It’s Memorial Day, and on this somber day of remembrance, America’s fallen are honored for their sacrifice. It’s a day when the nation comes together to pay tribute to those made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the liberties we were inherited from our founders.

Unfortunately, not everyone participates in this appreciation for those who defend American principles. And leading the list of naysayers is the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. At least he took some time off from golfing, watching Fox News, and pitching his vanity ballroom, to make an appearance at Arlington National Cemetery for a ceremonial wreath-laying. Which is quite a concession considering how averse he is to not being the center of attention.

Prior to the ceremony at Arlington, Trump posted one of his typically infantile comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exemplifies his true feelings about this holiday. Since he is incapable of behaving as anything other than bitterly divisive, Trump raged that…
“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY?Rather than uniting the nation, Trump's typically infantile message – "including the Dumocrats" – insults half the country – including millions of active duty military and veterans – while focusing on himself.

First of all, it is improper to wish people a “happy” Memorial Day. It is not an occasion for joy, but for solemn reflection and remembrance. More to the point, it is wholly inappropriate to exploit the holiday to divide Americans politically. Trump’s childish insult may be typical of Trump, but it is out of place and profoundly callous on a day intended to thank the fallen for their service.
What’s more, Trump’s accusation that Democrats “disrespect our military” is hypocritical in the extreme. After all, he is the one who has called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” He is the one who disparaged American prisoners of war simply because they were captured (see John McCain). He is the one who prohibited soldiers with disabling injuries from parades because he didn’t like the way they looked. And he is the five-time draft dodger who allegedly suffered from bone spurs.
Trump has shown more disrespect to America’s bona fide heroes by firing generals and other leaders when they had the audacity to express loyalty to the Constitution, rather than to him. Additionally, Trump is making a disgusting attempt to exalt himself by referring only to alleged military successes “had over the last year,” which is the year of his presidency.
Finally, Trump displayed the depth of his interest in paying tribute to the fallen during a ceremony wherein his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking. Apparently it was too much for Trump to be bothered just to stay awake…
