Give me a break — former President Donald Trump’s dishonest, halfhearted “honor” for fallen American troops begins and ends only where he can amass more voters for his failing presidential campaign (“What a real commander stands for,” Editorial, Aug. 27).
What? Are we Americans supposed to forget that he allegedly mocked troops as “losers” and “suckers”?
Trump is not the guy he used to be. Despite being a charlatan, he used to be decently witty, funny and somewhat independent.
Now he puts on stunts like that at Arlington to make himself seem remotely empathetic.

As Trump placed a flower bouquet at Arlington National Cemetery, President Biden was relocating from a Southern California chaise lounge to his more familiar one on Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach.

Trump is the kind of leader we need to get our country back on track, acknowledging what happened in August 2021 and trying to do the right thing for these families by remembering and honoring them on such a sad day.
He is demanding accountability by calling for the resignations of the military leaders responsible for that debacle on his first day in office if he wins the presidency.
It’s disheartening that the current administration has allegedly never reached out to the family members of the 13 service members who died that day. What kind of a commander-in-chief is President Biden?

The Post has the audacity to state that Trump is “what a real commander stands for.” Have its editors forgotten that he was a draft dodger?

Trump was at Arlington to honor the troops savagely killed during the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was engineered by the Biden administration over the advice of generals who said it wasn’t safe.
As a Vietnam veteran, I give my thanks and gratitude to Trump for remembering those who made the supreme sacrifice.

If what the Democrats wanted on their ballot was a candidate who exemplified “joy,” they could have saved everyone a lot effort by nominating Bozo the Clown — who would have gotten more laughs than “Kackling Kamala” (“The fakest show on Earth at DNC,” Miranda Devine, Aug. 26.)

So, from “brat summer,” to “joy”?
How desperate are corporate Democrats in trying to sell their miserable campaign? They first ruined Charli XCX’s new album, and now they put on big, evil grins and maniacally laugh as thousands of Palestinians lay dead under Harris’ watch — and with her approval.

What the convention should have showcased, to give an honest picture of Democratic aspirations, are the honeymoon pictures of former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in Havana, Sen. Bernie Sanders in Moscow and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in China.
That trio shows you what far too many in the Democratic Party reserve their deepest admiration for — empty platitudes that serve as a rhetorical mask for socialist realities.
But of course, it’s that and the “joy” they bring, that really counts.
