President Biden on Thursday responded to former President Trump’s Christmas post with a religious message to love your enemies.

Trump’s unusual Christmas message, which he shared on Truth Social, called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.”

Biden shared an article from The Hill about Trump’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.

“There’s an expression they say in church sometimes: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,” the president said.

    North Americans on the website will try to convince me that Trump is the “bad guy” but somehow a president that supports a genocide (coined Genocide Joe) is the good guy in this equation.

    North Americans will then convince me that choosing from only two parties for decades is somehow democracy.

    Edit: This became like Reddit where saying “why the USA, a democracy, only have two parties in charge” is supporting Donald. I’m from Europe.

      somehow a president that supports a genocide (coined Genocide Joe) is the good guy in this equation.

      They both do. In fact, Trump much moreso.

      Biden is (rightly) getting tons of shit for it because he’s supposed to represent everyone to the left of American fascism, which doesn’t include supporting genocide and otherwise propping up Israeli fascism.

      Neither of them is the good guy. There’s awful guy and many times worse guy.

      North Americans will then convince me that choosing from only two parties for decades is somehow democracy.

      Most Americans agree with you (and me) that it’s undemocratic and should change. The people with the power overwhelmingly don’t, though, since they’re on average much richer, older and more authoritarian than the population in general.

      Also, they don’t want to jeopardize their legal bribes.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump’s unusual Christmas message, which he shared on Truth Social, called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.”

    Biden shared an article from The Hill about Trump’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.

    “There’s an expression they say in church sometimes: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,” the president said.

    Biden, who is Catholic and attends church regularly, is likely to face Trump in a presidential rematch next year.

    The president has stepped up his criticism of Trump and often bashes his political rival at fundraisers, bringing up comments Trump makes and painting him as a threat to democracy.

    Trump is holding onto his lead in the GOP presidential primary, polling with a 52.4-point lead in the aggregation of polls kept by Decision Desk HQ and The Hill.
