Donald Trump posted a Thanksgiving greeting that immediately devolved into a tirade against court and law enforcement officials he claims are targeting him for political reasons.

The former president offered a holiday message reminiscent of his infamous Nov. 27, 2013, tweet wishing a "Happy Thanksgiving to all -- even the haters and losers!" but this year's greeting ran on at length in an attack on New York attorney general Letitia James, New York Supreme Court justice Arthur Engoron and his clerk, and President Joe Biden.

"Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia 'Peekaboo' James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a 'Psycho,' Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a 'tiny' Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the 'Bench' & tell him what to do; & Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY," the ex-president posted. "Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

The message puzzled many social media users, who pointed to the post as yet another example of why Trump is unfit to serve again as president.

People who vote or support Trump and vile comments are just as horrible and vile as he is.

1. I'm so glad that we have a single-tiered justice system

And that Trump is being treated exactly like any other criminal defendant who openly threatens witnesses, the prosecution, and members of the court.


Cue the cheerleaders in 3... 2...

[Magoo48]

27. Impressive the depth of tongue in cheek exhibited in this statement.

All tens from the judges.

[OldBaldy1701E]

81. Bravo!

[multigraincracker]

2. Just when we think he

has hit rock bottom, he keeps digging.

[PatSeg]

3. Seriously

With Trump, there apparently is no bottom. Those are the words of a truly unhinged lunatic.

[not fooled]

13. How can anyone read that and think the man is fit to be president???

given that his deranged posts scream "lunatic", what gets me is that his followers read this garbage and think the country would be better off if he gets back into the presidency. Geez, they really are in a cult.

[mercuryblues]

18. His followers read this and think

they have their marching orders. Call to action.

"Don't Retreat! Reload"
-Alaskan Meth Barbie. AKA Sarah Palin

[AnotherMother4Peace]

47. Not unlike the cult members of Jonestown, Manson Family, Branch Davidians, Rajneesh, Heaven's Gate, etc.

Here's what Rajneesh cult members did up in Oregon (from Wikipedia):

"In 1984, 751 people suffered food poisoning in The Dalles, Oregon, United States, due to the deliberate contamination of salad bars at ten local restaurants with Salmonella. A group of prominent followers of Rajneesh (later known as Osho) led by Ma Anand Sheela had hoped to incapacitate the voting population of the city so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections.[2] The incident was the first and is still the single largest bioterrorist attack in U.S. history.[3][4]"

So trump knows full well that he "could shoot someone on 5th Ave" and his cult followers would be just fine with it.

[CTyankee]

29. I can't wait to see Morning Joe when they start taking this scream apart. That crew will be crying in a corner somewhere

This has got to be too much for even the strongest Trumper. Really out there.

[PatSeg]

35. I know

I've sincerely tried to see and hear what they're seeing and hearing, but I just don't get it. When I first started noticing Trump (before he went into politics), I thought what a total clown. It was hard to believe such a person was actually real and not some caricature from a movie. Even harder to believe was that reputable journalists took the time to interview him.

Meanwhile, the more outrageous his behavior and words, the more his base seems to love him. I feel like I'm living in some parallel universe.

[CTyankee]

85. We didn't know, or failed to know, what horrors he would unleash on the country and the world. How could we? He came out

of the blue. Some decent republicans rejected him immediately; others took a long, long time (too long) and then repudiated him (probably due more to his increasingly aberrant and repulsive attacks and now resulting in an out and out madman. Few knew his depths of malice, even insanity, and now are horrified. One of them was Joe Scarborough and Mika B. who had him on call in interviews to their show. The final blow was Kellyanne Conway coming on Morning Joe with her "alternative facts." That was it! Mika barred her from ever being on the show again. I remember watching this unfold, as a regular viewer of that show...

[PatSeg]

86. I couldn't have imagined that such a peculiar exhibitionist

could have caused so much damage in such a short period of time. In my mind, it would have been a far smarter and more strategic man. Perhaps the problem was we were focusing too much on the candidate and not on an electorate who apparently were ready for a bombastic, authoritarian leader. I was amazed at how many Trump voters had voted for Obama. Mindboggling.

