Donald Trump is known for speaking his mind. But sometimes he does best when he lets other people do the talking for him, especially on topics that are personal to them.
There’s nothing more personal than the death of a loved one.
In a series of videos released by President Donald Trump on Truth Social, the families of the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal under the Biden-Harris regime voiced strong criticism against Vice President Kamala Harris. They accused her of politicizing Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery, which they described as respectful and at their invitation.
Darin Hoover, father of Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, alongside other family members, expressed that Trump had shown them “the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding,” contrasting this with what they perceive as neglect from Harris and President Biden. Hoover directly questioned Harris’s integrity and empathy, highlighting the absence of personal outreach or acknowledgment from her or Biden since their loved ones’ deaths.
The controversy stems from Trump’s visit to Arlington, where he participated in a wreath-laying ceremony and was filmed, actions which led to an altercation with cemetery staff over filming rules. Harris criticized this event as a “political stunt,” suggesting Trump disrespected the sacred ground. However, the families involved defended Trump, stating they had invited him and requested the photos and videos as a way to honor their fallen relatives.
The families’ statements come in response to Harris’s comments on X, where she emphasized Arlington as a place for solemn remembrance, not political activity. She also referenced past controversies, including unverified claims about Trump’s views on fallen soldiers, to underscore her point about respect for military service.
As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.
It is not a place for politics.
And…

This episode has reignited the debate over political activities in military spaces, with the Gold Star families arguing that Harris’s criticism was politically motivated and lacked understanding of their personal loss and the significance of Trump’s visit to them. They called out Harris for not engaging with them directly, accusing her of using their tragedy for political gain.
Here are the videos Trump dropped on Harris’ post:

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
