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.

      The narrative is that he’s the best of the 2, not that he’s a good guy. There’s a choice between a dictator and business as usual (US presidents have consistently supported Israel, and Trump is no exception).

      But you knew that already, didn’t you? 😒

        Not just is Trump not an exception, he was explicitly trying to move from the status quo towards a more Israel friendly stance.

          Which this liar would praise if it were trump doing it. Gotta figure out a way to shit on Democrats no matter what they do, then if a Republican does an unsightly thing you praise/ignore/deny it, depending. Simple and effective somehow. People are just that stupid.

      The stupidest part of this argument is you’re implying Trump wouldn’t support Israel the same if not stronger.

      It’s a braindead implication, but here you are anyway. Simping for trump.

      You realize Trump is much worse when it comes to supporting genocide, right? So yeah, the guy who supports genocide less is the good guy in this equation. Duh.

      Ight then! So where are you from, tex? Tell us about the elevated levels of freedom and democracy you enjoy! Tell us about the dictators leaders you enjoy most! You definitely seem to break the mold of the stuffy, low/no-information conservative. What’s your secret?

        You do realize North America isn’t just the northern states right? Texas is north America. Canada is north America. This guy is on a whole different continent, probably nowhere near Texas.

      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.

      Why would anyone try and convince you of anything? French citizens don’t get a vote in US elections. Your opinions on them don’t matter much.

      News flash, most North American don’t give a shit about your opinion to want to change it, nor do they even have any wish to know where you are from.

      Go fuck off to whatever shit tier part of the planet you are from.
