The “Me” in Memorial: President Trump used Memorial Day to brag about what he believes are his accomplishments in office.

“Happy Memorial Day!” he tweeted yesterday. “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!”

The war dead would be so pleased.

Trump’s campaign website also offered a 25 percent discount during its “Memorial Day Sale.”

“You ONLY have a few hours left to get 25% off ALL Official Trump Store purchases before the Memorial Day sale is OVER,” read an email blast to customers. The code word to get discount MAGA caps and bathing suits was “remember.”

So touching.

Trump’s version of truth and reality is a matter of perpetual debate. Over the weekend he falsely claimed that Democrats are responsible for his policy of separating illegal immigrants from their children. He lied. The Washington Post has tracked more than 3,000 distortions and outright lies delivered by the President.

The NY Times’ Maggie Haberman tweeted, “I have written stories about his lies, falsehoods, whoppers, half-truths, salesman-like stretches. The reality is that what he does can be hard to label because, as anyone who has worked for him will tell you in candor, he often thinks whatever he says is what’s real.”

“President Trump is a liar, CNN’s Brian Stelter said, “This has been well-documented. He misleads the public constantly. But: Not everything he says is a lie. I think we need to keep distinguishing between deflections, exaggerations and straight up lies.”

Now This: The President was up early this morning tweeting the following: “The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!”
