Strump at Arlington Memorial Day

I Twitter
Not much
Not long
Just after election
See a lot of stuff before it hits the news
Some never hit the news
U learn who to "trust" who not to
Saw tweets about Strump at Arlington
With clips of him singing along and loudly with the Star Spangled Banner, while others around him were ramrod straight, somber or saluting
I thought it really odd

Went down a rabbit hole tweet to discover the alternative view.
How gr8 it was seeing a Potus who loved his country SO much he was singing about it at Arlington!
Couldn't and still cannot believe all the others coming out agreeing and supporting view.
I almost put my mind out there but thought better and left shaking my head.

I cannot see how anyone could possibly think this was a proper way to show Memorial Day respect.
At least that's not how I was taught growing up
Any others??
