Christmas messages of kindness and hope from King Charles III and President Joe Biden

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before Christmas there was a five-minute video message from King Charles III, which you can watch on YouTube at BBC News. The full text can be read here at The Guardian. There also is an eight-minute address at the White House by Joe Biden, and that text is here. Both carefully-written messages also mention losses.

 

But there also was this brief, unhinged rant by Donald J. Trump at Truth Social:

 

“Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disabled Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump, and, of course, The Department of Injustice, which appointed a Special ‘Prosecutor’ who, together with his wife and family, HATES ‘Trump’ more than any other person on earth. LOVE TO ALL!”

 

Trump’s message has a tone of malice toward all and charity towards none, in contrast with Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural speech where he spoke:

 

“With malice toward none with charity for all…”

 

The Christmas Eve image came from the Library of Congress.
