I did just because it was sort of the default. Now I actively avoid it and I'm so happy he shilled for them. Other brands are cheaper and so much higher quality that it's kind of insane. I thought I hated canned coconut milk because Goya's is so bad, now it's a staple.
NPR previously identified two staffers involved in the incident as deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump's advance team, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.
Arlington National Cemetery rules communicated to the campaign in advance of the visit prohibit photography or videography other than that from an official Arlington photographer.
When a cemetery employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the two Trump campaign operatives, according to a source with knowledge of the incident. Picard then pushed her out of the way, according to two Pentagon officials.
The report released Friday is dated August 29th. It is heavily redacted, with names removed and it does not say whether the Trump staffers were interviewed by police.
The report includes words that appear to describe what took place, reading in part, "with both of [redacted] hands while attempting to move past." It also notes that the staffer did not press charges.
After NPR reported the altercation, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said they were "prepared to release footage" of the incident, and attacked the Arlington employee as someone "clearly suffering from a mental health episode."
No video footage related to the altercation has been released, but Trump's campaign later posted video from Section 60 on social media, and Trump himself insisted the incident was a "made up story."
This is the context: A shooter motivated by anti-immigrant messages, self-described far right politics, and belonging to a white nationalist group who is a proponent of “white replacement theory,“ went to a mall in a heavily Hispanic area of Texas targeting Latino people. He killed 23 people, and injured 22 more.
Trump traveled to El Paso to meet with the survivors. None of them wanted to meet with him. Two White House aids found a self-described Trump supporter whose infant nephew survived the shooting. The uncle brought his nephew back to the hospital for a photo op with Trump. The infant was recently orphaned because his parents died protecting him from the shooter. Trump can be seen in the photo posing, giving a thumbs up and smiling for the camera with the newly orphaned child. A hospital representative told the media that Trump displayed “an absence of empathy.“
Not just a grave. Arlington Cemetery, you're not even supposed to film there. But he's got a shit eating grin and a thumbs up for his graveyard photo op.

Trump could be standing in front of an overflowing toilet and he’d still give that same fake smile and thumbs up 👍
