Trump puts the "ME" in Memorial day [View all]

----
Remember that phrase "There's a time and place for everything"? Trump seems not to have that gene in him -- or to listen to people who do. Anyone -- and I mean ANYONE -- who Trump ran that tweet by before sending it would tell him that it sounds incredibly self-serving, far too focused on himself and what he's done as opposed to what today means for the country.
But as the past 16 months has shown, Trump rarely consults with people before he tweets. He feels as though he innately understands Twitter -- that it is the medium best suited for him to communicate to the millions and millions of people who not only voted for him but also "get" him at some core level.
Maybe that group of core Trump supporters think today's tweet is a good idea, though it's difficult to see how.
The tweet seems reflective of a broader belief that has animated every moment of Trump's campaign and presidency: This is about him. Period.
