    This goes out to all the suckers and their families (his words, not mine) that gave their lives for this country. If you are a supporter of his and can possibly feel shame, go right ahead and do so.

    “But but Biden”
    “But but Obama”
    “But but Hillary”
    “But but Democrats”

    Let’s see if Trump sheep can address this topic without using any of the above deflections

    What a trashy person. It really says bad things about our country that he was our president, and that he is going to be the GOP candidate again.

    I continue to be shocked that anyone could support that guy. Those that do obviously don’t care about character and integrity and apparently have none themselves. They are, however, consumed by anger and resentment, e.g., hatred for Biden, “libbies”, the “radical left”, DEI, gays, etc., etc., etc.

    His '24 celebratory message was trashy to be sure, but wasn't the reference to "suckers" in a previous year's Memorial Day celebration? I don't mean to split hairs but let's ascribe each classless message appropriately.

    how anyone can claim to support the military and honor those who have sacrificed so much can support Trump defies logic

    Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ - The Atlantic

    Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

    this is the man who some here still support. I ask them, all, how do you discount such statements like these and the suckers and losers comments and still claim to be patriotic? Patriotic to who? Trump?

    Trump called American war dead in French cemetery ‘losers:’ report (thehill.com)

    Trump has previously made controversial comments about veterans. In 2015, before his presidential tenure, Trump said that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a Vietnam veteran who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, wasn’t a war hero “because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

    No, he's not psychotic. He quite obviously took the Commander-in-Chief aspect of his former position to heart.

    Paul Harvey, the rest of the story:

    Trump honors U.S. war dead, wishes 'Happy Memorial Day' to 'human scum' in legal cases (msn.com)

    On a solemn day of remembrance and honoring the nation's fallen heroes, former President Donald Trump posted rival messages honoring America's military war dead and wishing a "Happy Memorial Day to All," including, he wrote, "the Human Scum" involved in his New York legal cases.

    A lengthy mid-morning missive on his Truth Social platform focused exclusively on his court battles, primarily in New York state.

    Trump also pinned to his Truth Social account a photo of him at attention and saluting at a war memorial with the following quote: "WE CAN NEVER REPLACE THEM. WE CAN NEVER REPAY THEM. BUT WE CAN ALWAYS REMEMBER. TODAY, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING — WE REMEMBER."

    Controversial Mr. Mean Tweets? Yes. Do I wish he would have saved the post about the New York trials for tomorrow? Yes, but President Trump is required to be in a New York courtroom on Tuesday morning for closing arguments in a trial with a fascist judge, attorney general, and prosecutor who resigned 3rd position in the DOJ to handle the prosecution/persecution of President Trump along with a handpicked biased jury in a venue which has in excess of 95% democratic voters.

    It's not hard to see why the lamestream media has become so despised and thought completely untrustworthy by the American people. Today is an example and you folks herein seized upon the lamestream media dishonesty to bash President Trump for having nothing good to say on Memorial Day. The Palm Beach Post photo in the link above published from Truth Social along with the Memorial Day mid-morning bash of the New York trials are available to all news outlets, yet the lamestream media refused to post the photo with President Trump's Memorial Day message meant for the solemn part of his day and only reported Mr. Mean Tweets bashing the New York lack of justice system. To say the lamestream media is the lap dog of the democratic party is not an understatement.

    The photo with Trumps Memorial Day message the media ignored is a stock photo of Trump when he was president performing his duties on Memorial Day. The lamestream media already has the photo and many more like it. This photo is unique in it contains President Trump's 2024 Memorial Day message.

    As Paul Harvey always said to close, "good day."

    My. Goodness.

    I wonder how our children and their children will look back and assess this period of time. Not for what happened, but what we did in response to it.
