I especially like the all caps and the "21,000,000 MILLION." That's 21 trillion.
May 26, 2025
First, he just exclaims "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!" but then he thinks again, and by "thinks again," I don't mean he questioned whether "HAPPY" is the right word.
I mean he decided it would be better to say "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM....":

Might as well have been 21 trillion.
Take Trump seriously; not literally.
it's Good to see that the present Administration is accepting of the Scum that tried to Destroy America..
For Fun! think about what message Kammy Harris would put out if she was President?
ps, i just checked, and her statement was Sunday,
while Speaking at the Australian Real Estate Conference..
What did You Do for Memorial Day, Kammy?
"oh, i was in Australia selling Real Estate"
Harris expressed profound concern about the current state of the world amid Trump’s pursuit of his America First agenda.
“I do worry that it is important that we remember history,” Harris told the audience, according to The Guardian.. “It’s important that we remember the 1930s. It’s important that we remember that history has taught us that isolation does not equal insulation.”
Then, she said:
War Is PEACE
Freedom Is SLAVERY
Ignorance Is STRENGTH
Trump pushes back the Presidential decorum envelope.
So that is what counts as a lucid moment for Trump now?
Whatever you’re doing today, please stop and take a moment to remember what today is for.
Kak. You voted for Biden. You have as much credibility as a paper suit.
Memorial Day is not a happy occasion.
Apparently, President Trump is getting no props for his open-hearted inclusivity. My message would have extended holiday wishes to everyone EXCEPT the scum….and I’ll bet we would each get the same reaction.

Happy Holocaust Memorial Day, Trump.
This kind of holiday message is par for the course for Trump, he has been doing this all along.
Trump is being fully transparent and laying it all out there.
A display of opprobrium won’t deliver the justice required to hold the legion of shitbirds accountable for their insurrection.
I don't think Trump cares about the real meaning of Memorial day, since almost no one does. Its to honor the dead the of civil war. But since we're dis-honoring half the soldiers, And we're throwing statues of R.E. Lee into the furnace. Its more or less gone away.
But its good see Trump attacking the traitorous Democrats and open border Republicans.
I am happy to report that the CEO of the company where my youngest is interning this summer sent a company-wide email Friday urging all employees to observe the minute of silence at 3pm today, and thanking those employees who are giving up time with their families today to perform critical functions.
As to the Truth or whatever they call it, sigh. Do I wish it were possible to file down those burrs? You bet I do. But Trump, unlike his opponents, is not an empty suit - he's... let's call him a man of parts. Not all of them what I would choose, but I can't tell which characteristics of his have been necessary to his successes and which are just ancillary.
President Trump is like a teacher on Memorial Day, no class.
You just don't see it yet in Madison, huh?
Shouldn't you be at the Brat Fest celebrating with all the other Madisonians? lol

Speak for yourself, sister.
Remember and celebrate what they died for.
This attitude that Memorial Day is not happy is a loser mentality. Trump is not a loser, nor are the men -- and women -- today who are truly celebrating. They didn't die in vain. Duh.
“President Trump is like a teacher on Memorial Day, no class.”
“Fight. Fight. Fight.” That was class. That was class in an unguarded moment in the face of personal danger.
KBA .... great show and nobody gonna do anything Putin says trump suffering from emotional breakdown . Putin in charge weak leadership doing nothing but whining how unhappy they are. NO DUH! Memorial Day and they still keep dying and nobody does anything..no sanctions, no nothing,, didn't we watch Germany do the same to the Jews as we stood by and watched. History repeats :(

