President Trump marked Memorial Day on Monday, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. In an about five-minute ceremony, Trump walked up to the wreath and stood silently before touching his hand to it and saluting.

Usually, the Memorial Day ceremony also includes a presidential address, but Trump did not speak at the cemetery.

The president will travel to Baltimore later Monday to speak at the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.

Yeah, happy your mother's funeral, too, you damned ghoul.

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.
