The Trump Arlington Photo Furor Is a Study in Hypocrisy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : As for exploitation, turn next to pearl-clutching the New York Times, who sent a staffer to record the names of those buried near where the photo of Trump alongside the 13 Gold Star families was taken, and then find their families to seek an anti-Trump quote.
27% : Andrew Marckesano, an eight-tour combat vet who died by suicide in 2020, and whose headstone inadvertently appeared in the photos of Trump with the Gold Star families.
26% : Joe Biden depended on the same kind of medical deferments Trump did to stay out of the military during the Vietnam war.
25% : No, Marckesano was only worth exploiting to the point where one of his relatives might backhandedly criticize Trump.
23% : Democrats then used that photo to attack Trump, with some claiming he broke federal law simply by being present, and that he had disrespected the dead the same way.
18% : Now, for Harris to rake Trump over the coals for posing for some photos instead of taking responsibility for the dead in those photos tells you much about the woman, crying exploitation while shirking the responsibility of her own exploitation of those young lives.
16% : That included Gold Star family members, despite their posting videos on X stating they had invited Trump to the event and had not heard from either Harris or Biden.
16% : Is Biden's photo no less exploitative and political than Trump's?
11% : We've reached the point in America where people can believe Trump taking a photo is more disgraceful than the Biden-Harris administration getting someone's son killed on a badly conceived rerun of the Fall of Saigon.
