He tweeted Happy Memorial Day!
Pathetic and a lousy way to honor their memory.

I don't think he has the faintest understanding of the concepts of solemnity or reflection or sorrow for anyone but himself.

He sees it as a day off for relaxation and fun. I mean, its the unofficial start of summer. Party on!
All meaning behind the holiday is lost. He wouldnt do the ceremonial stuff today if he didnt have to.
His Happy Good Friday was incredibly tone deaf. Again, he saw it as the start of a three-day weekend.
Meanwhile, hundreds of folks at his resorts And hotels are working for grade-A assholes at the moment (if anyone is actually there).

Memorial Day is not a 'happy' holiday, but a time for reflection on the sacrifices that other made in service to our nation. Some even went in your place, Cadet Bonespurs, so just shut the fuck up with your 'happy' bullshit, and have someone read your sinking polls to you.
