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.
Right. The problem with ‘killing with kindness’ is that it doesn’t work if the people who support your opposition aren’t interested in kindness.
I don’t mind him pushing for diplomatic civility, it’s part of his job. But yes, we are slowly sliding towards domestic military conflict, while Xi Jinping laughs all the way to the bank.
The honey bank.
You know, I think he likes the Winnie the Pooh references. He’s not a typical authoritarian, Chinese culture is very idiosyncratic, very different from the west. They don’t mind contradicting things being true simultaneously, often doing two things at once.
He likes being underestimated while he talks about wanting respect, though. It’s an asset. He can’t just let people disrespect him of course, but of all the things he could be compared to…
He’s a sophisticated, complex man imo. Not some simpleton like our authoritarians. He thinks, deeply.
Nah, you post anything on Chinese social media with Winnie the Pooh visible its gonna get taken down immediately IF YOURE LUCKY.
Of course. He can’t allow anyone to call him anything that might be dishonorable. That doesn’t mean he isn’t okay with it though. People can fight against things they like, if it suits their other purposes.
