Donald Trump's Christmas greetings staat wid "Merry Christmas to everybody." But dat was di end a di contemplative message. Di future American president use di post pan him “Truth Social” platform pan Christmas Day fi reinforce him political messages a di past few weeks. Di fos victim was Panama, weh Trump did threaten last weekend fi tek back di Panama Canal because a excessive user fees an alleged Chinese influence.
Merry Christmas “also to di wonderful soldiers a China weh lovingly but illegally operate di Panama Canal,” di Republican write. Di United States pour billions inna di project inna repair costs but dem neva have “absolutely nutten” fi seh. Inna anodda post, Trump announce seh him a go mek local politician Kevin Marino Cabrera fram Florida ambassador to Panama. Di country a rip off di United States inna a way weh yuh couldn't neva imagine. However, Cabrera a one “fighter.”
Canada as a US state
Di Christmas message continue wid criticism a Canada. Trump claim seh taxes inna di neighboring country dem did far too high an den him suggest seh Canada did consider di “51st. “Federal state” a di United States beta off. Inna dis context, him once again refer to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor”.
Trump also renew him desire fi buy Greenland fi “national security” reasons. Greenlanders “want di United States in place, an wi ago deh deh,” him write inna him post. Afta Trump's first comment last weekend, Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede emphasize seh di island unda Danish control was "not fi sale."
Inna wan secan paat a di Christmas message, Trump, weh a go get inaugurate pan January 20, ton to domestic policy issues. “Merry Christmas to di far-left lunatics dem weh continually try fi influence wi court system an wi elections,” him write pan Truth Social. Dem a look afta di Americans, “especially dem political opponent, ME.”
Attack pan President Biden
Trump den refer to di sentence commutations weh President Joe Biden did announce recently. Thirty-seven out a forty federal death penalty prisoners can lef death row; di sentence get commute to life imprisonment. Biden did a react to Trump's announcement seh him woulda reinstate di use a di death penalty, weh did suspended during him predecessor's term a office.
Referring to him political opponents, Trump write seh dem people deh only "chance fi survival" was a pardon fram "a man weh absolutely no idea weh him a do." Biden pardon criminals “who murder, rape an plunder like nobadi before dem.” Him nuh waan wish dem a Merry Christmas, "instead mi seh: Go to hell."
President Biden, in turn, spread a message a unity at him last Christmas inna di White House. One video seh dat “too often we see each other as enemies, not as neighbors, not as fellow Americans.” But inna di Christmas holidays wi shuda concentrate pan di similarities. Im did a hope seh Americans woulda continue fi strive fi “kindness, compassion, dignity an decency.”
