Trump world does not want to honour Babbitt. It wants to dishonour military funerals in the same way it dishonoured the Congressional Medal of honour. No consecrated things can exist, no alternative sources of respect of authority, other than the Leader’s decision.

As in Bourdieu, consecrations also consecrate the consecrator (the Nobel Prize brings honour to the Swedish academy as well as recipients). Here, the desecration of the military funeral desecrates all military honours, and desecrates the power of the military to give honour. Only the Leader remains
