On Memorial Day, America remembers its heroes. Donald Trump attacked judges.
While real leaders honor sacrifice with humility and resolve, Donald Trump used the day to rage on Truth Social — calling federal judges:
“Monsters who want our country to go to hell”
“Very dangerous for our country”
“USA-hating judges”
and
“An ideology that is sick”
This wasn’t an offhand comment. It was a calculated assault on the judiciary — posted on a day meant to honor those who gave their lives defending the Constitution. And when a man like Trump targets judges with this kind of language, history tells us just how dangerous that can become.
America deserves better.
Lincoln, in the ashes of war, called for “malice toward none; with charity for all.”
Washington warned against “the impostures of pretended patriotism.”
Kennedy inspired generations with:
“Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
And Commander Dan Shanower, a Navy officer killed at the Pentagon on 9/11, reminded us:
“Freedom isn’t free.”
Those are the voices of courage and public service.
Trump reigns down corruption, chaos, and cruelty — not to serve the country, but to settle scores and cling to power.
I’m running for Congress in California’s 41st District to fight back. To stand up for working families, defend our democracy, and restore character, competence, and compassion to public life.
We don’t honor the fallen with fury and conspiracy.
We honor them by living the values they died to protect.
