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 “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.”
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.
“There’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,” the president said.
Biden, who is Catholic and attends church regularly, is likely to face Trump in a presidential rematch next year.
The president has stepped up his criticism of Trump and often bashes his political rival at fundraisers, bringing up comments Trump makes and painting him as a threat to democracy.
Trump is holding onto his lead in the GOP presidential primary, polling with a 52.4-point lead in the aggregation of polls kept by Decision Desk HQ and The Hill. Biden is polling slightly behind Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up, with the aggregation of polls showing Trump with a 1.9 percent lead.