"Few knew his depths of malice, even insanity" - I seriously did not know how truly evil he was. I expected incompetence and showboating, but not the cruelty and meanness we witnessed. His compulsive need for revenge is absolutely terrifying.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to absorb all of this. So much of it is beyond comprehension.

[CTyankee]

87. All I have is hope that the experience we had of his presidency and now his increasing insanity will turn

off so many of his former supporters that he can never be president again. The man is a downright threat not only to our own country but to the world. It scares the hell out of me. I'm scared that his voters are so far gone mentally that they will take the rest of us with them when a nuclear holocaust results.

I am trying hard not to be an alarmist but I'm old and more scared than I used to be when I dealt with stuff better. I hope that younger leaders have plans in place to deal with Trump's increasingly unstable mind...I trust that they are alarmed, too, and have plans in place to prevent his using power to do bad things.

[PatSeg]

89. You are not alone

I might have been able to handle all of this better when I was younger, but my knowledge of history and authoritarian government are the stuff of nightmares for me. I have trouble just watching movies or reading books about Nazis or any kind of dictatorship. I get filled with such anxiety and dread. I can envision being in such a scenario and now it feels much too possible.

We have every right to be alarmist. What I find the most disturbing is how little resistance there is to this monster. I had no idea that so many seemingly patriotic people would compromise their beliefs and values, especially for someone like Trump. So many Republican politicians are willing to throw everything they care about out the window, because Trump might tweet something negative about them and they could lose an election. Like that would be the end of the world. No, Trump with unlimited power would be the end of the world.

Sometimes it feels like we are so powerless.

[CTyankee]

90. And I've never been so scared in my life. I was extremely scared with that Jan. insurrection, feeling that our whole

government was going to collapse with crazy people running around the halls of Congress searching for Nancy Pelosi and ready to kill her! She fled to safety, thank god, but can you imagine the terror she felt, that if these monsters found her they would have KILLED her. And that people like my neighbor who is kind and usually sane was rooting for the insurrectionists that day. Good people who turned into a frenzied mob, ready to kill anybody interfering with their monstrous plan.

I had to have a tooth extracted that day and lay in the dentist's chair weeping while he did what he had to do. I remember his dental assistant patting my hand to reassure me and that helped calm me down. He gave me painkillers and I went home and took them and eventually was OK. Panic is a horrible thing. while you are dealing with it.

[PatSeg]

91. I read a novel many years ago

It took place in Germany in the 1930s and it described the anxiety and fear experienced by sane, rational people as they watched the madness grow around them. When Trump moved into the White House, I watched these crazed MAGA crowds and I felt that I could relate to the fears of those people in Germany.

More recently I read Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin and it felt like history was repeating itself. I recognized the "Brown Shirt" thugs in many of the Trump supporters. If his followers had a better understanding of history, they would know what happens to people like them.

[CTyankee]

92. If you've ever scene the play or film of "The Diary of Anne Frank" it ends with her familly's hideout in the attic of

their house being discovered and you hear the soldiers on their way up the stairs and the family members look at each other and it ends there. It was stunning. The diary stops there and the stage play ends with the lights just suddenly going off. It was terrifying.
The night I saw it, it left the audience stunned in disbelief because it happened so suddenly. We weren't prepared for the emotional blow that came.

[PatSeg]

93. Oh yes, I read the book

when I was in 8th grade and that probably started my fear and dread of fascist regimes. After that I saw the movie. I could feel their terror knowing that it over and there was nothing they could do. It is truly insane what human beings do to one another.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

95. He didn't come out of the blue

Maybe if you weren't paying attention, but to everyone else, he had made his hateful views well-known, for decades.

Did you miss how he and his father were fined for discriminating against black people in having access to their rental properties back in the 70s?

Were you not paying attention when he took out that full page ad calling for execution of the Central Park Five--and has made a career of refusing to back down from that stance, even after they were fully exonerated? That he's actually justified the stance by saying that even if they squirmed free of that crime, then they deserved execution for committing other crimes--for which there is zero evidence?

