And this year is no exception. Trump came prepared with preplanned <em>&#8220;jokes&#8221;<\/em> and insults to hurl at his political foes as a means of distracting from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68299\" target=\"_blank\">his profound failures and severely declining approval ratings<\/a><\/strong>. Which shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone considering how dreadfully he is doing his job this holiday season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68318\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Promises Higher Prices \u2018On Everything\u2019 Just in Time for the Holidays \u2013 No, Really!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the course of this perfunctory presentation, Trump managed to fill it with self-serving rhetoric that not only devalued the theme of the holiday, but exposed how utterly devoid he is of the honor and decency that the American people hope for in their leaders. What follows are a few of the grossly inappropriate remarks he made at this turkey pardoning ceremony&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He joked that President Biden pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys with an autopen, and he then declared them invalid.<\/li>\n<li>He brought Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi into his pettiness, saying that he considered naming the turkeys &#8220;Chuck&#8221; and &#8220;Nancy,&#8221; but changed his mind because he would never really pardon them. Of course \the did pardon true turkeys like Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon, and hundreds of January 6th rioters, including cop beaters.<\/li>\n<li>He called Illinois Governor JB Pritzker &#8220;a big fat slob.&#8221; Which is further proof of Trump&#8217;s stunted emotional growth, and also that he doesn&#8217;t own a mirror.<\/li>\n<li>He lied that there have been no murders in Washington, D.C. in six months. He&#8217;s only off by about fifty.<\/li>\n<li>He repeated his already debunked lie that Thanksgiving dinner &#8211; and everything else &#8211; is less expensive this year than last.<\/li>\n<li>He Related gruesome stories of crimes before an audience of families with children present.<\/li>\n<li>He bragged that &#8220;more people are praying.&#8221; But that&#8217;s just because more people pray during a crisis. And there currently are more people who are disgusted, and suffering, and afraid of Trump&#8217;s authoritarian aspirations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trump really has a way of bringing the joy of the season to everyone, doesn&#8217;t he? It&#8217;s typical of his holiday messages that famously disparage anyone with whom he disagrees. For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>2024: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64059\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Unleashes a Thanksgiving Rant that Insults Half the Country and Lies About the Election<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>2023: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59071\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Heartwarming Thanksgiving Message Drips with Dread and Hate for His Legions of Enemies<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist &#038; Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia \u2018Peekaboo\u2019 James, who has let Murder &#038; Violent Crime FLOURISH&#8230;&#038; Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, &#038; allowed our Country to go to HELL; &#038; all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, &#038; RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So here&#8217;s wishing everyone a truly happy Thanksgiving.
