Trump's And Obama's Memorial Day Tweets Were A Lesson In Contrast—And People Definitely Took Notice

Monday, May 27, was Memorial Day, the holiday the U.S. uses to honor the brave men and women who have died in the line of duty.

President Trump acknowledged the occasion in a series of wordless tweets showing videos and pictures of himself at Arlington National Ceremony.




President Trump, who was overseas in Japan for Memorial Day, made a point of meeting with American troops stationed on an assault ship nearby. That didn't stop his critics, however, from pointing out his tenuous history with the military.

During the Vietnam War, President Trump managed to dodge military service due to bone spurs, though many of the President's detractors believe the medical issue was a fabrication.




Trump's Arlington Cemetery videos did little to impress Twitter.



Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama sent out a heartfelt tweet that reminded many of his eloquence.

Twitter was touched by the former President's sentiment.

He DID, however, make a point of wishing the Japanese military a happy Memorial Day.


People felt that America's fallen soldiers deserve better.

Last year, Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 150, a bill that bans all gender-affirming care for transgender youth, saying at the time that the legislation "tears away the freedom of parents to make important and difficult medical decisions for their kids.”

Donald Trump Jr. was widely mocked after he attempted to declare victory over "woke" ideology in a tweet over the weekend—only for his demand for what to "take out" next to fall flat on its face.

Let's be honest: It's harder than ever before to find a rental arrangement that matches our needs, our budgets, and our tastes.

During discussions of proposed legislation—The Treaty Principles Bill—that critics say would significantly infringe on indigenous land and cultural rights, legislator Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke led her fellow lawmakers in a haka, a traditional Māori ceremonial dance.
