President Donald Trump honored fallen service members at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day hours after blasting his political opponents and perceived enemies as “scum” in a social media post marking the solemn day.
Largely sticking to scripted remarks, Trump — who also laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — paid tribute to veterans “who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation,” while acknowledging “an unfillable void and an unbreakable silence in the lives of all who loved them.”
During his speech at Arlington National Cemetery, Trump seemed to diverge from his scripted remarks at two points to tout his achievements or slam Biden.
In a portion of his speech dedicated to the Minutemen of the Revolutionary War, Trump heralded “the most noble Republic ever to exist,” going on to add: “A republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years – that was a hard four years we went through. Who would let that happen?” #CNN #News
