Draft-dodging President Donald Trump kicked off Memorial Day by flying into a full-blown hissy fit over criticism of his bungled war negotiations.
Starting off with a 104-word mega sentence, Trump marked the holiday by breathlessly raging at “Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools.”
His main Memorial Day message, however, stole the show. “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! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he wrote, before firing off a third post aimed at his detractors.
The considerably shorter message capped off a stunning AM assault on the so-called “Dumocrats” from the 79-year-old, who received five military deferments during the 1960s, four for academic reasons and one for bone spurs.
His first post of the morning was by far the longest, at 206 words.
“I laugh at all of the Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools who know nothing about the potential deal I am making with Iran, things that haven’t even been negotiated yet, weak and ineffective people like failed Senator Thom Tillis (Soon out of office!), Bill Cassidy, who just suffered a massive Primary loss, really bad Congressman Thomas Massie, a major sleazebag who lost in a landslide to a great American Patriot (Endorsed by “TRUMP”) after showing tremendous disloyalty to his Party (and Country!), and almost all Dumocrats, people that have totally lost their way, constantly supporting bad policy and even worse candidates, but are constantly critical of each and every fantastic win I have,” Trump, who allegedly faked an injury to avoid being drafted during the Vietnam war, wrote.
Finishing off his diatribe, he took a veiled jibe at Barack Obama, adding, “These people should go home and rest, they do nothing but create division and loss. In other words, they are losers! The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one, or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed Obama Administration, which was a direct and open path to a Nuclear Weapon for Iran. No, I don’t do deals like that! President DJT.”
Trump appeared to be reacting to growing calls for answers on why negotiations with Iran are taking so long, with the Strait of Hormuz still blockaded.
After ranting about “fools,” “sleazebags,” and losers, he posted the Memorial Day message in which he said, “I love you all.”
He ended the Monday morning trilogy with, “The Dumocrats have BAD POLICY, AND BAD CANDIDATES. Other than that, they are doing quite well! President DJT”
The president is no stranger to a holiday meltdown. He spent Christmas Day 2025 firing off more than 100 posts and reposts on Truth Social in a marathon overnight posting spree that mixed holiday greetings with personal grievances, election conspiracies, and attacks on political enemies.
The barrage began after midnight and stretched into Christmas morning, with Trump amplifying posts targeting Democrats, immigrants, and longtime rivals while continuing to push false claims about the 2020 election.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein,” he wrote, capping off his marathon.
This amalgamation of personal grievances and holiday wishes has become something of a tradition for Trump. During Thanksgiving in 2024, when he was president-elect, he used X to offer good wishes to everyone, even the “Radical Left Lunatics.”
One of the clearest early examples came during the 2018 Christmas season, when Trump fused holiday messaging with his demands for $5 billion in U.S.-Mexico border wall funding during a government shutdown fight.
“I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security,” he said, in what is considered a classic of the holiday-posting genre.
The following year, at Thanksgiving 2019, he used the holiday to rage against an impeachment inquiry against him, branding investigator Adam Schiff “corrupt” and “deranged.”
The habit intensified after Trump left office and became consumed by investigations and the 2020 election, which he says, erroneously, was rigged. During Christmas 2023, while facing multiple criminal indictments, Trump used holiday posts to rail against “thugs,” “Marxists,” and “corrupt crooks,” while accusing the Biden administration of weaponizing the justice system against him.
During Easter 2024, Trump attacked “Crooked Joe Biden,” “Radical Left Maniacs,” prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials tied to his criminal cases.
But his Memorial Day messages draw particular rancor, given the holiday’s meaning. In 2020, even while attending wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, Trump spent the weekend attacking governors, railing against mail-in voting, and accusing the media of spreading “Fake News.”
After leaving office in 2021, his Memorial Day statement veered into an attack on the Biden administration over immigration, China, and energy policy, declaring the country had gone “to hell” under “radical left” leadership.
By 2023, his Memorial Day message had expanded to include a lengthy rant against “thugs and lunatics” destroying the country—signing off with a sarcastic happy Memorial Day to the “human scum” he accused of undermining America.
In 2024, alongside the customary tribute to fallen troops, he used the occasion to attack prosecutors involved in his criminal cases and cast himself as a victim of political persecution.
