President Donald Trump marked Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony, paying tribute to the men and women who died in service to the country. His initial remarks reflected the gravity of the occasion, honoring the courage and selflessness of America’s military heroes.
However, the tone of the speech shifted as Trump pivoted to political topics. He took the opportunity to criticize immigration policies and hinted at the challenges faced during the previous administration. Without naming him, Trump made several indirect jabs at President Joe Biden.
The former president’s social media activity earlier in the day added fuel to the fire. His all-caps posts attacked federal judges and Biden directly, drawing criticism from those who felt the solemn holiday should remain free of partisan rhetoric.
