The US Army publicly rebuked Trump campaign officials for turning a ceremony marking the deaths of American soldiers into a photo opportunity, indicating a breach of protocol.
Trump claimed he did not exploit the cemetery visit for publicity, stating, "I don't need publicity. I get a lot of publicity. I would like to get a lot less publicity."
Despite accusations of using the graves for campaign purposes, Trump insisted that he posed for photos only at the invitation of family members.
Hours after the cemetery visit, Trump sent a fundraising email promising an 'EARTH-SHATTERING announcement,' highlighting his usual campaign themes and rhetoric.
