Donald Trump likes to pretend he is still president — but his act caught up with him at Arlington
SalonOver the weekend Donald Trump whined that the Harris campaign was treating him like the incumbent and it's totally not fair: The fact is that they are framing some of the campaign as a referendum on Trump. It later turned out that he was also taking smiling thumbs-up souvenir pics with unauthorized personnel, as NPR reported: A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source. Trump's crude spokesman Steven Cheung said it didn't happen and accused the official of mental illness. Trump has spent the last four years pretending to still be the president and continuing to dominate our political culture even though he's really just some rich guy who lives in Palm Beach and likes to run for president.
