United States: Upon the digital platform of Truth Social, the former President, Donald Trump, conveyed a terse Easter message spanning a mere seven words of celebration intertwined with a lengthy diatribe encompassing 161 words of discontent directed towards the legal apparatus and his adversaries.
Commencing in bold capitals with the salutation “HAPPY EASTER TO ALL” and concluding in similar fashion with “HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!”, the communication predominantly constituted denigrations towards those spearheading the legal pursuits against him. Amongst the targeted figures were Special Counsel Jack Smith, Fulton County (Ga.) District Attorney Fani Willis, whom he derogatively refers to as “MRS. FANI “FAUNI” WADE,” and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. A secondary jab was aimed at President Joe Biden and the Justice Department.
The verbal arsenal employed within the message featured descriptors such as “EVIL,” “SICK” (in quoted form), “DERANGED” (also in quotes), “CORRUPT,” and “CROOKED,” the latter being reiterated twice. Additionally, the post mentioned “ILLEGAL” and “ILLEGALLY.”
Despite facing a litany of 91 charges across various legal proceedings, Trump remains unconvicted.
This Easter greeting mirrors the tone of his previous holiday messages, exemplified by his Christmas Eve and Christmas missives from the prior year, one of which concluded with the assertion “IT’S CALLED ELECTION INTERFERENCE. MERRY CHRISTMAS!”. Another statement ominously wished, “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
Trump’s voluminous activity on TruthSocial also encompassed disparaging remarks towards Representative Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), slated for retirement in April, as well as Judge Arthur F. Engoron and Judge Juan Merchan — alongside a mention of Merchan’s daughter. Additionally, the feed included polling anecdotes and an image of Trump being awarded a golf trophy by Jack Nicklaus, the acclaimed victor of 18 major championships, touted as one of the most illustrious golfers in history. Trump recently boasted of securing victories at his West Palm Beach, Florida club.
In stark contrast, President Biden’s Easter message relayed warm regards to Christians globally, underscoring the essence of hope and the symbolism inherent in Christ’s Resurrection.
The presidential missive concluded with the sentiment: “From our kin to yours, joyous Easter, and may divine blessings be bestowed upon you.”
