Pres. Trump and first lady Melania Trump visit Arlington National Cemetery for the ‘Flags in’ annual tradition ahead of Memorial Day weekend.

President Donald Trump paid his respects Thursday to those who died in service to the United States by placing American flags at several gravesites during an early Memorial Day visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, participated in a decades-old tradition known as"flags in." Every Thursday before the holiday, members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, or the Old Guard, honor the nation's fallen heroes by placing American flags at each service member's headstone. Trump and the first lady each placed three flags at three headstones after making a quiet trip to the hallowed burial ground.

Presidents typically lay a wreath and deliver remarks at the cemetery on Monday, which is Memorial Day, but Trump will be in Japan on a state visit.

Too bad they couldn’t make it on the actual holiday. How many more days of this nightmare of a Presidency?

My mom always said don't point to a grave because you are pointing to your own.

MariEastman Too bad the first four comments and many more are negative. The president can’t even pay respects to veterans at Arlington without criticism.

트럼프대통령님 We can't hear truelynews in S. korea 한국에''바늘도둑이 소도둑 된다''라는 속담이있답니다 이번에김정은이 발사한 단거리미사일이 곧 장거리미사일로바뀐다면 김정은에 속아 제2의 9.11참사와 같은사태가나기전에 평양선제타격및 김정은참수만이 세계평화를지키는 유일한 길입니다

Oh look... no sleeves.

Fat pig

They seem so at ease praying...

Could he walk on his own with those bone spurs, and all?

No Academy Awards for these two.

realDonaldTrump I’d spit in his face before I would shake his hand

Good thing it wasn’t raining.

Thank you for helping our vets with their medical care! God Bless you!

FYCK realDonaldTrump he doesn’t care about the dead or the living military. All he cares about is stealing their money to line his cheap China pockets. Every wonder where that money goes that you donate to his election? In their cheap ass pockets

Once was enough. He kept pointing at the same headstone. Doesn't look like Melania was actually listening.

Holy fuck. FatNixon put on another 15lbs or so.

He did this today so he can golf this weekend.

What a disgrace. My uncle is burried there. He would despise tRump.

very good

bonespur Trump

Surprised trump could make it out to the cemetery with those bone spurs acting up the way they were.

God Bless President Trump! A true American patriot.

I LOVE this President ‼️‼️❤️🇺🇸❤️

Tainting real courage and should not be allowed near such real Americans in my opinion.TRUTH2020

Trump_World Did The Kenyan ever do this?

His presence defiles this holy place.

Someone please give realDonaldTrump a respectable haircut before he gets to England. That dead animal resting on his head looks horrible for a man his age. Time to part with the dead critter he takes everywhere.

“Ok sir. Just pause at one of them, point and nod, pause again and then you can go.”

Thank you Mr. President!

Melania is his little puppet. With a slight pull of her shoulder and an awkward hold of her hand, Trump controls her movements and actions, and it's obvious how incredibly uncomfortable it is for her. I almost feel sorry for her. But then again, I don't really care.

President Trump certainly chose his own grave on a good floor, did he pick a tomb in Mrs. Melania?

Trump 2020🇺🇸

And how many are dead here,they all are sir,really that many who’d have thought

Why’d he go today Golfing on Monday

draftdodger

Looks like his bone spurs are acting up

Who picked out his tie ?

Can someone teach him when to salute?!?! Good god

Bones spurs

Wow nothing disgusting to say. I’m shocked 😱

Nothing like a fake President with his fake wife looking like they give a damn about our fallen heroes.

Bone spurs

BEST PRESIDENT EVER!!!

So disrespectful. These people didn’t die to protect a corrupt government.

He can’t even pretend to act solemn in a cemetery. What a pile of complete human garbage.

Disgraceful seeing a draft dodger and a prostitute at such a sacred spot.

Look at her face!! Wondering what the hell he's rambling on about as he stops by a grave for a photo op and then thinking, okay, enough, lets go!!

this is sickening to me he acting like he cares god hope he tells them bout his spurs

Here is a dedication to every man & woman who have given testimony to their loyalty to these United States. 🇺🇸

I Love You Mr President Trump !!!!

I don't think it's her...

sherey54 My Day at the Cemetery placing Flags out for Our Hero's. Here's My Mom and Dads.

After that disastrous France visit and years of him ignoring this good to see him step away from stuffing himself on hamberder and omelette and show some minimal respect! AboutFuckingTime

realDonaldTrump can’t even be sincere while visiting a cemetery! How sad and sickening the first family has become!

When President Trump went to the national cemetery, 'every living will taste death,' he must sew a slab at the entrance of the cemetery, I think ...

What a bone spur Fraud in Chief & his so called First nude lady both equal eyesore

Glad Trump's bone spur allowed him to honor those who didn't weasel out of military service. Punk.

Man I want president Trump's tie I love that color

Bonespur Babyfingers realDonaldTrump and the illegal immigrant Malaria FLOTUS make a photo opp for fake patriotism. CommanderBabyfingers DraftDodger WhiteSupremacist

Moocher can't even wear sleeves when honoring the dead. But then again, she really doesn't care. outfit to the beach. outfit to the National Cemetery. all the same.

Glad potus could get this chore out of the way early so he could squeeze some golf in this weekend.

Another Dog and Pony show before taking off the long weekend to play Golf on USA tax payers dime 😡😠

I’m surprised the ground didn’t suck them under

Followed by the pardoning of war criminals.🙄how embarrassing.

He must have gone today because the wind wasn't blowing, except every time he opens his pie hole, which really has more in common with his rectum. 😎

'How long can I pretend to care? . . . Oh, look at that.'

ReneeDahl5

Open grave anywhere close by

The fat boy refuses to button his jacket!

What does he keep pointing at? Say a prayer and move on. Enough with the photo op.

Surprised his bone spurs didnt act up°°

What is he even pointing at? I mean it's the back of the head stone?

'Look, this guy died because my dad bought my way out of war'

lol he totally saw a possible camera op and paused so obviously for the sake of the camera man

How offensive to everyone buried there

As Trump escalates China trade dispute, economic ties lose stabilizing force in matters of national securityTensions could extend beyond the trade sphere and impact other areas of contention between Washington and Beijing. Very true. It is not about no tariffs but to be strategic and timely. Trump is off these two principles by miles. Good faith was given to China reform and the hope is fading. Appearances point to continued escalation. We may in fact see a currency manipulator designation by USTreasury as soon as China's eventually counter-acts with currency policy. ooo.. itu tho akibatnya

Google halts business with Huawei after company is blacklistedGoogle has halted business with the Chinese tech giant Huwaei after the Trump admin.'s decision last week to blacklist the firm, a source familiar with the matter confirmed. China won 20 years ago. What America has been doing is lashing out, trying to save as much of their global ill-gotten gains as possible. The illusion of America being a 'Free', 'Shining City' has run its course. Why do business with them in the first place. This isn't new news that Huwaei has Chinese government influences. What about Xiaomi?

Today he is in prison for crimes that include lying to Congress about the project. Here's how President Trump risked everything for the relatively tiny deal: A Private citizen talking about building in Russia is 'risking everything'? What kind of country do we have? And you can go to jail for 'lying to congress' or the FBI, about what you had for breakfast on July 4th! Tower Putin ( NY or FL ) maybe West Berlin ? He is in jail for bank fraud and tax fraud.
