What Happened With Trump At Arlington? (lemm.ee)

What I think I know : They tried to take a picture at Arlington National Cemetery, but couldn't? There was a physical altercation maybe? But the Trump campaign said there wasn't?

Is there more to this? Can someone explain to me the context of how this is a scandal?

Like I hate Trump but I don't understand why this is a big deal. It doesn't seem to involve the man personally, just some staffers who had an argument with a cemetery worker, and seems like small potatoes compared to other scandals he's had. Is it because of how sacred the cemetary is, or did they get into an actual fist fight, or did Trump personally interfere in some way?

Clarifying question because your comment could be interpreted in two ways. Did you mean:

  1. "It all makes sense now because women are hysterical" or
  2. "It all makes sense now because of course the Trump team would bully and slander a woman"

The logical conclusion would be #2.
