President Donald Trump issued his Memorial Day message on Twitter Monday lauding the state of the U.S. under his administration saying the fallen would be happy to see the country as it is today.
Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!