Were you not paying attention to the multiple complaints about how brown people were treated at his casinos, and even how he had black *employees* removed from the floor when he had to walk through, because he wanted to see only an all-white casino?

Or when he was accused of discriminating against multiple brown pageant contestants?

Did you miss all of those years of birther nonsense?

He's been evil a long time--right in the open.

[Bengus81]

99. Trump cultists don't read,they get their "news" spoon fed by RW shithole websites and pod casts

If they did read they'd know that Trump will take THEIR ACA away from them. Or maybe they think it will only target Dems.

[Stuart G]

20. "NO BOTTOM AT ALL"..(whatever he needs to get publicity, that is the key.")

[PatSeg]

36. Yes, that's a good point

Like a spoiled toddler, if he doesn't feel like he is getting enough attention, he will just act out more until the mainstream media notices. Unfortunately as with any addict, there will never be enough attention. This is a seriously disturbed man.

[ananda]

23. We've known this for years, and it's mostly true of the whole party now.

Why he's still walking free speaks to how well stochastic
terrorism works in this country.

[PatSeg]

37. I know

He continues to defy all basic norms, though I think his dumb luck is about to run out. Meanwhile, I think he enjoys tempting fate and daring anyone to stop him.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

94. He's neither unhinged nor a lunatic

He is 100% in touch with reality. What you're seeing is an injured malignant narcissist exhibiting the rage phase of his behavior. It's an anything goes zone for the breed, as long as they think it gets them what they want.

He's saying these terrible things not because he's crazy, but because he's evil.

Big difference.

[PatSeg]

96. Yes, he most certainly is a "malignant narcissist"

One who is becoming unhinged because all his evil deeds are catching up with him. One can be evil and crazy. They are not mutually exclusive.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Bottom is actually the top when you're a psychopath. nt

[PatSeg]

38. Yes for some it appear the bottom

is their goal.

[littlemissmartypants]

39. I think that's what's most frustrating to me about all of the attention he gets for his negative behavior.

It's feeding the beast, so to speak.

If everyone would just discredit him by dismissively commenting "Oh, there goes that bullsh¡t psychopath again." maybe he would just crawl back into the cesspool that he came from.

I think of him like flicking off a bug.

[PatSeg]

51. Yes exactly, instead of looking at anything

he does as an opportunity to increase ratings. The media bears a lot of responsibility for all we've been through.

[littlemissmartypants]

53. Exactly! Maybe one day they'll admit to what has essentially been the equivalent of giving an axe to an axe murderer.

But I'm not going to hold my breath.

[PatSeg]

63. Me either

They seemed to have expressed sincere remorse for their part in promoting the monster with their constant coverage, but now it feels like they've learned nothing at all. Ironically, the mainstream media will be one of the first casualties of a 2nd Trump term. They will be responsible for their own demise.

[littlemissmartypants]

64. Excellent point! ❤️

[Deminpenn]

66. That is so true

I watch MSNBC less than before now because so much of it is showing the lastest thing Trump said, then being outraged about it. Every day is ground hog day.

[PatSeg]

70. I used to watch MSNBC a lot

but now I usually watch one hour or less a day during the week and never on weekends. It is almost all redundant commentary and very little actual news. I do want to know what is going on with Trump and his many indictments, but some other news would be nice as well.

[DENVERPOPS]

59. The man is becoming more delusional every day

Any psychiatrist should write a 72 hour hold, have a commitment hearing and have him put In a Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
He is a danger to himself, and anyone else around him.......

[CTyankee]

88. But could this happen? I think your idea is the only way out of this frightening development.

What I hope is that our Dem leaders and some half way sane repubs have put together a way to restrain him from blowing us all up. They just aren't telling us, to keep us from panicking.

[keithbvadu2]

4. If not Trump directly executing his 'enemies', he will indirectly encourage his followers to do it.

[Scottie Mom]

5. Words escape me.

However, if there ever was a reason to gag that piece of shit...he certainly demonstrated it.

[niyad]

83. Oh, there are plenty of words. Most of them would net us a

visit from the suits.

