Trump Campaign Boss Still Thinks Arlington Disaster Was a Triumph
Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery, during which his staff got into an altercation with cemetery personnel and potentially broke federal campaign law, was a triumph, according to Trump’s campaign boss.
Chris LaCivita, the GOP strategist and co-manager of Trump’s 2024 campaign, lauded his candidate late Wednesday in a post on X, calling an image from Trump’s calamitous Arlington visit “The Photo that shook the world and reminded America who the real Commander in Chief is.”
NPR reported Wednesday that two Trump campaign staffers got into a “physical altercation” with an official at Arlington on Monday when the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony to mark the third anniversary of a fatal attack on U.S. troops during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump was invited to attend by Gold Star families who lost family members during the withdrawal.
