Following his Thanksgiving greeting on social media, Donald Trump launched into a diatribe against judges and law enforcement personnel, alleging they are pursuing him for political purposes.

“Happy Thanksgiving to All — Even the Haters and Losers!”

In a holiday greeting that brought up memories of his controversial tweet from November 27, 2013, the former president said, “Happy Thanksgiving to all — even the haters and losers!” However, this year’s welcome went on for a long time criticizing President Joe Biden, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron and his clerk, and Attorney General Letitia James.

‘Psycho,’ Arthur Engoron, Who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York

“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a ‘Psycho,’ Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a ‘tiny’ Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tell him what to do,” the ex-president posted.

Have No Fear, We Will Win the Presidential Election of 2024

“& Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY,” the ex-president posted. “Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he further continued.

Trump’s Message Leaves the Internet Puzzled

Many social media users expressed confusion at the tweet, citing it as yet another instance of Trump’s ineligibility to hold office again.

You Want This Authoritarian Weirdo to Return to Power

Author and professor of global politics Brian Klaas said, “If this is your idea of a good Thanksgiving message and you want this authoritarian weirdo to return to power, you might want to log off, go for a walk, and think carefully about your worldview.”

This Man Has Serious Issues

“This man has serious problems,” a professor of biology tweeted. “He cannot drop the hate even on a day you’re supposed to reflect and be thankful for your life, family, and friends.”

The Deluge of Antisemitic Threats

Adam Klasfeld, senior legal journalist for The Messenger, stated, “On Thanksgiving, Trump attacks the judge’s clerk in his civil fraud trial by name—a day after the court released some of the deluge of antisemitic threats she’s gotten.” “In a sworn affidavit, a court officer said these threats spike when he attacks her.”

He Realized He Is Untouchable. And He’s Right.

One X user said, “He becomes more emboldened by the day.” “When he was ‘impeached’ and realized that was nothing more than a word, he realized he is untouchable. And he’s right.”
