'Deranged Lunatic': Critics Blast Trump After 'Utterly Unfit' Holiday Rant

The president spent Memorial Day firing off grievance-filled messages.

Critics are calling out President Donald Trump for marking Memorial Day with a wild all-caps rant in which he slammed the previous administration as “scum,” attacked former President Joe Biden, and railed against judges who’ve blocked parts of his agenda.

Trump on Monday wrote:

Donald Trump on Truth Social

Memorial Day is typically a somber holiday intended to honor the nation’s war dead.

Trump, however, spent at least part of the day airing his grievances.

In addition to the all-caps rant on his Truth Social page, he fired off another threat toward Harvard University, gave a speech at Arlington National Cemetery in which he bragged that he has “everything” during his second term in office, and reposted a message calling Biden a “decrepit corpse.”

Trump’s critics put him on blast:

Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic who wouldn’t be allowed to manage a Wendy’s. But I guess we all have to pretend like this is normal and not 25th amendment behavior.

People who treat this as acceptable are the insane ones. pic.twitter.com/6XmUg1vXLv

This is what's baffling about the "Trump wins because he talks like a normal person" argument: if anyone you knew went on a rant like this, you'd say, "Chill the fuck out, man." This is not what a normal person sounds like. pic.twitter.com/OnxOItuUEo

Truly amazing to consider how much time has been spent the last few weeks taking about Joe Biden’s mental health pic.twitter.com/IUQdOFVpxg

Is there even a conventional wisdom for why he posts like this on every holiday now? Or is it just something embarrassing and obscene that we all agree we're better off just pretending isn't happening? pic.twitter.com/bI6saW3WKd

Trump can’t even show basic respect on Memorial Day. Utterly unfit for office. pic.twitter.com/mK10JSrPgh

This is how Trump chooses to memorialize Americans--Republicans, Democrats, whites, people of color, men, women--who died fighting for their country.

This is about as unpresidential as one can get. pic.twitter.com/ICzMdpxG87

Thank you sir, for this uplifting message of unity on Memorial Day. You are literally the greatest Commander-in-Chief since President Ben Franklin broke bread with the Native Americans at the very first Memorial Day to honor the lives lost during the Trade War of 1812.

His bone spurs must be bothering him today, or maybe he is using this Memorial Day to remember how he harrassed military heroes like John McCain. Or how he said that those who defend our country and died are "losers." https://t.co/4JYG8umYOn

Remember the outrage when HRC used the term Deplorable. Trump is deplorable. https://t.co/VGqheu11VL
