Happy Memorial Day…
As America salutes those who served today Donald Trump and President Joe Biden shared two very different messages.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee for president, shared an image showing himself saluting a grave and said, “We can never replace them. We can never repay them, but we can always remember. Today, that is what we are doing – we remember.”
However, in another post on Truth Social, Trump wrote about his various legal issues, particularly taking aim at writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused the former president of defamation and sexual assault. Trump was found liable for defamation earlier this year and ordered to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages.
“Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for ‘DEFAMATION,'” Trump wrote in the post.
“She didn’t know when the so-called event took place – sometime in the 1990’s – never filed a police report, didn’t have to produce the ‘dress’ that she threatened me with (it showed negative!), & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half – Gee, I wonder why (UNDER APPEAL!)?
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Biden wrote, “Since America’s founding, our service members have laid down their lives for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States. Today, as generations of heroes lie in eternal peace, we live by the light of liberty they kept burning. May God bless them, always.”
It included a photograph of American flags marking gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
Biden is expected to make remarks honoring Memorial Day at an annual service held at the cemetery later in the day.
