In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of “Electric Car Lunacy” would “ROT IN HELL.”
Trump’s Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him.
The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against “THUGS,” which he said were more “evil” and “sick” than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.
“Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and ‘sick’ as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA.” Trump posted. “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL.”
“AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Trump added.
The attack on electric vehicles has been a relatively new grievance for Trump. In September, he called them a “hoax” and said President Joe Biden’s tax credits for electric cars and trucks made in the United States amounted to “a transition to hell.”
Trump on Monday also attacked the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and promised to “come up with a much better, and less expensive, alternative,” something he failed to do during his four years as president.
He also posted a video of his cameo in “Home Alone 2” and a meme claiming “SANTA VOTED TRUMP.” (Santa Claus is not a US citizen and his vote would have been illegal.)
Biden, who is running with little competition for the Democratic party presidential nomination in 2024, struck a different tone with his Christmas message. He posted a video of the White House’s holiday decorations overlaid with an audio track of him and First Lady Jill Biden reading the poem “The Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clark Moore.
