Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111642745146668045\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">raged<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden\u2019s ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic [and] World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and &#8216;sick&#8217; as the THUGS we have inside our Country [and] so much more, [who] are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nothing warms the heart at Christmas time like being told to <em>&#8220;ROT IN HELL&#8221;<\/em> by an aspiring dictator\/messiah who abhors the faithful he has somehow persuaded to worship him. His message also reveals his hatred for American leaders who he regards as more <em>&#8220;evil&#8221;<\/em> than the savage tyrants he admires and hopes to emulate, such as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If that weren&#8217;t bad enough, one of Trump&#8217;s most devoted defenders came to his rescue after the hellish greeting he delivered. Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, and a Fox News contributor, offered a patently absurd commentary that he thought would slap a happy face onto Trump&#8217;s tirade. Turley wrote that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Trump&#8217;s message of &#8216;May They Rot in Hell&#8230;Merry Christmas&#8217; is to holiday greetings what Die Hard is to Christmas movies: a matter of considerable interpretation for those of us stuck in the Peace-on-Earth or even just Ho-Ho-Ho mindset.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump&#39;s message of &quot;May They Rot in Hell&#8230;Merry Christmas&quot; is to holiday greetings what Die Hard is to Christmas movies: a matter of considerable interpretation for those of us stuck in the Peace-on-Earth or even just Ho-Ho-Ho mindset. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D6a1LXdpgY\">https:\/\/t.co\/D6a1LXdpgY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonathanTurley\/status\/1739681921657983094?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>WTF is Turley talking about? There is absolutely nothing that is remotely similar in his ludicrous musing. On the one hand we have Trump&#8217;s purposeful and personal condemnation of people with whom he disagrees to the realm of Satan. On the other hand is a cinematic crime drama intended for entertainment purposes only. The film&#8217;s only villains are fictional terrorists who are trying to kill innocent people. Trump&#8217;s foes are his actual fellow Americans who have political opinions intended to help people by expanding healthcare, providing food, prohibiting prejudice, reducing gun violence, creating jobs, mitigating climate change, etc.<\/p>\n<p>How are those things related in Turley&#8217;s crackpot cranial cavity? His bizarre comment can only be seen as a desperate and lame and blatantly political attempt to salvage Trump&#8217;s already festering reputation. And this isn&#8217;t Turley&#8217;s first such embarrassment. He was also one of Trump&#8217;s Senate impeachment defenders. It&#8217;s astonishing that someone with Turley&#8217;s bias, incoherence, and ignorance is still employed by a reputable academic institution. Although it&#8217;s not surprising at all that such idiocy is welcomed on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> The day after Christmas Trump again condemned to Hades his perceived enemies <a href=\"http:\/\/saying that https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111648440704900982\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">saying<\/a> that, <em>&#8220;Biden\u2019s Flunky, Deranged Jack Smith, should go to HELL.&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s just more evidence of his fear of being convicted for his felonious acts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59434\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Craven Christmas Prayer for Presidential Immunity and an End to Yuletide Witch Hunts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59427\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Unleashes a Fear-Drenched, Lie-Riddled Rant Misstating \u2018Facts\u2019 From His Many Indictments<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59338\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WOW!
