But for starters, Memorial Day isn't supposed to be "happy," it's supposed to be a solemn remembrance of soldiers who died in wars. And since it's a commemoration of dead American troops, you sure wouldn't say it to members of a defeated foreign military force that was once responsible for some of those deaths. It's beyond inappropriate, but Trump just has no idea how to do these things. Every other president (even W, who was kind of a putz) understood the difference between appropriate and inappropriate statements. I guess when you're totally self-absorbed you just can't be bothered to figure it out.
