His visit to Arlington National Cemetery’s Section 60, which is regarded as hallowed ground and where political activity is illegal, sparked the controversy.
However, a TikTok video featuring footage from the cemetery was posted by Mr. Trump’s campaign, which drew condemnation from several veterans and relatives of soldiers.

On Saturday night, Mr. Trump launched a coordinated counteroffensive on social media using films featuring the relatives of at least seven of the 13 people who died during the US departure from Afghanistan.
