Donald Trump spent Memorial Day morning rage-posting about his political enemies before most Americans had finished their first cup of coffee — attacking critics over the growing Iran crisis sparked by his own military escalation.
The president began firing off posts on his Truth Social platform shortly after 6 a.m. Monday, kicking off the holiday with attacks on critics of his Iran war policy, mocking Democrats as ‘Dumocrats,’ and lashing out at RINOs in his own party who criticize his leadership.
At 5:10 a.m., Trump slammed Americans questioning a possible deal with Iran aimed at ending the conflict he launched earlier this year, calling critics “losers.”
He wrote: 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.”
Eight minutes later, Trump posted what he framed as a Memorial Day message — though much of it focused on attacking Democrats.
“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats,” Trump wrote, accusing Democrats of disrespecting the military despite offering no evidence to support the claim.
He then added: “God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all!”
The post came as Trump continues facing scrutiny over the deadly consequences of his military escalation with Iran. U.S. military operations tied to the conflict have already resulted in the deaths of 13 American service members.
Just minutes later, Trump was back online attacking Democrats again.
The outburst continues a pattern that has become familiar during Trump’s presidency: using solemn national holidays to air grievances and attack political opponents instead of focusing on the occasion itself.
This year, the target was criticism over the increasingly chaotic Iran situation — a conflict Trump helped create through months of escalating military action and inflammatory rhetoric.
Rather than projecting calm leadership on a day meant to honor fallen American troops, Trump once again turned the spotlight onto himself, his grievances, and his political enemies.
