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.

This Christmas, I wish trump will get anal cancer, rotting his ass out from bottom to top. I wish he spends the rest of his life in prison, while his ass rots. I wish his legacy is clearly articulated in well funded classrooms to the end of time as an example of a giant PoS getting into office because defunding of education finally caught up with public policy, and also, I wish he rots in his own personal hell for eternity. Fuck you DJT, you’re a shit stain on history.

What a disgraceful sentiment at christmas! For all its flaws, anal cancer doesn’t deserve to suffer like that.

That’s his secret: he IS anal cancer. Trump is what happens when the cancer takes over the entire body. There’s no part of him that isn’t anal cancer already. His hair? Obviously anal cancer. That his face looks like a cancerous anus probably goes without saying. It’d be tragic if it weren’t so damaging to the rest of us.

  1. Why would you wish this for anal cancer?
  2. On the other hand, if he had anal cancer, he’d be mute, so I’m cool with it.

First they came for the African Americans, and I said nothing, for I was not African American.

Then, they came for the LGBTQ community, and I said nothing, for I was not LGBTQ.

Then they came for… The EV owners? I said nothing, because this was just getting bizzare.

I cannot stand either one of these assholes, I also cannot wait to see how this plays out, does Elon kiss the ring or risk losing what has to be an extremely significant chunk of his fans. This must be what Ken Watanabe felt like in Godzilla

It’s his way of garnering media engagement. The orange mobster throws whatever on the wall, including ketchup, to see what sticks. With the cult, everything sticks. Space laser lady, Jim Jordan and Mike Moses do it as well.

I think you’re misreading the dynamics. Elon will absolutely not stand up to trump. He’s a right-wing chud now, he needs Trump’s base who love that he’s sticking it to the woke libs because no one other than them like him anymore. He will ignore this.

Ignoring it would be the most reasonable and professional thing to do. So, if it was anyone else, Elron would start slamming them and their businesses, but for Trumpy he probably doesn’t think he should say anything bad about him, since then Trump would be out to get him for the rest of his life.

That’s ridiculous; Beavis and Butthead have way better senses of humor.

Give Beavis some sugar and caffeine and he becomes a much better leader and statesman than either of them.

What a dilemma, does Elon lick Trump’s boots or does he defend the industry he paid his way into?

I feel sorry for the man whose heart is so filled with hate that he can’t even take one day to step back from the political rhetoric, on the one day per year dedicated to peace and goodwill amongst fellow men.

It’s such a small ask. “Merry Christmas, America!” and then turn off your phone for a day and spend time with your family, dude.

And he’s always been this way. I still remember, during the height of the pandemic, when he was asked what he would say to Americans scared about the deadly pandemic.

It was an easy, softball question. “I’d tell them that America is strong and together we’ll get through this.” There, I just made something up on the spot that the “America First” crowd would like.

But Trump didn’t say that. Instead, he attacked the reporter for asking such a horrible question and called him names. People are scared about a deadly disease? That must be a personal attack against me!!!

It’s so ridiculous that it would be unbelievable in fiction. You’d close the book or turn off the TV saying that this character was way too over the top. But that’s Trump!

I almost feel bad how little personal emotional and/or spiritual time he takes for himself. He continues posting this crap after his brother died, after his first wife/mother of his three eldest died, while he was getting ready to attend his younger daughter’s wedding, and more recently, after his sister died. He’s so relatitory. Just be happy or somber in these landmark occasions. His sister Maryanne who just died even seemed to be pretty important to him. He wanted to transfer colleges and Maryanne had a friend who was on their admissions team, so she set up an interview for him, and even drove him to the interview. Not to mention her being a circuit judge in New Jersey helped his casino get its gambling and liquor licenses issued quickly. She really looked out for her little brother, and he’d rather post about how due process is against him than how much she meant to him on the day she died. She’d said in Mary L. Trump’s book that Donald’s comments on how the death of their older brother Fred inspired his sobriety was emotional manipulation. Now that more impactful events have come in his life and he’s only focusing on the ones that effect him directly, I realize she was right.

It’s so frustrating that this sort of drivel ends up being elevated as serious politics.

I mean really, all they’ve got at this point is fear and anger and reactivity to anything that might be a change, and he’s just charismatic enough to play them into wanting him to be their King.
