'A Traitor to His Country!': Donald Trump Ripped Apart for Tone-Deaf Memorial Day Message

Leaving without comment.



------------------------------------------------------------------------
© OK Magazine
Donald Trump had an important message for his Truth Social followers on Memorial Day, but people were less than pleased with his remarks.

"HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY THEY LOVE, AND TO THOSE IN LINE OF A VERY DIFFERENT, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS FIRE, STOPPING THE TREATS OF THE TERRORISTS, MISFITS AND LUNATIC THUGS WHO ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY FROM WITHIN TO OVERTURN AND DESTROY OUR ONCE AGAIN GREAT COUNTRY, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN IN GREATER PERIL THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. WE MUST STOP THE COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS AND FACIST ‘PIGS’ AT EVERY TURN AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he stated on social media on Monday, May 29.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden had a much more inclusive statement about the holiday.

He wrote, "On Memorial Day, we honor America's fallen heroes who gave their last full measure of devotion to this nation. We'll never be able to repay the debt we owe them. But today, we rededicate ourselves to the work for which they gave their lives, and we recommit to supporting the loved ones they left behind."

Was that a Freudian slip with ‘treats’ (granted this is also from the tweeter of covfefe)

little history. Even if I only watched cartoons most of my life, I'd gather enough information to know that one.

Ha ha heh. A sign of his desperation of his needy and whiny narcistic craving of attention. He's finding out that fewer and fewer people are paying attention to him.

getting louder and louder as more people ignore him. I think on some level he always knew it couldn't last and now he's facing that reality.

I don't think I've ever seen him wear glasses, or any reports that he wears contact lenses. He would probably be too vain to admit he needed either, but everyone I know around his age needs some sort of vision correction.

His Mommy would have been so proud!

Actually we've been reading his all-caps garbage for years, ever since he learned how to "phone-tweet." The tweets that are spelled correctly with upper and lower case fonts, well, it's easy to figure out that one of his assistants did those.

gave ultimate sacrifice. Does he mean those in the military that died during war or those that stormed the capital on 1/6 and ended up going to prison. I say this because I seem to remember he said more than once, anyone who joins the military is a fool and had no respect for them.

I get that dim donnie doesn't understand "sacrifice"--let alone "ultimate sacrifice"--but surely whoever wrote this for him isn't THAT stupid. It's deliberate?

This is who Trump is, and this is the same jackass y'all wanted to be president. I honestly expected worse from him. This is relatively tame by his standards, which are already pretty low to begin with.
