Trump Memorial Day rant blasts ‘scum,' Biden
President Donald Trump began Memorial Day with a long, angry and insulting rant that he posted on Truth Social, retracted, then put online after a quick edit. His initial posted consisted of only two sentences, the first of which used 141 words, at 6:45. a.m. 'HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THE BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDERERS, AND RAPE AGAIN, PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL,' he raged in capital letters, according to Mediaite. The second sentence of that deleted post hoped the Supreme Court and other courts would help him usurp the efforts of 'monsters' Trump accused of wanting to destroy the nation. That post was deleted and replaced with a note simply reading 'HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!' Trump then re-posted his original message with a couple minor tweaks including a promise to make America 'great again' at 7:22 a.m. The President posted a follow-up promoting an 11 a.m. speech he planned to deliver at Arlington National Cemetery. 'ENJOY!!' he ended that announcement. Trump's attack on Biden and his administration comes one week after he wished his predecessor a 'fast and successful recovery' following the 46th President's prostate cancer diagnoses. This isn't the first time Trump's social media posts came into focus on Memorial Day. The President began the day in 2020 with an angry social media message defending his decision to play golf during Memorial Day Weekend while the COVID-19 pandemic was raging out of control. 'What they don't say is that it was my first golf in almost 3 months,' he tweeted. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs calls Memorial Day 'the nation's foremost annual day to mourn and honor its deceased service men and women.'

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Donald Trump is set to deliver remarks at Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate Memorial Day.

But Trump began the day with a decidedly different tone. In an all-caps social media message, Trump ranted at former President Joe Biden, calling him the 'SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS' and accusing him of allowing 'AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Trump also went after federal judges who have blocked efforts to enact his mass deportation agenda, calling them 'USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY.'

That was after he posted a separate message proclaiming 'HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!' Saying 'Happy Memorial Day' is considered verboten because the day is considered a solemn day to honor soldiers killed in service.
