And leading the list of naysayers is the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. At least he took some time off from golfing, watching Fox News, and pitching his vanity ballroom, to make an appearance at Arlington National Cemetery for a ceremonial wreath-laying.

It is not an occasion for joy, but for solemn reflection and remembrance. More to the point, it is wholly inappropriate to exploit the holiday to divide Americans politically. Trump&#8217;s childish insult may be typical of Trump, but it is out of place and profoundly callous on a day intended to thank the fallen for their service.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump&#8217;s accusation that Democrats <em>&#8220;disrespect our military&#8221;<\/em> is hypocritical in the extreme. After all, he is the one who has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2020\/09\/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers\/615997\/\" target=\"_blank\">called fallen soldiers <em>&#8220;suckers&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;losers.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> He is the one who disparaged American prisoners of war simply because they were captured (see John McCain). He is the one who prohibited soldiers with disabling injuries from parades because he didn&#8217;t like the way they looked. And he is the five-time draft dodger who allegedly suffered from bone spurs.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has shown more disrespect to America&#8217;s bona fide heroes by firing generals and other leaders when they had the audacity to express loyalty to the Constitution, rather than to him. Additionally, Trump is making a disgusting attempt to exalt himself by referring only to alleged military successes <em>&#8220;had over the last year,&#8221;<\/em> which is the year of his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump displayed the depth of his interest in paying tribute to the fallen during a ceremony wherein his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking.
