The redemptive message of the Prince of Peace never involved force, division, narcissism, showmanship, or cruelty. He was, in His own words, “gentle and humble in heart.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

The 47th President has never issued a holiday message aimed at unity or even remotely befitting of the season. The man is utterly incapable of speaking kind words, performing selfless acts, or composing a tweet that doesn’t read like it was written by a fifth grader.

"Over the last couple of weeks, I sat down to write my Thanksgiving message several times, only to scrap every draft. Try as I may, I find myself incapable of penning some sappy tribute to the season. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I am ungrateful for the abundance of blessings in my life. I just find it difficult to celebrate when so many people are living in fear and experiencing unspeakable cruelty," writes J. Basil Dannebohm.
