On Truth Social, he wrote, "I want to thank the families of our Great Warriors who have been lost to us for the way they came together as one, and thanked me for attending, at their request, the Celebration of their wonderful family members who, because of the Incompetence of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, are no longer with us. Thank you for saying you wanted me to stand with you at Arlington National Ceremony, and take pictures, that it was your request, not mine, but it was my Great Honor to do so."
"I WILL NEVER FORGET!" he added. "Lightweight V.P. Kamala Harris tried turning it around, because they weren’t there, have never spoken to the families, and have no intention to do so. In Afghanistan, you don’t take the Soldiers out first, you take the Soldiers out last. This would be Military 101, the most basic, and the “leaders” of that Disaster should be immediately fired."
It hasn't been a week yet, but he's still desperately re-writing history.
Late Tuesday night, President Trump posted a photo on social media of the Gold Star families who had invited him. In the post, the families thanked the president and said they had invited the campaign to film in Section 60. But filming there would still contravene federal law, "which prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within the cemeteries.
The family wanted Trump to film it and post it on TikTok as a campaign ad?
nice to see Trump campaign chief Chris LaCivita is now upping the ante and attacking the Arlington cemetery who was assaulted by two Trump crew hooligans and appearing to demand they be fired. pic.twitter.com/SyNf9JQjuc

And Trump doesn't mention the headstones shown in his campaign video that he did not have permission to show. Nor does he apologize to them.“Shocked the world” lol. This degenerate making the bizarre claim that Trump is the “real” President. Was this after of before Chris’s campaign staff assaulted the cemetery employee trying to prevent them from breaking the law? https://t.co/TgKJzu58zE

At least he had the class to leave out the grinning-over-the-headstone shots from the campaign ad, and leave them to Twitter.2/ Read pic.twitter.com/w4zr2SGYKB
