Donald Trump Wishes All Of You ‘Haters And Losers’ A ‘Happy And Enjoyable Memorial Day!’
Billionaire and Twitter enthusiast Donald Trump sent a rather unique declaration to honor the Memorial Day holiday.
Donald Trump, who has spent at least one million dollars exploring whether or not he should run for president, on Sunday posted a tweet wishing everyone “including all haters and losers” a “truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!”
The Tea Party Republican presidential hopeful, who has switched political parties (four) more times than wives (three) is very active on Twitter.
“The Donald,” as he is nicknamed, is very interested in becoming Commander-in-Chief, yet apparently doesn’t understand the very concept of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day was created to honor all those who have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is not a “happy” day, but a day of remembrance and of honoring those who gave their lives in the service of the nation.Â
Many on Twitter were angered:
@realDonaldTrump You’re the king of haters and losers.

@realDonaldTrump There is NOTHING festive about “Memorial day” It’s meant to honor our brave war dead/soldiers. #NoMoreWar

That last tweet, by the way, points to this tweet sent by Apple CEO Tim Cook:
Remembering and honoring the courageous men and women who sacrificed their lives in the fight for our country and our freedom. #MemorialDay
