When will we finally get some peace from this guy? During Donald Trump’s 2015-2016 campaign, he attacked his political opponents in the most personal ways. But it wasn’t until he began targeting veterans and Gold Star families that many realized how unhinged he truly was. Below is a brief compilation of the times Trump disparaged veterans up until the end of his first term.
There’s even a report about more disrespect against the military when referring to a visit to a cemetery of fallen soldiers saying, “why would I want to visit a cemetery full of losers?” Never mind the infamous public attack against the Khans some years ago.
Now, as the disgraceful former president once again seeks to claw his way back into the White House with the eager support of the Republican Party, his pattern of offending veterans continues. One of his most egregious actions occurred during a recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery.
Trump’s campaign, acting as an extension of his own disrespectful behavior, seems determined not to correct course but to continue dishonoring America’s warriors. More veterans have since turned against the twice-impeached leader.

One veteran, who once provided security at Arlington National Cemetery, spoke out about Trumpās disgraceful actions on TikTok. He recounted how he’d never seen such a solemn event turned into a photo-op, criticizing Trump for giving a thumbs-up during a time of mourning, further disrespecting veterans.

He says that he never saw a thumbs up at a solemn event turn into a photo op before and how horrible of a person Donald Trump is for, “crapping on veterans.”
If these incidents haven’t humbled Trump by now, they never will. Instead, he doubles down, showing no signs of stopping, at least until the 2024 election. If he succeeds in winning it, he will undoubtedly continue this behavior from the presidential platform, and things are almost guaranteed to worsen.
