Former President Donald Trump issued another press release on Friday, punctuating his false talk about electoral fraud with unexpectedly cheerful good wishes for Easter.
“Why is it that whenever ELECTORAL FRAUD 2020 is discussed, Fake News Media consistently states that such accusations are unfounded, unfounded, unjustified, etc.?” the statement read. “Unfortunately, there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and many very angry people understand that.”
“With each passing day, and unfortunately for the CRAZIES of the Radical Left, more and more facts are emerging,” he added. “Other than that, Happy Easter!”
As Trump is undoubtedly well aware, electoral security officials, international election observers, state and federal courts and his own Department of Justice have determined that there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 elections.
Social media users also noted that Trump released his message the same day a vehicle attempted to breach Capitol security, killing a police officer and the driver. Not once did he mention the attack.
Trump – who once said that COVID-19 would “miraculously” disappear in April 2020 so that the U.S. could return to normal at Easter – has issued strange Easter weekend wishes in the past. Last year, he happily announced the day that commemorates the crucifixion of Christ, tweeting: “HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY TO EVERYONE!”

Since Twitter banned him, the former president has publicly stated that he prefers his “most elegant” statements to the press to the social network he used to use incessantly.
But Twitter users still took the opportunity to scoff at him. “Other than that, Happy Easter” started the trend on the social media platform.