It's to remember the dead from all our wars. From the first one to Afghanistan.
The 21,000,000 million is caused by changing ones mind about whether to write out a large number or to use a smaller number along with a word to get right magnitude but then not deleting the the superfluous part. I do it sometimes.
Dinky etal don't like being called traitors on Memorial Day- they won't like it tomorrow either.
as john dunne put it 'if treason doth prosper, dare call it treason'
Should be parens around (million).
Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum who support Donald Trump. See how civil I am, no ALL CAPS shouting.
Its to honor the dead the of civil war.
It was to honor the Union dead. Confederate Memorial Day is celebrated on another day and is still a holiday in several states.
Althouse writes, "That's 21 trillion."
Many people, Democrats mostly, can't get the heads around twelve zeros, but they instinctively know Million is bad.
The ALL CAPS grates. Perhaps a “let’s reflect on the sacrifice of our soldiers, sailors, and pilots. They always will be the best of who we are as a nation.”
What a douche
Trump is in the arena, it’s a fight to the death. A polite man would have been crushed long ago. So get huffy, I don’t care.
If there were no Trump, we would have to invent him. Maybe we did.
@RCOCEAN, how old are you, 15? Younger?
I’m a septuagenarian and a Vietnam Era draftee, and there is a wall made of polished black granite down in the District of Columbia that has the names of some classmates with whom I went to school chiseled into its surface. I remember Memorial Day every year. I got lucky, or my name might also be there on that wall.
Victoria writes, "What a douche"
Extremely poor rhetoric, Vicky. You need to specify exact what sort of douche you are and to what degree. "What a douche" tells us nothing we don't already know about you.
Althouse, why do you pretend that the social media posts of politicians, celebrities and the wealthy are posted by them personally? Somebody let the intern do a Memorial Day post at the White House, because everyone else was out for the day. If Trump has ever touched a keyboard to post on X in person, I'd be surprised. If evidence surfaced that dementia Joe did so as well, I'd be agog.
I’m not a fan of grammar and usage trolls for social media. Humanity has been using this tool long enough that we should recognize there’s no brownie points for correcting someone on the media. It has it’s own form and slang and (lax) standards of speech. You want to critique these types of errors in Trump’s books or Presidential communications have at it but when it comes to informal communication like social media- read the room, lady…
And not one sentence about the actual meaning of this day.
"Confederate Memorial Day is celebrated on another day and is still a holiday in several states."
To paraphrase US Grant..."Never have a people fought a war over a worse cause"
It really makes me lament that I could not vote for him!
I did send money, first time I've sent money to a pol in more than 30 years. Almost voted for him in Chicago in 16 but had other things to do.
But, yes, yes, yes. He is MY president and I love him more and more every day.

How about naw.
You are murderous violent fascist scum. GTFO of our country.
There are times I wish Trump would just stick to his original message. This is one of those times.

Since the Democrat party is still the party of racism, segregation, and importation of people to exploit for cheap labor you are still essentially the Confederate Party.
The constant flouting of Federal Laws against racism and employing illegal imported and exploited labor just makes you insurrectionists.
And your constant violence and attacks on your political opponents just makes you incompatible with a free society.
You should be treated the same way as the Democrat Confederates you are.

You mean, that after four years of rebellion which cost the lives of 600,000 thousand (see, I am just like Trump with numbers) people, I should be forgiven, allowed to keep all my land (even the horses I brought with me to wage war against the U.S.), and eleven years later, basically reinstitute slavery? Oh yeah, and my slaves will be freed, but will they be compensated for their 300 years of involuntarily servitude with at least 40 acres and a mule?
Hell no. All is forgiven. We even dropped the treason charges against Jefferson Davis and didn't even bother to charge Robert E Lee (although, with a slap on the wrist we revoked his citizenship).
Donald's post reads "21,000,000 MILLION" which is never expressed that way, since American terminology declares that a million time a million is a trillion. But his IQ cannot discern that he should never have posted a figure larger than our entire population of 350,000,000 (350 million).

How many women and children were raped on the trail through Central America and Mexico so they could pay the Cartels to sneak into the US?
Was it worth it to you Freder?
Do you have enough blood on your hands trying to get your masters some cheap labor and democrats a few more voters?
You are scum.

We can forgive you after you are defeated and you adhere to a promise to obey our laws.
That means no more racist policies and no more illegal laborer exploitation.
"and no more illegal laborer exploitation."
Hardly seems fair. Think about all those soccer moms in the DC suburbs- who's going to clean their houses and mow their lawns?
