While many world leaders take the holy Easter holiday as an opportunity to spread messages of peace and unity, President Donald Trump took the time to fire off a scathing tirade against ‘highly destructive moron’ former president Joe Biden.
The 78-year-old posted his epic rant on Truth Social, slamming ‘left lunatics’ who are opposing his controversial mass deportation schemes.
‘Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country,’ Trump wrote on Sunday.
He took aim at Biden, blaming the previous president’s administration for allowing ‘millions’ of migrants into the US under a visa scheme.
‘Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America,’ Trump continued.
He concluded his targeted holiday wishes, and said: ‘But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!’
Trump’s Easter wishes come as his deportation efforts have been criticized by many following the ‘mistake’ deportation of a Maryland man, whom the Trump administration has accused of being an MS-13 gang member.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has lived in Maryland with his wife and children after arriving in the United States in 2011, was deported to a Salvadoran high-security prison in March.

While the White House initially admitted that he was deported by mistake, the Trump administration is adamant on Garcia’s status as a gang member and stand firm on his deportation.
A 2019 immigration judge had placed a deportation protection ruling on Garcia, after it was found he may be subject to persecution should he return to El Salvador.
The Supreme Court told the administration that they needed to ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return.
Late Thursday, a three-judge panel from the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously refused to suspend a judge’s decision to order sworn testimony by Trump administration officials to determine if they complied with the court’s instruction to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
The Trump administration claims it can’t do anything to free Garcia from an El Salvador prison or return him to the US ‘should be shocking to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear,’ the court said.
Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was nominated by Republican President Ronald Reagan, said: ‘It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all.’
‘The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done,’ the filing added.
Wilkinson said he and his two colleagues ‘cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.’

Garcia’s deportation sparked Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen to journey to El Salvador with hopes of lobbying for Garcia’s release

His wife and lawyer deny his gang affiliation and have sued the administration for improperly removing him from the U.S.
Garcia’s deportation sparked Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen to journey to El Salvador with hopes of lobbying for Garcia’s release.
The move was criticized by Republicans heavily, who have now suggested Van Hollen be prosecuted under the Logan Act – which threatens a fine or imprisonment should any American correspond with foreign officials to ‘influence… in relation to any disputes… within the United States.’
Trump has said his administration is focused first and foremost on removing ‘murderers’ from the United States who are in the country illegally.
He told Fox News on Tuesday that for others in the US illegally, he said, he’s going to implement ‘a self-deportation program.’
‘We’re going to give them a stipend. We’re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we’re going to work with them – if they’re good – if we want them back in, we’re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can,’ Trump said.
Fox interviewer Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, played Trump a clip of a Mexican man who she said arrived in the US illegally more than 20 years ago and has children who are American citizens.
It is not clear if the man now has legal permission to be in the country, but Campos-Duffy said the man said that even though he cannot vote, he would have supported Trump.
She played a clip of the man saying he agrees that if someone commits a crime, they should be returned to their countries – including himself.

In a brief order made in the early hours of Saturday, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove the Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center ‘until further order of this court’
‘I look at this man. I say, this is a guy that we want to keep,’ Trump replied. ‘I’ll probably take heat for saying it.’
He then asked if the man was supposed to be deported and answered his own question: ‘No, he didn’t say that. Good.’
‘I don’t think he’s in any danger of it,’ Trump said.
This comes as the Supreme Court blocked some of the President’s deportation efforts this weekend.
In a brief order made in the early hours of Saturday, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove the Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center ‘until further order of this court.’
Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.
The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Supreme Court said earlier this month that deportations could proceed only if those about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and were given ‘a reasonable time’ to contest their pending removals.
The last-minute order came as the alleged thugs were recently moved to the detention center in Anson, around 200 miles north of the Mexico border, sparking panic from their lawyers
Roberts, a conservative, warned Trump against threatening judges with impeachment after the president launched public attacks against James Boasberg, who ordered halts on deportation flights of Venezuelans bound for El Salvador

Trump is trying to deport the alleged gangsters under the 18th century Alien Enemies Act which allows the president to deport enemies in times of war. It has only been used a few times in history and was last wielded against Japanese prisoners in WWII.
The Supreme Court’s early hours order is the latest setback for Trump who was cautioned by Chief Justice John Roberts in a highly unusual intervention last month.
Roberts, a conservative, warned Trump against threatening judges with impeachment after the president launched public attacks against James Boasberg.
Judge Boasberg had ordered halts on deportation flights of Venezuelans bound for El Salvador.
The latest dispute centers on dozens of Venezuelans held in Texas.
