Presidents typically honor fallen military members by laying a wreath and delivering a speech at the hallowed burial ground across the Potomac River from Washington. But the pandemic has led to changes this year because of restriction on gatherings.
Trump is expected to speak instead later on Memorial Day at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine. It’s where the hoisting of a huge American flag to celebrate an important victory over the British during the War of 1812 inspired “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
A wreath at Tomb of the Unknown President, Covid-45. 100,000 Known Tombs.
Before the 18 holes, after the 18 holes, or did he just drive his golf cart over in the middle of the game?
I heard his speech included the phrase, ” I dont like dead soldiers, only live ones with heal spurs”
Disgusting, despicable, reprehensible comments on this Memorial Day. Even on a legal holiday, you just can’t give your political comments a rest.
Check out the stable idiots twitter feed for real Disgusting, despicable, reprehensible comments on this Memorial Day.
Disgusting, despicable, reprehensible for a man who evaded the draft with a phony medical diagnoses dishonoring the men and women who served our great country.
Perhaps the sight of so many tombstones will remind Trump that 100,000 American citizens dien under hos watch.
Despicable for a man whose birth country is in question to unleash ISIS on the world , then orchehestrate a coup against an elected president.
Despicable for a Chicago hustler to ignore an American embassy where our people were killed.
Disgusting for Hussien to blame our Finest police before facts are in .
Disgusting that an American illegitimate president smears the name of our country to the entire world, thereby disgracing the memory of our soldiers.
Disgusting that on Memorial Day, despicable posters can’t put aside their irrational hatred at least for the day, for a decent and innocent man, and vomit their putrid ugly comments, just to honor our fallen. You’re so depressed and miserable so you wish for others to be the same.
You with the 50 names:
You shtick charah. Can’t you respect dead Americans who gave their young lives so you can burp your insanity thread after thread after thread ??
.
Reagan, you keep blabbing 1000,00 under your other IDs.
It’s more like 40,000 and I’m not convinced it’s all virus.
Meanwhile, people are dying because they’re seeing doctors for other ailments.
Maybe it you’d change the totals, nobody would know it’s you, you, you.
I must say Trumpis are as kind as the SS in Buchenwald or the kripo in LodZ

The president honored the slain servicemen whom OBUM allowed murdered in Benghazi.
I think you are getting your lies mixed up. It was Hillary who personally killed 100,000 US citizens in Benghazi, while running the pedophile ring in the back of the pizza shop. I know its hard for you to keep your alternative facts straight, but please try to act like an are really an adult.
