President Donald Trump kicked off Memorial Day with a blast aimed at political enemies—then headed to Arlington National Cemetery to honor America’s fallen service members.
Monday morning started on Truth Social. Trump posted that “Dumocrats, RINOS, and Fools” were criticizing his administration’s ongoing negotiations with Iran. In the same message. he wrote. “Happy Memorial Day to all. including the Dumocrats. who disrespect our Military. ” while praising members of the armed forces and honoring Americans who “made the ultimate sacrifice.”.
Trump also mocked critics of a possible Iran deal. He called them “losers” and argued that any agreement would be far stronger than the Obama-era nuclear deal he scrapped during his first term.
By later that day, the tone shifted. Trump appeared alongside Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
At the historic site—where the remains of unidentified American soldiers who passed away in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War are held—Trump stepped forward alone to place the wreath.
The ceremony unfolded after a weekend filled with attention on possible negotiations with Iran. Trump cited those talks as the reason he would be unable to attend his son Don Jr.’s wedding on Saturday, as reports suggested his administration is working toward a potential agreement.
