Approval

It’s like kindergarten. As long as someone, somewhere, said ok, that’s all the permission you need. “Sally said I could!” “Sally, like you, is 5 years old.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump shared a statement from family members of the fallen soldiers honoured at the event, expressing their approval.

“We had given our approval for President Trump’s official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever,” the families said in Trump’s Truth Social post.

But that doesn’t matter. It’s not their cemetery and they don’t make the rules. Their approval doesn’t override federal law.

But that goes against federal policy, an Arlington National Cemetery spokesperson told the BBC.

Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities on the grounds of military cemeteries, including photographers, content creators or anyone directly supporting a partisan political candidate’s campaign, the cemetery spokesperson said.

Never mind, if Trump wins he’ll make it a Trump property run according to Trump rules.
