The president's solemn events on Monday honoring the men and women who gave their lives to defend American freedom were in stark contrast to how he spent the rest of his Memorial Day weekend.

Returning to the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner to honor the country's fallen Americans, President Donald Trump delivered a Memorial Day speech Monday centered on grit and resolve as the nation tries to find new normalcy amid a pandemic.

"Together, we will vanquish the virus, and America will rise from this crisis to new and even greater heights. As our brave warriors have shown us from the nation's earliest days, in America we are the captains of our own fate," Trump said."No obstacle, no challenge and no threat is a match for the sheer determination of the American people. This towering spirit permeates every inch of the hollow soil beneath our feet.

"Every time we sing our anthem, every time this rousing chorus swells our hearts with pride, we renew the eternal bonds of loyalty to our fallen heroes," Trump said. President Donald Trump speaks as he and First Lady Melania Trump participate in a Memorial Day Ceremony at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine on May 25 in Baltimore, Maryland.Saturday and Sunday featured rounds of golf for the president at his country club in Sterling, Virginia, while peppering the world of Twitter with personal attacks against his perceived political foes, false or inaccurate claims and a conspiracy theory.