[kimbutgar]

6. So many of us on his enemies list also.

It will be a nightmare horror movie of epic proportions if he is re elected.

But I bet he couldn’t define the differences between communists, socialists, or Marxist's. He’s really gone off the deep end on this post. Someone needs to put him in a straight jacket and commit him to San insane asylum. He is losing it big time!

[Wednesdays]

12. TFG wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between

"radical left," Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, and RINOS.
To him, they're all the same.

[gab13by13]

"Youth in Asia love me. They know I'm the best."

19. I'm with you, Niyad.

He pollutes the ground he walks on, everything he touches, and the air he breathes. A foul excuse for a human being.

[Abigail_Adams]

56. He's definitely worse now than when he was in office

but I shudder to think what our allies abroad thought of him when he was in the White House, and how they dread the possibility of him getting there again.

Except Putin, Orban, and Kim, of course.

[wendyb-NC]

82. I have to say

Wouldn't that be a blessing?

[ashredux]

10. Pretty low on enemies list. Really, the man is way off the rails. He won't make it through the election cycle.

[dchill]

11. So, Donald, is something bothering you?

You seem a little off-kilter.

[The Grand Illuminist]

14. Those people were like that way before Trump.

They were emboldened more from him.

[rurallib]

15. here's the short version: I am fucked! They have won

[littlemissmartypants]

17. I'm so tired of him and everyone who signal boosts his nonsense.

And honestly, I don't believe he even writes his own tweets anymore. I'm thinking his former speech writer, Stephen Miller is responsible.

At this point I'd believe it if someone told me they were written by AI and controlled by a bot.

[Novara]

21. I just want him to fucking die. Happy Thanksgiving.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

22. All projection from this traitourous walking

Trash heap.

[BigOleDummy]

24. I hate

that orange son of a bitch more than ever. The only thing/person I DO unequivocally hate. I don't even hate that hes made me hate either I just hate him and his shameful rhetoric. If theres a god he will die in pain, alone and in a jail cell.

[republianmushroom]

25. When are the courts going to stop the coddling ?

34 months and counting

[JoseBalow]

26. Can you imagine Joe ranting like that?

drumpf is just a tantrum-filled toddler. What an embarrassment.

[Freethinker65]

28. Can this threatening man legally own a gun?

[Beacool]

30. Trump is an abomination.

My mother lived 10 minutes away from Mar-a-Lago. I remember as a kid how Palm Beach society cringed when he bought the property. The man is an all around amoral lowlife with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It goes way beyond politics. I still can't fully grasp how this POS came to be the nominee, and then president, of a major political party. He's a malignant narcissist, a bully, a pathological liar, a petty and vindictive small man. To top it all, he's an intellectual mediocrity.

[SWBTATTReg]

31. Jesus, tRUMP, catch your breath! Or better yet, don't catch your breath, the constant ranting and

raving will come back to bite you, as it should. No wonder you are so full of hate, being that you dish out the hate for no reason at all, constantly. What's the matter? Are you getting desperate?

You're also getting pathetic too (or more pathetic).

[no_hypocrisy]

33. FFS, will it take for this Judge's law clerk to be injured, maimed, or killed

by a Trump supporter to finally issue an all-encompassing gag order?

And if so, wouldn't that be evidence that he directed the Insurrection by indirect means (due to consistency of motivation and results)?

[milestogo]

40. He sounds like the crazy man in my apartment complex.

He walks around picking garbage out of the dumpsters and saying shit like this. I say nothing. I figure you shouldn't argue with the mentally ill.

[PittBlue]

41. Why isn't that bastard behind bars?

[Mr.Bill]

42. Hey, Donny!

It's not the job of the AG to keep businesses from leaving the state. It's her job to throw out the ones that are criminals, and she's working very hard at it.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

43. I wish it would spark charges

and imprisonment.

Anyone "horrified" by this asshole must be living in a cave.

[LiberalFighter]

44. He wants to make America great again? There is only one way for him to do it.

Leave. Go to another country. Go to the Anzhu Islands (not a country) and take his goonies with him. Go to South Africa and take Musk with him.

