AWKWARD: Trump Wishes ‘Happy Memorial Day’ to Members of Japanese Military


.... On Tuesday morning local time, but still Memorial Day in the United States, Trump addressed members of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force on the deck of the Kaga in Yokosuka.

“I want to start by saying Happy Memorial Day,” Trump said, adding “Happy Memorial Day. It’s a great day.” ....

Trump delivered a similar greeting to troops aboard the USS Wasp.

“And I have to wish you all a very Happy Memorial Day, right?” Trump said, and added “Memorial Day — very special back home.” ....

Last year, Trump took heavy criticism over another “Happy Memorial Day” message in which he boasted about the economy, writing on Twitter “Happy Memorial Day! 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!” ....

the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief did not actually heft his obscenely bigly trowfee.

Someone else is hefting it. Master of Delusion & Illusion that he is, republican misleader Dirty Donny is giving it a FAKE lift.
