Like wearing flip-flops to a cemetery

By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist

“I apologize to all the veterans and their families I’ve offended. It was a very bad mistake.”

Can anyone imagine Donald Trump saying that? About anything, let alone his Arlington National Cemetery desecration? One of the last honorable Republicans, John McCain did, using those final six words (DNYUZ: tinyurl.com/mccainsorry). Instead, after floating various excuses and lies, Trump went with “it was a setup” by the Biden administration and, yes, even Gold Star families (MSN: tinyurl.com/2setup4u)

Dutifully, J.D. Vance tried to flip it to attack Kamala Harris. “She wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up?” Vance said. “She can go to hell.” Big cheers. At the time, she’d said not a word about it. Later, she did, and remains topside.

In addition to Trump’s inability to take responsibility, there’s his lack of core values, seen as he set the 24-hour flip-flop record, on Florida’s six-week abortion ban. (Advice for the Vice President: when he attacks her changed positions, she should say, “He was once a pro-choice Democrat. I changed for the better; he changed for the worse.”)
