In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump wants to be buried in Arlington Cemetery [View all]TomSlick
(12,864 posts)159. If he dies tomorrow (may it please God), Vance would order him buried in Arlington, federal regulations be damned.
If he survives his term (may God forbid), a Democratic president not allow him to be buried at Arlington. If Vance or some other Republican president order Trump buried at Arlington, later exhumation seems unlikely. The public would not support disturbing his grave. I pity the poor security guards that would need to be on duty to prevent the frequent christening of Trump's grave.
I remain unconvinced Trump really wants to be buried at Arlington. First, the place isn't all about Trump, he surely could not get away with renaming in Trump National Cemetery in Arlington. Second, the place is full of people Trump thinks were suckers and losers.

I agree, but he, and all former presidents, are eligible for burial at Arlington regardless of whether they served.

According to 32 CFR 553(a)(6)(i) a president is eligible for burial at Arlington only if a veteran.

Like those silly rules would stop him and Republicans from doing it. It's almost comical...

I agree with all of that except for the public not supporting disturbing his grave.

That would definitely suffice, the putrid smell of Flim Flam Man would be covered up by the smell of rotting

Good question, one which I have no answer to other than the smell of rotting garbage

If he gets buried there I'm going to dig him up and put him in a dumpster where he'll end up somewhere he won't be found

He has desecrated everything else, but that would be to far. That would be an insult to every member of the military

Surely they have a latrine with floor space - for a simulated great and very brave soldier

Wherever he's buried, make sure it opens up into a PortaPotty. (Regretfully I forget who I stole that from !) nt

He's probably working on getting his birthday declared a national holiday.

I'm sorry ... isn't Arlington reserved for war heroes and military combatants?

He wants someone to guard his grave for free, that is why Arlington works for him

No that is an honor for a U.S. Military Veteran not for somebody who paid for a phony excuse from a doctor

I am in favor of this. They should build him a huge structure, the Tomb of The Unknown Chomo.
