President Donald Trump traveled to Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday to take part in the annual"flags in" Memorial Day ritual, a somber tradition honoring service members killed in the nation's wars.
On a hot and sunny afternoon, with first lady Melania Trump, dressed in black, at his side, the president took small American flags and pushed them into the ground in front of several headstones, including that of Frank Buckles, the last U.S. World War I veteran to pass on.WATCH: Pres.

All told, soldiers from the U.S. Army's"Old Guard" -- the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment-- would carefully place American flags in front of more than 228,000 headstones on Thursday as they have done now for more than 60 years.All flags will be removed after Memorial Day, before the cemetery opens to the public.
He brings HONOR back amoung these hallowed grounds that have been disgraced for decades by traitors! Traitors that are about to be exposed!
'Look at it Melanie. Look down at the stone. Pretend to give a shit long enough for them to take pictures .... and we're done here'.
Nope, not a photo op. It's not obvious at all.
now this is real news.
God Bless You President Trump and First Lady Melania. We are forever grateful for all you do for us. WWG1WGA🇺🇸🙏😇
Lefty Loons can’t help themselves. They setup multiple Fake Twitter Accounts just to comment on the other Lefty loons Fake Twitter Accounts🤣🤣🤣 Ingenious🙄
LG4LG That’s OUR/AMERICAS Commander In Chief being our President. He honored those who gave all for ALL OF AMERICANS.
I wonder if his feet hurt while he was walking among the graves of fallen soldiers?
realDonaldTrump, you draft dodger, should not be allowed to touch that sacred soil. BoneSpurs
Si y me falto un monumento 😂
TRUMP 2020!
Respect to the fallen MemorialDay Grateful to see realDonaldTrump and FLOTUS make this memorable visit. Also grateful I am not spewing hatred on this thread like some are-so blinded they forget what this weekend is all about. 🇺🇸
Must not be raining today.
He points at headstones looking around like ‘take the pictures already’. Their hand holding is as fake as his presidency. It is really an insult to our brave men and women who died for truth and our democracy to have such a lying, destructive commander try to represent them. .
Greatest POTUS ever.
The sound of all these great American soldiers rolling over in their graves must have been deafening
Disgusting. MemorialDay2019
Idiots on this thread think this is a photo op, being ignorant of the fact that this is an annual event leading to wreath ceremonies. I’m not sure if hatred or ignorance blinds people more.
Trump went to Arlington on a good weather day, but remember when rain stopped trump in Europe?
Looking to liquidate federal sacred land for golf course ?
Those are the two ugliest people on the face of this planet. trumptrash
Making sure to look at the cameras...bc it’s all about the show. It’s been proven, he doesn’t have an ounce of empathy 😡
Oh right, he’s got a lot of problems so he’s using the vets like a prop as usual.
Trump thinking……..hat a golf course this would make....too bad.....
Trump could care less about our veterans
Such disrespect to our heroes
His presence is disrespectful.
Looks like he’s about to tip over in his elevator shoes.
Glad it wasn’t raining!
He looks confused
Excuse me while I puke
He will probably be golfing on Memorial Day
WKRN Thank goodness it isn't raining. Otherwise he would not have been able to go outside in the rain. Hey did anyone else see wizard of oz? Do you think there is a connection?
Should of been pulling a little red wagon, loaded with flags and place one on each and every grave! Oh! How about quit 'acting' so high and mighty! Much respect to the fallen soldiers and their families.
This is the only 'presidential' thing he had done this month.
I’m enjoying how they pretend to be the least bit interested in the magnitude of the place and moment.
I have seen the horrors of war I’ve heard the crying of the dying my heart has felt the loss of a loved one and my soul has lost its faith in mankind’s humanity!🇺🇸
Got to get it over with; you know, golf weekend coming up.
Hint: when walking through a National Cemetery don’t wave to anyone!
Those poor soldiers..suffering another indignity 😡🇺🇸
WKRN A cemetery is the perfect place for the brain dead Nectarine.
Fraudulently conning a lie to cowardly get out of the draft 5 times trump has NO right to ever walk into a hallowed place like Arlington Cemetery not ever
He’s totally unmoved and uninterested. Going through the motions so he can get to the golf course.
It's not raining, so Bone Spurs-in-Chief felt it was safe to go.
Just for show, we all know he doesnt care!!!!
The First Ho (or is it a body double?) and the moron in chief together again.
WKRN Nice to have a first family with class
Shame on that pathetic sociopath realDonaldTrump
Melania 🤦♂️
He went Oh it must not be raining.
They look sooooo interested. Honey, time for a photo op. Look like we care😢
Apparently going to Florida for weekend
Glad it wasn't raining
I don’t care do you?
“This would make a great golf course.”
Their body language comes across confused as if conflicting with their minds trying to act ‘officially’
TTrain2020
Hey look! He got on a tie he hadn’t chewed on before...
Staged photo opp. DerangedDonald waves at cameras in a cemetery. So tacky and disrespectful!
What a class act...the Trump Family really cares for Soldiers.
Pres. orange man and first lady Melania orange man visit Arlington National Cemetery for the ‘Flags in’ annual tradition ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
His hands look extra small
A man who loves our military and respects our people
Best President ever!
Love this President 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He's changed. Holding her hnd, speak to her in public. 😊
She gave two soldiers her phone number
Many here gave their lives fighting against people like Trump. It’s hard to take that this sacred ground suffer his disingenuous patriotism.
I think they are nearly a year late from last year.
Why, he seems to be lumbering along just fine. No sign of those debilitating bone spurs.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m not a fan of Trump, but this was a good thing he did.
Trump's inner monologue: Fake salute, appears like you care... Wave at the enemy (MSM), Let's stop here, I can point & pretend I am interested. Ok, I have rested my battery enough & I have given the enemy (MSM) enough time to take my photo... SAD!!!!
He’s only there cause it’s not raining outside
The scrub and the scab...🤬
Writing is on the wrong side of that headstone your reading sparky. Keeping Melania safe from the soldiers 😂
Oh god! It’s already that time of the year I really have no idea why I’m not in NY for the governors ball then to spend the weekends by the pool in the Hamptons! Then I wake up: I’m a Professor who lives in the most beautiful city on earth, Rio de Janeiro, but still crave NY.
Lumber, lumber. Point. Sway. Sniff. Point. “Ok let’s go I got a tee time in half hour”
What our fallen Patriots were prob doing yesterday, as Cadet Bone Spurs & Mrs BeWorst stopped by ANC for their photo op!!! CasetBoneSpurs BeWorst RussianAssets TrumpMustResign
………………...DESECRATING OUR MILITARY HALLOWED GROUND...………...
MAGA. Deal with it liberals.
Both acting like they care about anything other than mean green...🤑
It must be going to rain on Memorial Day so he went early.
He disgraced the very ground
Don’t let that draft dodger anywhere near our vets.
Point again, why don’t you?
As he's walking along there he's telling the soldier 'I didn't serve but I do know more than the generals. I would have been the greatest soldier ever'
He’s like a child, totally scared of a cemetery. Look at that big baby.
Bone spurs don’t cause a limp?
Obviously his golf comes first so he ignored tradition.
A draft dodger going to Arlington to honor real heroes. Never thought I'd see the day.
Trump disgraces those who actually sacrificed
