Memorial Day, Trump Honors Fallen Soldiers; Draws Criticism Over Inappropriate  Tweet Ever

A veterans group has slammed Donald Trump’s self-congratulatory tweet Monday as the “most inappropriate” Memorial Day comment ever.

I love Donald Trump, but this time I cannot defend his tweet.

According to this:

A veterans group has slammed Donald Trump’s self-congratulatory tweet Monday as the “most inappropriate” Memorial Day comment ever made by an American president.



Trump boasted about unemployment rates and the economy in his tweet and said that dead veterans would be “very happy and proud” about what he considers his accomplishments. (Both the jobs numbers and the economy began markedly improving during the Obama administration.)

VoteVets, a group representing some 500,000 veterans and their families, bashed as “appalling” the president’s self-promotion as well as his decision to wish families of fallen veterans a “happy” day. The group was also furious at the Republican Party’s effort to essentially fundraise off Memorial Day by offering a 25 percent discount on official Trump campaign merchandise ― “Use Code: Remember.”

This was the MOST inappropriate tweet for Memorial Day. OMG! Will someone please remind President Trump the DEAD DO NOT CARE about current economics and/or blacks and Hispanic’s unemployment rates!? 

I can’t defend this tweet. It’s horrible.
