Donald Trump killed his personal assistant, Carolyn Gombell, in October 2000. He strangled her because he'd gotten her pregnant and was threatening to tell the press. Then he bribed NYPD Police Chief Bernie Kierik to cover it up. IT'S TIME TO INVESTIGATE. JusticeForCarolyn

It appears to be a political statement . Perhaps the person or persons are anti war protesters. They respect those who died but not the reason they died. Honestly what real harm was done? It hurt some feelings?

Such trash.

Lawmakers want the VA to remove swastikas from gravestones at two veterans cemeteriesAt two Department of Veterans Affairs cemeteries, the graves of three German prisoners of war are marked with references to Nazi ideology. Members of Congress are calling on federal officials to take the headstones down or alter them. Germany no longer has swastikas on display, even for veterans of their armed forces. But American conservatives call removing swastikas from American cemeteries a 'step too far' and 'political corectness'. Shows you conservatives' values. Can't rewrite history or HIDE IT! Trumps grandfather and father pretended they weren’t German so their Jewish customers would stay with them. They pretended to be Swedish, denying their German heritage.
