Former President Trump used Memorial Day as an opportunity to launch scathing attacks on the judges presiding over the civil and criminal trials against him. In addition, he referred to his political opponents as “human scum.”
In a recent post on Truth Social, there was a solemn tribute to the fallen. However, Trump didn’t hold back his criticisms of President Biden and the judges in a detailed statement.

“Sending my heartfelt wishes for a Happy Memorial Day to everyone, including those individuals who are working tirelessly to undermine the greatness of our beloved country,” proclaimed Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, in a post on Truth Social.
In a scathing remark, he singled out Judge Lewis Kaplan, labeling him as a “Trump Hating Federal Judge with Radical Left views.” Judge Kaplan presided over two defamation cases brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, both of which resulted in losses for Trump. The former president was ordered to pay over $80 million in damages, a ruling he is currently appealing.
In addition to criticizing Judge Arthur Engoron for his ruling in a civil business fraud trial that led to Trump being fined over $450 million, the former president referred to him as a “wacko.” Trump also hinted at the possibility of launching similar attacks against Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing his ongoing criminal hush money trial.
In contrast to President Biden’s somber address at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, this statement takes a different tone. President Biden used the occasion to reflect on the loss of his son, Beau Biden, who tragically passed away due to brain cancer. It is believed that his exposure to toxic chemicals during his service in the Iraq War may have been a contributing factor.
“I understand the pain you’re going through,” Biden empathized with the families of fallen veterans. “The pain is still fresh, still deeply felt. It’s been nine years since I lost my son Beau.”
“The pain of his loss lingers within me every day, just as it does within you,” he expressed. “It remains sharp and clear, but alongside that pain, there is also a deep sense of pride in his service. It’s as if I can still hear him saying, ‘It’s my duty, Dad. It’s my duty.'”
Numerous congressional leaders expressed their thoughts on the holiday by sharing statements of remembrance and gratitude on Monday.
