    Trump did that stupid “thumbs up” thing again at Arlington while posing for pictures with the families. He always does that at the most inappropriate time and place.

    Exactly where do you think you ARE, Donald? You’re not opening a mall. It’s like someone playing a kazoo at a funeral.

      It’s just his default “people are taking pictures of me” move. I guess it was a habit developed at a time when he was just a celebrity. But, it’s telling that he either can’t learn to do something different now and doesn’t have staff who step in front of the cameras and say “dude, you can’t do that thumbs up move here”.

      The families of the men in the graves were also giving a thumbs up, which I think is much, much worse.

      Maybe he’s just super happy to be visiting Robert E. Lee’s former historical home?
