On Memorial Day 2025, President Donald Trump unleashed a holiday greeting in all capital letters to Americans, including what he calls “THE SCUM.”
Trump said in a lengthy post on Truth Social: “HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY.”
“HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL.
“BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

Jack Posobiec of Human Events noted: “Trump is now using Memorial Day to rip into the scum who were destroying our country from within. Is this what you voted for?”
Mike Sington, a retired senior executive at NBCUniversal said: “Trump’s Memorial Day message to America is disgraceful, unhinged, and the rant of a mentally deranged madman. Just more proof he’s completely unfit to hold the office of President.”
There is plenty of other mixed reaction online, including:
“Ya gotta LOVE President Trump’s Memorial Day Truth! And the fact that it’s in ALL CAPS too… ”
“On Memorial Day and every day, Donald Trump is an insult to those who died serving this nation.”
“President Trump unleashed an angry tirade against the Marxist movement destroying our country on Memorial Day. Media will attack him for ‘not honoring the troops’ on this solemn day, but they don’t realize that’s exactly what he did. Almost all of the men and women who fought and died for America sacrificed everything to protect a country they loved. A country based on the rule of law with strong borders, ethical judges, legitimate elections, free speech, and the American Dream. They didn’t die for Marxists who hate our country and want to destroy it from within. President Trump and his voters know this and that’s his message on Memorial Day is so well said. God bless the troops that gave up everything to keep America Free. May we ensure our country truly is free so that their sacrifices were not made in vain.”
“F*** Trump’s entire message. Tone deaf, self indulgent and a slap in the face to veterans. ‘Happy’ Memorial Day. F***ing clown.”
“Trump could’ve just stopped at Happy Memorial Day.”
