Sunday was Father’s Day. As might be expected for a holiday devoted to putting things on the grill and trying to figure out where to display a child’s paper-mache artwork, President Joe Biden offered up a decidedly mild-but-warm greeting.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, pops, and father figures who have shown us guidance, encouragement, and unconditional love,” Biden wrote.
And, with equal predictability, Donald Trump … didn’t do that. Instead, Trump clamped down on the caps lock and leaned into making this holiday, like every holiday, a day to pry America apart.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE RADICAL LEFT DEGENERATES THAT ARE RAPIDLY BRINGING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO THIRD WORLD NATION STATUS WITH THEIR MANY ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO INFLUENCE OUR SACRED COURT SYSTEM INTO BREAKING TO THEIR VERY SICK AND DANGEROUS WILL. WE NEED STRENGTH AND LOYALTY TO OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS WONDERFUL CONSTITUTION. EVERYTHING WILL BE ON FULL DISPLAY COME NOVEMBER 5TH, 2024 – THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
Essentially: America sucks. You suck. Happy Father’s Day! And now that this holiday is sufficiently ruined, let’s look at just a few of the ways that Trump has turned every holiday into an excuse to be awful.
Trump’s holiday greetings tend to follow a pattern. Happy whatever to all, including these terrible people.
The pattern was still being polished in 2013, when Trump remembered 9/11 by saying “I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11.” Since then, Trump has made every holiday about his generosity in reaching out to the people he hates.

Merry Christmas to…
“… THE RADICAL LEFT MARXISTS THAT ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY, THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION THAT IS ILLEGALLY COERCING & PAYING SOCIAL AND LAMESTREAM MEDIA TO PUSH FOR A MENTALLY DISABLED DEMOCRAT OVER THE BRILLIANT, CLAIRVOYANT, AND USA LOVING DONALD J. TRUMP, AND, OF COURSE, THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE, WHICH APPOINTED A SPECIAL ‘PROSECUTOR’ WHO, TOGETHER WITH HIS WIFE AND FAMILY, HATES ‘Trump’ MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON ON EARTH.” (2022)
The ability to post—or have your staff do so—holiday well wishes that don’t generate controversy and derision isn’t technically a prerequisite for the Oval Office. And at this point, generating controversy and derision is part of Trump’s brand. Still, it’s nice to have a president who doesn’t do that.
