Trump spends Memorial day insulting former-Marine congressman over impeachment vote

BY VINNIE LONGOBARDO
PUBLISHED ON MAY 25, 2020

Memorial Day in America is typically a day of remembrance of our fallen service members who died protecting our country’s freedoms, not to mention celebratory parades, picnics, barbecues, and trips to the beach or local water hole.

Memorial Day 2020 is something quite different — and not just because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions that have made social distancing more important to preserve one’s health than any need to congregate in crowds.

For Donald Trump, the holiday weekend was a day to set a bad example to the American people that he is urging to ignore the risks of contagion and get back to work while he spends two days playing golf rather than trying to improve his disastrously failing performance in managing the federal response to the pandemic.

That and endlessly tweeting reprehensible posts that betray his palpable panic over the prospect that his bumbling and selfish handling of the coronavirus crisis has torpedoed any conceivable chance that he had of being re-elected and staying out of prison.