[birdographer]

45. He sounds a tad pissed off

and slowly the penny is dropping that he is cornered. He's lost control of the narrative. Back's against the wall. So he is spewing as viciously as a Tasmanian devil in a small cage. Really, can a stroke be so far behind?

[LiberalFighter]

46. He needs to be given a Tesla and drive it nonstop.

[Skittles]

48. THIS is the repuke frontrunner to be "president"

it fucking defies belief

[Mr.Bill]

49. On a positive note,

his tweets are sounding more and more like suicide notes.

We can only hope.

[noclue023]

50. Judge's could stop this shit-

really fast , but refuses to because they don't want to look politically motivated ! that's crap ol'a . He need's to be taken off 5th Avenue, jail 'd as National Security Risk , no rallies,phone, anything ! put him in the hole ! He is the x- criminal - in -chief ?

[bluestarone]

52. We really need a judge to do something like

PUSH all those words TFG is spouting off, right back in this ASSHOLES mouth! Then a padded room with no internet for one year.

[Aussie105]

54. Boil on the bum of Democracy.

A description applied to Trump a few years ago.

It still applies today.

Showing classic bully boy behaviour there, at the moment.
Lashing out at his enemies, hoping his gang of deplorables will come riding to the rescue.

Why he isn't yet in solitary confinement is beyond me.

[oldsoftie]

55. At some point someone is going to try to remove him from the ballot........

[SouthernDem4ever]

57. My reply do Dump

STFU you orange pig-faced jerk.

[moniss]

58. Always remember

that when he attacks in this trial he is also sending a message to others involved as witnesses, prosecutors, judges, clerks etc. in his other trials.

[truthisfreedom]

60. This is exactly how a child's tantrum sounds.

He’s whining windbag baby. Someone change his nappy before is spills everywhere.

[Hekate]

61. The troublesome beast needs to be behind bars to protect society...

Who will rid us of this troublesome beast?

[Permanut]

62. The message puzzled many social media users.

Anyone with an IQ higher than a radish would not be puzzled.

[Captain Zero]

65. When one of his cult kills a target of his rants

The media will immediately switch the topic to the mental health of the cultist with no regard for the lack of mental health in trump. Another isolated incident. Next story:
Biden's age is concerning.

[GreenEyedLefty]

67. If you had no idea who authored this, it would sound like random psychotic rantings

Anyone who complains about Joe Biden's mental abilities needs to shut the fuck up forever.

[democrank]

68. Is it or is it not true that no man is above the law?

Are authorities waiting for Trump to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue or Main Street or Maple Lane or Sunset Boulevard?

[Joinfortmill]

69. This is who he is. A country of over 330 million and we all sit and watch....

this abomination wreak havoc day after day. I hope 'we' will find the intestinal fortitude to incarcerate him.

[myohmy2]

71. Is everyone...

...in this country scared of trump?...is there no one capable of giving trump a strong dose of his own medicine?...a strong dose of justice?

...can't he be arrested for hate speech? I'm no lawyer but seems to me he's making a mockery of our legal system...he' acts like he's untouchable...and the best I can see so far, he is...

...if trump ever makes it back to the White House he will be a dictator...I see no one or nothing in our system that's willing to stop him...

...it's like gun violence, it's out of control in our country yet no one is willing or capable of stopping it ...

...a sad day for our country...

[alterfurz]

72. rapidly accelerating now from early to mid-stage dementia

[bucolic_frolic]

73. Yes this is now off the charts, we're past narcissism, manic-depressive, anti-social

I see the word psychopath has surfaced in the thread attached to thie OP. No argument from me, though that stray a bit from my understanding so have at it DUers!

How can his followers read that kind of crazy shit and still support the man?

97. His desperation to be president again is only going to get worse as the election gets closer.

He knows that without being re-elected, he'll likely go to jail. He'll do anything and everything -- including start another January 6th -- to avoid those orange jumpsuits.

[Stuart G]

98. Do you think that Trump will ever end up in prison/jail/ whatever?
