Trump Tells Death-Row Inmates Granted Clemency by Biden to "Go to Hell" in Lengthy Christmas Day Message

President-elect Donald Trump on December 25th, 2024 delivered a fiery Christmas Day message that reverberated across political and social landscapes. His remarks were particularly directed at federal death-row inmates who had recently been granted clemency by President Joe Biden.

Trump's message, shared on Truth Social, was unequivocal: "GO TO HELL!" This statement was aimed at the 37 inmates whose sentences were commuted by Biden, sparing them from execution.

The context of Trump's message is rooted in a major decision made by President Biden just days before Christmas. On Monday, December 23rd, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 men on federal death row.

This list included individuals convicted of heinous crimes, such as child killers and mass murderers. The decision to grant clemency was part of Biden's broader effort to address issues within the criminal justice system, though it sparked considerable controversy and debate.

Trump's response was characteristically blunt and critical. He accused Biden of pardoning some of the "most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them."

In his message, Trump expressed disdain for the clemency decision, refusing to extend any holiday goodwill to those he deemed undeserving. Instead, he reiterated his stance with a stark directive: "I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls’ but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL!"

Beyond his comments on the clemency issue, Trump's message also took aim at various political adversaries and international figures. He criticized what he referred to as "Radical Left Lunatics," accusing them of obstructing the U.S. court system and elections.

Trump also targeted China and Canada, expressing his disapproval of their actions and policies. Notably, he mentioned the Panama Canal, highlighting historical grievances and current geopolitical concerns.

In a broader political context, Trump's message underlined his ongoing campaign rhetoric and his vision for America's future. He declared, "We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!" This statement reflects his continued commitment to his political agenda and his anticipation of assuming office once again.
