President Biden on Thursday responded to former President Trump’s Christmas post with a religious message to love your enemies.

Trump’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 Trump’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.

ā€œThere’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.

    The problem is that they even think Jesus is a liberal cuck now.

    It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — ā€œturn the other cheekā€ — [and] to have someone come up after to say, ā€œWhere did you get those liberal talking points?ā€ And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ā€œI’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,ā€ the response would not be, ā€œI apologize.ā€ The response would be, ā€œYes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.ā€ And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.
