But unfortunately, we are living at a time when a uniquely ill-suited <em>&#8220;leader&#8221;<\/em> has come to occupy the White House. Donald Trump is a five-time draft dodger who has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46562\" target=\"_blank\">called fallen soldiers <em>&#8220;suckers&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;losers&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> and who aligns himself with the sort of totalitarians (Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, etc.) that our military fought against so many times. Even in financial matters, Trump couldn&#8217;t care less about America&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66331\" target=\"_blank\">AMERICA FIRST? None of Trump\u2019s Pending Real Estate Projects Are in the US. What\u2019s He Afraid Of?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On this Memorial Day, Trump got up early to post on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66013\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, about his feelings on this hallowed day. And as usual, he managed to neglect the true purpose of the occasion in order to shift attention to the only subject that really matters to him: himself. He began <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/31247\" target=\"_blank\">his harangue<\/a><\/strong> saying, in a diarrheic deluge of all-caps&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a typically infantile outburst that Trump unloads on these occasions. Last year he addressed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=61604\" target=\"_blank\">his Memorial Day message<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country.&#8221;<\/em> And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60822\" target=\"_blank\">on Easter the same year, Trump bellowed<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON.&#8221;<\/em> And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55826\" target=\"_blank\">on Christmas in 2022, Trump raged <\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s message went on to whine about President Biden, who he called <em>&#8220;AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT;&#8221;<\/em> about the judicial system and the <em>&#8220;USA HATING JUDGES;&#8221;<\/em> about the immigrants who he maligned as <em>&#8220;CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE;&#8221;<\/em> and about the grab bag of <em>&#8216;MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL.&#8221;<\/em> After <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66324\" target=\"_blank\">the humiliating performance he gave at West Point<\/a><\/strong> a couple days ago, he shouldn&#8217;t be talking about the alleged <em>&#8220;imcompetence&#8221;<\/em> of others.<\/p>\n<p>However, there was one group of Americans that was conspicuously absent from Trump&#8217;s tantrum. He never once mentioned the fallen soldiers who Memorial Day was created to memorialize. It was all about Trump, his political enemies, and his personal grievances. What&#8217;s more, Trump later visited Arlington National Cemetery and said much the same thing. While the script that was prepared for him did make a few references to those buried at Arlington, Trump <em>&#8220;weaved&#8221;<\/em> into his speech some more exaltations of himself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump at Arlington on Memorial Day can&#39;t help making it about himself.<\/p>\n<p>He starts talking about &quot;A republic that I am fixing,&quot; to honor himself rather than the fallen soldiers that he has called &quot;suckers&quot; &amp; &quot;losers.&quot; And he isn&#39;t &quot;fixing&quot; anything.

It is drenched in narcissism and vengeance. And it is utterly devoid of empathy, consideration, or respect for anyone other than himself. Yet somehow, Trump is so emotionally dysfunctional that he can&#8217;t see the harm in his insensitivity. And his handlers are either too blind or too scared to be honest with him about how grossly inappropriate his egomaniacal tirades are.<\/p>\n<p>Which, unfortunately, means that we are all going to be subjected to further episodes of Trump&#8217;s Derangement Syndrome until his term is over, or he is removed from office by impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.
