater.

No you don't. You simply don't hold the orange bag O' shit accountable for anything. So, you're just... unreliable.
And you just regurgitate MSM bullshit that has no actual information except ORANGE MAN BAD.
Well there must be something to the story because it's not going away. I love it! Trump is not controlling the conversation.
Trump Campaign Was Warned Not To Take Photos At Arlington Before Altercation, Defense Official Says
He makes it too easy because he's a habitual line crosser. Republicans like that about him. The rest of us don't. That includes a lot of Republicans which is why he's going to lose.
There all out to get him? They sure are. Because he is not fit to be POTUS. And it's amazing he got the nomination again. Insane. MAGA idiots. Weirdo's.
“Whoever this individual is, spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces.”
“It’s sad but all too expected that Donald Trump would desecrate this hallowed ground and put campaign politics ahead of honoring our heroes,” he said. “His behavior and that of his campaign is abhorrent and shameful.”
They finally tracked down the guy Team Trump roughed up
Usually a nothing burger only spends one day in the news. Today Arlington Cemetary says the incident did happen but the veteran that Team Trump battered isn't going to press charges. Because we know Trump is never held accountable except for in court and then Republicans will just blame Biden's DOJ.
Arlington Cemetery Official Was 'Pushed Aside' In Trump Staff Altercation But Won't Press Charges
An Arlington National Cemetery official was “abruptly pushed aside” during an altercation with former President Donald Trump’s staff during a wreath-laying ceremony but declined to press charges.
the cemetery employee was trying to make sure those participating in the wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week were following the rules.
Trump can't follow rules. And Republicans can't/won't hold him accountable. It's why he can't be president.
Most of the "good" Republicans have shown they'll go along with it if they can't beat him. Like Nikki and Ron DeSantis. Spineless. Even JD Vance. Mike Johnson. Mitch. All Not Sees.

According to current evidence, the photographer was approved to be onsite.
Not taking photo ops there. The guy tried to explain it to Trump after Trump had already been told and they pushed him aside and told him to **** off.
The guy had to be carried to the ambulance
Not Section 60. Why are you leaving that part out? The photographer was approved to be in the cematary but TOLD not to take pics in Section 60.
The Trump aide pushed the cemetery employee out of the way to get past to take photos and video at Section 60, where service members killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are buried, two Defense Department officials also said.
Just an example of how Trump thinks he's above the law and doesn't have to follow the rules.
