Let this be a day for me to speculate on how much higher my approval rating would be if everyone who sacrificed their lives for their country were still alive. Nice!

This is the most inappropriate #MemorialDay comment that a @POTUS has ever made. Self-promotion on a day to remember the fallen, and wishing those remembering their deceased loved ones a “happy” holiday is appalling. #CadetBoneSpurs

me at this point. I know there are some fanatical Trumpanzees out there but does nothing offend them? And they say they respect our troops, especially those who died in war. Trump is using our war dead as a campaign advert.

with absolutely no core, no moral compass, and imho the most extreme form of malignant narcissism possible serving as president. Will his supporters EVER recognize this?! He thinks nothing of ripping the lives of the “little” people apart if it serves some purpose of his (see the children on the border being separated from family), and he is out to destroy the fbi, cia, etc because HE is all that matters.

That tweet is so shallow, so callous — “I bet your son who was killed by an IED in Iraq wishes he were alive so he could see my totally awesome presidency!” Barf.
