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.

    You know, I think he likes the Winnie the Pooh references. Heā€™s not a typical authoritarian, Chinese culture is very idiosyncratic, very different from the west. They donā€™t mind contradicting things being true simultaneously, often doing two things at once.

    He likes being underestimated while he talks about wanting respect, though. Itā€™s an asset. He canā€™t just let people disrespect him of course, but of all the things he could be compared toā€¦

    Heā€™s a sophisticated, complex man imo. Not some simpleton like our authoritarians. He thinks, deeply.

        Of course. He canā€™t allow anyone to call him anything that might be dishonorable. That doesnā€™t mean he isnā€™t okay with it though. People can fight against things they like, if it suits their other purposes.
