Trump has stoked an ongoing war with judges across the country since the start of his second administration, from threatening their impeachment to seeking to evade their rulings against his orders. The president's allies and opponents alike have called the feud between branches a constitutional crisis.

President Trump sent a Memorial Day message to Americans on Monday, including what he referred to as the “scum” he says spent the last four years “trying to destroy our country.” Trump, in a post on Truth Social, hammered the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border and slammed judges who have ruled against his administration in the first four months of his second White House term.

"HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND 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 — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY," he declared in the first portion of the post.
