On a somber Memorial Day weekend, the president did not mention the mounting coronavirus toll and instead retweeted personal attacks on his political rivals.

Mr. Trump reposted eight tweets from John K. Stahl, a conservative former political candidate, including attacks on Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Stacey Abrams, the black former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives who is considered a potential Democratic vice-presidential pick.
Mr. Stahl, who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Californias 52nd District in 2012, has a history of derogatory posts, especially against black women. He has referred online to Senator Kamala Harris of California who is of Indian and Jamaican descent and is another potential running mate for Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as Willies Ho, an apparent reference to Willie Brown, the powerful California State Assembly speaker who was her mentor and onetime boyfriend.
Mr. Stahl has called Ms. Abrams Shamu and posted racist remarks about Joy Reid, the African-American MSNBC host. When youre born butt ugly, changing your hairstyle every day is only going to make you look phonier than you nonsense, pathetic show, he wrote of Ms. Reid, calling her a skank.
Among the posts Mr. Trump retweeted on Saturday, one accused Ms. Pelosi of wearing dentures and drinking booze on the job. Another mocked Ms. Abramss appearance by saying that she visited every buffet restaurant in the State during her unsuccessful campaign for Georgia governor, and that Mr. Biden would be a racist if he doesnt pick her as his running mate.
