Dolt45 wants to give his acceptance speech from the Gettysburg battlefield?

[MarianJack]

All I can say is malignantly cynical and completely obscene.

#notmypresident

RESIST

[BlueJac]

1. Watch out for dead Patriots

That could resurrect them!

[Mike 03]

2. Yes, it's an utter disgrace. It's ludicrous. There's a reason the

hashtag #TrumpIsALaughingStock never seems to grow irrelevant or fade away.

[mr_lebowski]

3. Dogwhistles gotta whistle, I suppose (nt)

[Sneederbunk]

4. A tip of the hat to dead Confederate losers.

A grand Union victory.

[dubyadiprecession]

5. That should rub enough salt in confederate descendants eyes!

[myccrider]

17. Hey!

I’m a Confederate descendent (well, about 3/4 to 1/4 Conf to Union ancestor soldiers) and I’m not feeling salty eyes at all.

[MFM008]

6. Next

Maybe the national cemetary....

[Jirel]

7. Yet another idiotic stunt.

Go home. Nobody wants you. Stop trying to borrow glory - it doesn’t fit and never will.

[NCjack]

8. President Biden needs to mow Trump's grass, beginning with giving acceptance

speech at Gettysburg.

[madinmaryland]

9. "Four whores and seven bankruptcies ago..."

[BusyBeingBest]

20. All right, that's pretty good...

[Wounded Bear]

10. He should be given a rifle and told to march up Cemetary Ridge...

[mokawanis]

11. He should give it from a pig sty or a garbage dump

or a sewer.

[HDSam]

12. Why break with tradition!

He should give his capitulation speech at Appomattox Courthouse like that other loser did so long ago. Red state conservatives will appreciate Trump’s recognition of Confederate history!

[Bengus81]

13. And then gets on AF1 for a flight to SD to see himself on Mt. Rushmore??

That fuck really is in a fantasy World. Nah...he'll run down to Mar-a-logo and wonder where the hell everybody is.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

14. it is hallowed ground so naturally he wants to

whip out his tiny mushroom and piss on it.

15. Live from Devil's Den, it's the Donald Trump Hatch Act Violation Renomination Abomination.

[Tom Traubert]

18. Hatch Act doesn't apply to President or Vice-President

19. But it applies to everyone on the Staff

and in the Parks Dept that helps.
He can't do this alone.

[mercuryblues]

21. It applies to the president in a very narrow scope

He can not order any white house/federal employees to participate. That would be forcing them to violate the Hatch Act. It could also be considered an abuse of power. IE: work during my political campaigning or get fired if they say no.

[Tom Traubert]

22. Office of Special Counsel Adv. Opinion.

The President and Vice President are not covered by any of the provisions of the Hatch Act. Accordingly, the Hatch Act does not prohibit President Trump from delivering his RNC acceptance speech on White House grounds. However, White House employees are covered by the Hatch Act, so there may be Hatch Act implications for those employees, depending on their level of involvement with the event and their position in the White House.

Federal employees can attend and work on the event so long as they are on their own time. The same analysis would apply if Trump decides to accept the nomination at Gettysburg. Of course government employees may not be required to attend a political event as a condition of employment. But the reality is anyone working in the administration would likely want to attend.

The advisory opinion is correct.
