Trump has said of the photograph that depicted his raised fist in a triumph gesture of surviving his assignation attempt, that it reminded him of the six Marines raising our flag atop Mt. Suribachi in the battle of Iwo Jima.
For the ultimate draft dodger (Trump), his parallel comparison is quite a stretch of anyone’s imagination. Especially since Trump has disparaged our generals, troops, Gold Star military families, and called the war dead “losers” and “suckers”.
On top of that, he’s an insurrectionists by inciting the Jan. 6th Capitol uprising and attempting to overthrow the 2020 US Presidential election results.
In short, he’s the last person in the world that deserves to have his photograph superimposed over this iconic US military photograph.
