Summary

Donald Trump criticized President Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates, calling them “violent criminals” and wishing them to go to hell.

Trump also took the opportunity to sarcastically wish a “Merry Christmas” to Chinese troops in the Panama Canal and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trump’s post also included references to his previous attempts to purchase Greenland and his suggestion that Wayne Gretzky run for Canadian Prime Minister.

As someone whose grandparents suffered a lot their last days on earth, I would (for me, not them).

Specially if I turn out to have Alzheimer's like one of them. I want to die with as many of my memories as I can; and not let future me live in constant confusion and fear; not knowing where he is or who are all the people around him.

I understand why other people wouldn't. But if I can have the choice; I would be seriously inclined to do it.
