RELENTLESS: Manic Trump Kicks Off Memorial Day With Rage Post

Draft-dodging President Donald Trump kicked off Memorial Day by flying into a full-blown hissy fit over criticism of his bungled war negotiations. . . Trump, who received five military deferments during the 1960s, four for academic reasons and one for bone spurs, started the national holiday by airing personal grievances, rather than issuing a heartfelt tribute to the nation’s fallen.

President Donald Trump kicked off Memorial Day morning with a series of fiery Truth Social posts attacking his political opponents. Beginning around 6:10 a.m. EDT, the president lashed out at critics of his administration’s ongoing war negotiations with Iran.
The Early-Morning Post Flurry
According to reports from outlets like The Daily Beast and The New York Post, the president's early holiday messaging unfolded across multiple posts:
  • 6:10 a.m. EDT: Trump first targeted domestic critics of his administration's diplomatic negotiations with Iran, labeling them "losers" and "fools" who should "go home and rest."
  • 6:18 a.m. EDT: He followed up with a message combining holiday greetings with political attacks, writing: “Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all!”
  • 6:26 a.m. EDT: He published another post continuing his attacks against "Dumocrats."
The Context Behind the Outburst
The holiday posting spree comes amid heavy scrutiny over the administration's military and diplomatic actions in the Middle East. The conflict with Iran, which Trump launched in February, has entered its 12th week.
Trump has faced intense pressure from both sides of the political aisle. Republican hawk loyalists like Senator Roger Wicker and Senator Lindsey Graham have publicly warned the president against making a weak or "disastrous" deal with Tehran, while other factions are critical of the administration entangling U.S. troops in a foreign conflict.
 
Public and Official Response
  1. The early-morning tirade drew immediate backlash from political commentators, social media users, and military veterans who blasted the president for using a solemn day of remembrance to air personal and political grievances. 
  2. Observers noted it followed a pattern from the previous year, when Trump similarly used his Memorial Day message to attack federal judges and political rivals.
Despite the early-morning online controversy, President Trump is scheduled to transition to traditional executive holiday duties later in the day, including a scheduled wreath-laying ceremony and formal address at Arlington National Cemetery.
