Trump speech on Memorial Day honors military, celebrates America at 250 from Arlington Cemetery
President Donald Trump delivered a history-laden Memorial Day speech after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, his remarks echoing against the solemn backdrop of Arlington National Cemetery, final resting place of more than 400,000 veterans and their family members.
The second-term Republican president’s remarks, which drew upon the ongoing 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, contrasted with his other more-combative public comments from throughout the long holiday weekend, including an all-caps message sent just hours earlier that swung hard at his political opponents and federal judges.
