In his Christmas message, Biden urged Americans to unite, while Trump once again mentioned Canada and Greenland.
This was highlighted by Reuters, as reported by Ukrinform.
“Biden offered a video tour of the Christmas-decorated rooms and corridors of the White House, which was published on YouTube. He urged Americans to ‘put aside all the noise and everything that divides us,’” the agency notes.
In the video from the White House, the sitting president emphasized: “We are here, on this Earth, to care for one another, to love one another. Too often we see each other as enemies rather than as neighbors and fellow American citizens.”
He encouraged citizens to take a moment for “reflection in silence” to remember the importance of treating each other with dignity and respect, “to live in the light” and to remember that Americans have more that unites them than divides them.
“We are truly happy to live in this country,” noted Biden.
For his part, Trump, in a Christmas greeting published on his own social network Truth Social, once again expressed expansionist claims over the Panama Canal, Canada, and Greenland.
“Merry Christmas to everyone, including the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly but unlawfully running the Panama Canal, where we lost 38 thousand people during its construction 110 years ago,” he started his greeting.
The elected president again referred to Justin Trudeau as the “Governor of Canada.” According to him, taxes for the citizens of that country are too high, “but if Canada became our 51st state, their taxes would be cut by more than 60%.”
Trump also addressed the people of Greenland, “which is needed by the United States for national security purposes, and the people who want the U.S. to be there – and we will be!”
“Merry Christmas to the radical left lunatics who are constantly trying to disrupt our judicial system and our elections and always pursue great citizens and patriots of the United States, including their political opponent, ME,” wrote the elected head of the White House.
He also criticized Biden for commuting the death sentences of 37 convicts to life imprisonment.
“I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to these happy ‘souls,’ instead I will say: Go to hell! We had the greatest elections in the history of our country, and now a bright light shines over the U.S., and in 26 days we will make America great again. Merry Christmas!” added Trump.
As reported, in November the Democrats lost all the “swing” states in the U.S. presidential elections and lost control of the Senate. In this regard, sociologists point to increasing polarization in the country.
