President Donald Trump made it just over four minutes into his Memorial Day speech before airing his grievances.
The president commemorated the solemn holiday at Arlington National Cemetery with a speech honoring military service personnel who lost their lives while serving their country, but he could not pass up an opportunity to attack his predecessor Joe Biden.
"This Memorial Day is especially significant as we commemorate 250 years since the first American patriots fell on the field of battle, two and a half centuries ago at Lexington Green, Concord Bridge, Bunker Hill, brave minutemen and humble farm boys became the first to give their lives for a nation that did not yet have a name," Trump said. "With their deaths, men like John Vrown, 23, Samuel Hadley, 28, and Abner Hosmer, 21, ignited the flame of liberty that now lights the inspires everybody and the entire world. Those young men could never have known what their sacrifice would mean to us, but we certainly know what we owe to them. Their valor gave us the freest, greatest and most noble republic ever to exist on the face of the earth, a republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years.
"That was a hard four years we went through," Trump added. "Who would let that happen? People pouring through our borders unchecked, people doing things that are indescribable and not for today to discuss, but the republic that is now doing so very well. We're doing so very well right now, considering the circumstances, and will do record-setting better with time. We will do better than we've ever done as a nation, better than ever before, I promise you that. In every generation since at Trenton and Yorktown, at Vicksburg and Shiloh, and in faraway places with names like Château-Thierry, Anzio, Iwo Jima, Khe Sanh, Kandahar, really just a few chosen names, and these are names that have become so important on the altar of freedom."
