In a Post of the Memorial Day on its Truth social platform on MondayPresident Donald Trump marked the solemn opportunity in honor of the American war dead by exploding his political opponents and in enemies perceived as a “foam”, members of the federal judiciary as “hatred of the United States” as well as “monsters”, and his predecessor, former president Joe Biden, as “incompetent”.
The All-Caps message, published just before 7 a.m., sees the president Wishing a “Happy Memorial Day to all, including the foam which has spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through radical minds detained”, which he writes was responsible for illegal immigration in the country under Biden.
Trump then suggested that 21 million people entered the United States illegally under the previous administration – a figure not confirmed by customs data and the protection of American borderas previously reported by CNN.
He blamed “an incompetent president” for the influx of migrants and “judges whose mission is to keep the murderers, drug traffickers, rapists, gang members and freed prisoners from all over the world, in our country so that they can fly, murder and violate again”, to have thwarted his deportation program, the complaint of migrants criminals
In the United States, Memorial day Honor those who died while he was used in the armed forces; Due to the serious meaning of the party, it is largely considered taboo to wish someone a “good commemorative day”.
Later Monday, the president should observe the holidays in a more traditional setting, going to the National Cemetery of Arlington in northern Virginia. There, he will place a crown on the tomb of the unknown soldier before making remarks of the amphitheater of the cemetery.
During his first mandate, Trump largely prepared speeches during the delivery of his remarks by the Memorial Day. He participated in the ceremony in Arlington during the first three years of his presidency before moving to Fort Mchenry in Baltimore during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
Trump’s Memorial Day’s message came two days after politically inflexity Departure address At the West Point American military academy, where the president combined traditional councils with graduates with more openly supporting themes.
In the speech, Trump praised his electoral victory last year and violated some of his grievances on the investigations on him. He wore a red hat “Make America Great Again” during the speech.
He also told the graduate cadets that they would be the first to serve the “golden age” of the military, praising his efforts at length to rid the army of diversity initiatives and criticize his predecessors to enter what he considered as wars of choice.
“The work of the American armed forces is not to organize dragster shows, to transform foreign cultures (and) to spread democracy to everyone in the world to the point of a firearm,” he said. “Army’s work consists in dominating any enemy and destroying any threat to America, anywhere, at any time and any place.”
In his speech, Trump also offered somewhat offbeat advice so as not to marry “trophies”, quoting as an example a friend who moved to Monte Carlo with a younger bride, to suffer later when he lost his “momentum”. Trump proposed history as a point of view to graduates.
Trump has already aroused criticism of inserting political messages on traditionally apolitical occasions and parameters.
During his first mandate, he went to the Twitter media-social platform in 2018 to wish the Americans a “Good commemorative day” ” Writing: “Those who died for our big country are very happy and proud of the way our country is carrying out today”, highlighting its own political victories instead of the sacrifice carried out by the American armed services.
And in August 2024, the American army has issued a rare reprimand After Trump’s campaign recorded a video during the visit of the Arlington National Cemetery of some of the members of the service killed during the American chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. In a statement, the army wrote that Trump and its staff “had been informed of federal laws, army and DOD policies, which clearly prohibit political activities for cemetery reasons.”
At the time, the Trump campaign underlined a declaration from the Gold Star families which he accompanied, saying that they gave his videographer and his photographer to be permission to be there, although images of the visit have shown the tombs of other American soldiers whose families have not authorized.
The president initially published a different version of the Memorial Day Post on Monday, but seems to have deleted the original version (which had minor grammatical errors) and republished it again.
