Published May 28, 2018 3:18pm ET



Twitter users on Monday accused President Trump of focusing on himself and not others when he heralded the economy and unemployment figures, and for saying those who lost their lives defending the nation would be “very happy and proud.”

“Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today,” Trump tweeted. “Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!”
