Trump gives speech at Memorial Day ceremony

During a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, Donald Trump gave a speech that stirred controversy. He was joined by Vice President JD Vance and touched on upcoming events like the military parade in Washington, D.C. for the US Army’s 250th anniversary, which also coincides with his birthday. Trump, while reflecting on missing the previous four years, expressed relief at not being in office and boasted about the US hosting the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. His remark about “having everything” was met with criticism for being inappropriate during such a solemn occasion.

Online, many criticized Trump’s comments as disrespectful, with some calling his speech disgraceful for focusing on sporting events and his personal gains. Meanwhile, on Truth Social, Trump posted a heated message honoring fallen soldiers while attacking President Joe Biden, accusing him of enabling an influx of migrants. In his speech, Trump also condemned the Biden administration for what he described as “unchecked” migration, lamenting the “hard four years” under Biden and claiming that America would soon be “safe and great again.”
