1. He never misses an opportunity to pat himself on the back for things he even didn't do,

and here, on a grotesquely inappropriate occasion. We don't recognize Memorial Day in order to celebrate the claimed accomplishments of the narcissistic pig squatting in the White House.

Disgusting.

2. Please tell me that Trumps tweet is a joke

I don't have the emotional energy today to go on Twitter and look it up...that shit is fucking disgusting!

3. Sorry. It is real.

4. 3 years ago

the right was outraged about the tweet below.
I wish happiness to everyone. I don't need to be somber all weekend to remember those who gave everything. I'm conscious of that every day of my life.

6. Look at the responses to that tweet from right-wingers

And then look at what those same people say about Trump when he makes the same remark.

10. What's wrong with Trump's tweets is not the use of the word "happy"

although that's probably not the best word to use to recognize a day set aside to commemorate the deaths of soldiers. What's really wrong - and what Obama did not do - is Trump's use of the occasion to pat himself on the back:

"Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!"

and to whine about the investigation.

11. Good point

What I was highlighting, though, is the hypocrisy of the right-wingers who attacked the tweet from Democrats saying Happy Memorial Day but are fine when Trump says the same thing.

5. What a POS. Happy? Maybe reverent or meaningful

Somehow he can twist anything into being about him.

7. What a dumbass.

Turn a veteran's cemetery into another Trump Golf Resort.

That will really honor their memory.

8. The majority of people are at parties or heading to the beach this weekend

This is a bad hill to try and die on.

I've wished many people a happy memorial day weekend because I know what their plans are.

13. My majority are heading to cemeteries and parades and observances

To honor our dead veterans. Some are on vacation.

Many people question this president, but it’s no small achievement to write the grossest, most inappropriate, most self-flattering Memorial Day message in the history of the US presidency
