Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Memorial Day with a series of tweets and statements that many are likening to the “Airing of Grievances” from the fictional Festivus holiday on the TV show Seinfeld. Trump took to social media to express his discontent and frustration, labeling various situations as “VERY UNFAIR” in characteristic Trump fashion.
In his Memorial Day messages, Trump touched on a range of topics, including ongoing legal battles, media coverage, and perceived injustices. He criticized what he views as biased treatment from the media and unfair legal scrutiny, using strong language to convey his dissatisfaction.
