President-elect Donald Trump was spotted in Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday. What was he doing? Paying respects to our fallen American soldiers of course.
Trump arrived at Arlington a little before 1:30pm via his motorcade, where he joined Vice President-elect Mike Vance and his wife, Usha.
The trio met with a handful of wounded service members, and they laid multiple wreaths down at the Top of the Unknown Soldier. Trump then stood at attention and offered a respectful salute.

This is not the first time Trump has honored our country’s fallen soldiers. In fact, I’d be willing to argue that he has been one of the most respectful presidents when it comes to our armed forces, showing the upmost regard for the men and women who fight to keep this country safe.
As the families of the fallen soldiers thanked Trump for attending the ceremony, dirty Kamala Harris attempted to swoop in and politicize the gesture.
Trending Politics reports:
Despite the fact that Trump was invited to Arlington by Gold Star families, Democrats accused him of staging a “political stunt.” Vice President Harris — who has previously bragged that she was the “last person in the room” during the withdrawal effort — accused her Republican rival of “disrespecting sacred ground” by paying tribute to fallen soldiers.
In the lengthy post, Harris falsely accused the president of getting into an “altercation” with cemetery staff, an accusation that has been thoroughly debunked. “Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt,” she wrote at the time.
In response, Gold Star families came to the now president-elect’s defense for honoring their fallen loved ones, something they have repeatedly criticized the Biden-Harris Administration for failing to do.
“President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children’s deaths,” the families declared in a joint statement. “He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.”
Ironic that she wants to accuse him of a political stunt whenever she and President Joe Biden couldn’t even be bothered to show up t the 3rd anniversary ceremony to honor the 13 fallen soldiers killed in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
You know who did show? Donald Trump.
