    No American president has ever worn a baseball cap at a dignified transfer, and none would have even considered doing so. Instead of being concerned with product placement, they had an innate understanding of what their office symbolizes and demands. At military funerals, the Veterans of Foreign Wars advises it is appropriate to remove one’s hat and place it over the heart. In American civic culture, removing one’s hat is a visible sign of respect, particularly during ceremonies honoring the dead.

        They mean not enough people have died for Trump to respect the fallen troops by completing the physically arduous and decidedly product placementless act of…

        …lemme check my notes…

        “temporarily removing a baseball hat”.

      You’re right that some people don’t mind throwing other people’s lives away.
