Even though neither he nor anyone in his immediate family has ever served a single day in the U.S. military, Eric Trump wants us to believe that the entire Trump clan “gave up everything to Save America.”
That’s the message Eric conveyed on Twitter over the Memorial Day weekend when he shared a post from another social media user.
That didn’t sit well with many, and it prompted a fierce backlash against Eric and the Trumps.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) message in honor of Memorial Day didn’t go very well for her, and she has no one to blame for it but herself
On Monday, Greene posted this from her Twitter account:
Take a close look at the flag on that meme. As HuffPost rightly notes, it doesn’t have the right number of stars on it.
Greene’s message contained a version of the U.S. flag with just 18 stars.
PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing media, and several other critics spotted the error of the conspiracy theorist lawmaker, who has called for a “national divorce” and spoke last year at a white nationalist event:
There has never been an official U.S. flag with 18 stars.
It didn’t take long before Margie got lit up on social media, both for her incorrect flag and the times she’s voted against veterans.
For Independence Day in July, will Margie use a British flag?
As the nation honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States on this Memorial Day, failed and indicted former president Donald Trump decided he’d defile the memory of those who died in battle by posting an all-caps screed on his Truth Social site in which he railed against “communists, Marxists, and fascist pigs!”
“HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY THEY LOVE, AND TO THOSE IN LINE OF A VERY DIFFERENT, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS FIRE, STOPPING THE THREATS OF THE TERRORISTS, MISFITS AND LUNATIC THUGS WHO ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY FROM WITHIN TO OVERTURN AND DESTROY OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN IN GREATER PERIL THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW,. WE MUST STOP THE COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS AND FASCIST ‘PIGS’ AT EVERY TURN AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
How exactly does that honor the memories of the millions who have died to protect the freedoms we enjoy in this country? And what gives Trump the right to complain about anything when the legal peril he’s facing is his own damn fault?
Just last month, the disgraced ex-president had to surrender to authorities in Manhattan after being indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and video of that event made it clear that he was seething as he faced the consequences of his actions:
Trump may also be indicted soon in Georgia and by the Department of Justice. He’s been criming his entire life, and now that he’s having to pay the piper for those crimes, he’s lashing out because he thinks he’s above the law.
Here’s hoping by this time next year the Donald will be in prison for the rest of his pathetic life.
