President Donald Trump’s appearance at a ceremony intended to commemorate America’s veterans at Arlington National Cemetery Tuesday devolved into an airing of grievances as the president renewed complaints about this country’s tradition of commemorating those who fought and died in past wars — rather than commemorating the wars themselves.
Trump was roughly 10 minutes into his Veterans Day remarks when he told attendees that he would be issuing a proclamation designating the annual holiday to celebrate military service as “Victory Day” for World Wars I and II.
