"Merry Christmas and Go to Hell"


In the true Christmas (one day late) spirit, let's give the devil his due. Most of this was well-put:


Certainly, the setting (double flags to convey the impression he's President) isn't appropriate for an individual who is not President, and even Elon Musk himself will not actually be President until 12:00 noon on January 20, 2025. However, Vice President-elect Trump began by articulately stating

Melania and I would like to wish everyone a happy, joyous, and wonderful Christmas season. In this holy time of year, Christians everywhere give thanks that over 2,000 years ago, God sent his only son into the world to be the savior of all mankind. The birth of Jesus Christ ist he true miracle we celebrate each Christmas. He is the ultimate source of our joy,our hope, and our sense of peace and good will as we gather with family and loved ones. It is such a great time of year.

On camera and on script, he can be very good. But then the real Donald Trump comes to the fore:






Merry Christmas and may you rot in Hell! Added for comedic effect: "Again, Merry Christmas!" This is par for the course for the Vice-President elect, one of whose Christmas messages last year concluded "MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

Which is the real Donald Trump? Of course, it's Donald Trump the tweeter. The other is a performance delivered from a veteran actor, the riveting, even captivating, leading man of the Apprentice.

Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men? We've begun to find out, and will find out more as the Administration of President Musk and Donald Trump takes shape.
