He also had a bunch of tweets about the Russia investigation.


Memorial Day, for politicians, is a no-brainer. You express thanks to those who have served and condolences for those who have been lost. That's it. That's the statement.

President Donald Trump went in, um, another direction on Monday.

Here's his tweet:

"Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!"

This is a tweet about Trump masquerading as a tweet about Memorial Day. The remembrance of those who fell in service to the country is used here by Trump as simply a launching pad to tout accomplishments during his first 16 months in office.

Need evidence? Ask yourself if those who died for the country did so while thinking about the current unemployment rate. Or how a family mourning someone lost fighting for the United States today would react when the President ends a tweet allegedly honoring their service with this: "Nice!"
Compare Trump's tweet to how other politicians handled Memorial Day.

Here's South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham's tweet: "On #MemorialDay we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our values and protecting our freedoms. We owe them a debt of gratitude we can never repay."

And here's what former President Barack Obama said via Twitter: "We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. But we can remember them, honor their sacrifice, and affirm in our own lives those enduring ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for which generations of Americans have given that last full measure of devotion."

Somebody's gotta do it. He ain't getting no love from the MSM (except a little from Fox).

Don't forget he's a Troll Ninja, and he's also called in some circles the DJ TriggerMan Trumpmaster D.
