Rather than just honoring America’s fallen military heroes, President Donald Trump also chose to mark Memorial Day this year with a scathing Truth Social post — written in all caps — that called out “USA HATING” federal judges for wanting “our country to go to hell.”
“Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country … through judges who are on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, and released prisoners from all over the world, in our country so they can rob, murder, and rape again,” Trump seethed at around 7 a.m. EST.
“All protected by these USA hating judges who suffer from an ideology that is sick, and very dangerous for our country,” he blasted.

The post comes as the Trump administration continues to deal with lawsuits and rulings related to allegations of civil rights violations and court mandates being ignored in immigration cases and other legal battles related to Trump’s presidency.
A federal judge in Massachusetts, for instance, said last week that the Trump administration had “unquestionably” violated his order by deporting migrants to South Sudan — a country from which none of the migrants originate — without due process or a reasonable opportunity to raise concerns of their fear of the war-torn nation, an action he said could amount to criminal contempt of court.
Attorneys representing Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was deported to El Salvador despite his protected status, have accused the Trump administration of defying a federal judge and the U.S. Supreme Court by refusing to provide any information regarding what has been done to “facilitate” his return to the United States after he was shipped off in March. Abrego Garcia’s case stems from the government’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA), a wartime authority previously invoked only three times, the last of which was during World War II.

Trump shared other posts Monday on his Truth Social page honoring America’s fallen, including a video of a trumpet player at Arlington National Cemetery, but it was the all-caps tirade that caught most people’s attention, with it receiving more likes and reposts than any other message shared on Trump’s page Monday.
The president continued:
HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
The attack comes a little over a week after Trump lashed out at the U.S. Supreme Court for blocking his administration’s efforts to deport Venezuelan migrants under the AEA.
“The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do,” Trump declared from his Truth Social page.
The post followed a 7-2 decision from the high court that temporarily halts Trump’s use of the AEA, which was last invoked during World War II to detain and incarcerate Japanese Americans living in the United States. The wartime authority is now being used by the Department of Homeland Security to deport people who are accused of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang, allegedly with little or no due process.
On May 17, Trump shared a post from ally and lawyer Mike Davis condemning the Supreme Court’s order as being an “illegal injunction” on the president, which Davis claims is “preventing him from commanding military operations to expel these foreign terrorists,” according to the post.
