Trump uses Memorial Day to insult Democrats with new childish name he invented. Gets blasted on social media.

I can't see a single comment on this AOL story, that supports Trump or Fox News who read it out like it was actual news. .

President Donald Trump blasted his rivals in a Memorial Day post, which irked conservatives.

On May 25, Fox News host Griff Jenkins casually read off President Trump's post on Truth Social. Trump posted the brutal message on Memorial Day, which is a federal holiday meant to honor U.S. military personnel who died in the line of duty. Trump also took the opportunity to mock his rivals. He also referred to the Democrats by the new nickname he had recently invented.

However, viewers took to social media to slam Jenkins' read of Trump's message, arguing the president's words were disrespectful to the military personnel who died.

What an immature, unprofessional, disrespectful thing to say, especially on such a humbling day.

I'm so sick of this man...
