President Biden on Thursday responded to former President Trumpā€™s Christmas post with a religious message to love your enemies.

Trumpā€™s unusual Christmas message, which he shared on Truth Social, called for various people he sees as ā€œlooking to destroyā€ the nation to ā€œrot in Hell.ā€

Biden shared an article from The Hill about Trumpā€™s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.

ā€œThereā€™s an expression they say in church sometimes: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,ā€ the president said.

    Dude, this is lost on everyone.

    People donā€™t show anyone any respect at all any more. Common courtesy is just gone. ā€˜Doing the right thingā€™ is lost because itā€™s assumed youā€™re not getting something in return or your efforts are for naught. Everyone is self-absorbed and self-righteous. People preach about ā€œempathyā€ but only practice it for those they feel sorry for.

    Iā€™m not a religious person but treating people like I want to be treated is something I try to do every day. Treating people with kindness, putting out positive energy into the world, makes you a better person. I canā€™t comprehend the hate that so many people walk around with.

      Fascists werenā€™t beat with brotherly love the first time, and it wonā€™t be how theyā€™re beaten this time either.

        That isnā€™t the kindness for the facists, itā€™s for those the facists hurt. The kindness offered to facists is correction. Not all correction is gentle.
