President Trump chose to acknowledge the solemn occasion that is Memorial Day by tweeting about himself. He, of course, has not spent a day in military service; Trump has moreover berated and degraded true military heroes like Senator John McCain (R-AZ) who was held captive as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
The President tweeted, saying:
“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!”

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrumpHappy 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!
The incredibly self-serving tweet is a departure from statements made by other politicians who take the opportunity to thank the military for their service and honor the sacrifices of those who have died in service to the United States.
Paris Dennard is a Republican strategist and Trump apologist. He defended the President’s tweet on CNN Monday. He also told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that “the soldiers who fought, bled, and died did so for the freedoms of America.”
He went on, “They did so so we can have the opportunity to live in a free enterprise system, where we do have a strong economy.” He added, “They did so so that we would live under American rule and law and not under rule of communism or socialism or under the Islamic state.”
Dennard continued to defend Trump by saying, “And so because of their sacrifices and because of people who serve right now, fighting for us and protecting us, we have had the freedoms and free enterprise system and capitalist system that allows us to have an amazing economy.” He proceeded, stating, “So the President’s remarks via Twitter and his remarks there at Arlington were heartfelt and were appropriate.”
Baldwin pressed Dennard further asking about Trump’s choice to tweet about “this spy conspiracy and Russia before going to Arlington and laying that wreath.” She asked, “Why go there, today of all days?”
Dennard responded, “The President is able to tweet and talk about multiple things.” He continued, “I think the President has a right — we all have freedom of speech, which is one of those things that those soldiers protect us for the Constitution
....it just goes on and on like that. He is a token moron.
