Trump Uses Memorial Day Message to Attack Democrats
President Donald Trump published messages on Truth Social on Memorial Day, referring to Democrats as "Dumocrats" and criticizing them. He stated:
"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."
Trump is scheduled to participate in commemorations at Arlington National Cemetery, including a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and remarks. Senior administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, are expected to attend.
The president's use of holiday messages for partisan comments has been a recurring pattern. Last year, his Memorial Day message included criticism of federal judges and immigrants.
