Not the speech we anticipated after Arlington.

A new video shows Donald Trump in a strange and unsettling moment after visiting Arlington National Cemetery. In the video, Trump is seen talking to a reporter. But instead of saying respectful words, he starts with his usual rant. He attacks the media, especially NBC, and makes an odd statement: “We buried people…” This comment left many people confused because it didn’t seem to fit the seriousness of the occasion.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Trump has said something controversial, especially when talking about the military and the press. Trump has a history of making shocking comments about the military. One of the most famous examples happened in 2015 when he was running for president the first time. Trump insulted Senator John McCain, who was a Vietnam War hero and spent years as a prisoner of war. Trump said, “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” This mean comment made a lot of Americans, especially veterans and military families, really mad.

In 2018, during a trip to France, former President Trump was supposed to honor American soldiers who died in World War I. However, reports suggest he questioned why he should visit a cemetery and didn’t want to go. Some people claimed he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers.” Trump has denied these claims and says he respects fallen heroes deeply. According to Snopes, while many reports and anonymous sources mentioned these comments, there is no solid audio or video proof to confirm them. This ongoing debate raises concerns about Trump’s respect for military members and his tendency to make controversial statements.

Trump’s latest outburst at Arlington Cemetery is part of his ongoing war against the media. For years, he has called the press “fake news” whenever they criticize him or report something he doesn’t like. In this incident, Trump accused the NBC reporter of not covering the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which he called “the most embarrassing moment in history.” He also said, “I just left Arlington National Cemetery. Do you know that? We buried people… we honored people in Arlington, and the press doesn’t even cover it because they’re fake news and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Trump’s latest rant at Arlington Cemetery is another example of his ongoing battle with the media. For years, he has called the press “fake news” whenever they say something he doesn’t like. In this incident, Trump got mad at an NBC reporter, accusing them of not covering the third anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which he called “the most embarrassing moment in history.” He also said,

“I just left Arlington National Cemetery. Do you know that? We buried people… we honored people in Arlington, and the press doesn’t even cover it because they’re fake news and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Trump’s comment was supposed to slam the media for not covering what he thinks is important. But instead, it seemed rude and out of touch. After the video was shared online by the Twitter account @patriottakes, it quickly became a hot topic. People reacted with a mix of shock and humor. One user, @HarlysCorner, joked, “No matter how you spin it, it’s still garbage. It doesn’t magically turn into whipped cream!” Another user, @jhowellchrist, was baffled, saying, “I will never understand how anyone in the military can vote for Trump.” And @mctamiller made a pointed remark about the real cost of war, writing, “We buried people! Yes, you did, DonOld. Over a million of them.”

Trump’s behavior at Arlington Cemetery is just another example of his troubling pattern. He often seems more interested in defending himself than in showing respect for those who have served the country. His past remarks about the military and his constant attacks on the media make it clear that he doesn’t always get what’s important. As Trump gears up for his 2024 campaign, moments like this only remind people of how confusing and divisive he can be. For many, this video is just another reason to question if Trump really understands or cares about the sacrifices made by those who have served and died for their country.
