So....who DID allow Trump access top the cemetery??? I cannot tell you how mad this makes me.

Apparently. I think my loathing knows no bounds...

Probably somebody in charge who was a Trump supporter and got a M&G with Trump for his or her trouble. Some heads need to roll.

My guess is that he just lumbered in and set up shop. He doesn't ask permission; he doesn't give a fuck about permission.

I am guessing the same thing, for exactly the same reason.

same here.

if you think about it, a HUGE amount of TFF's getting by with this kind of thing is that he's violated norms and traditions no one's thought would get violated (since most of them haven't ever been), so there's no real enforcement mechanism to fall back on.

and let's face it...TFF's delight in breaking these norms and traditions is one of his selling points, if you're one of those people who (speaking of "suckers" and "losers") are intent on buying the product.

Robert Hubbell's Substack from overnight has additional info on the incident. Seems the Trump team forced their way in. Maddening, and yet another new low.
