Ah, Thanksgiving. A time for family, gratitude, and pretending you enjoy your aunt’s Jell-O salad. But leave it to President-elect Donald Trump to turn even that into a flaming pile of garbage. While most of us were awkwardly dodging political arguments at the dinner table, Trump logged onto X (formerly Twitter) and decided to nuke the holiday spirit for everyone. His big Thanksgiving message? “Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country.”
Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide…

Classy, right? Because nothing says “leader of the free world” like calling half the country lunatics on a day that’s literally about coming together. And he didn’t stop there—he made sure to flex his “landslide victory,” just to rub a little salt in the mashed potatoes. Apparently, Trump’s version of gratitude is a middle finger in a Macy’s parade float.
But honestly, what did we expect? This guy’s Thanksgiving messages are like a Hallmark card from Satan. Last year, he was out here calling the New York Attorney General “Racist & Incompetent” and referring to a judge as a “Psycho.” Can you imagine getting that kind of sentiment in your holiday inbox? “Happy Thanksgiving, loser. Hope you choke on your pumpkin pie. Love, Donald.”
And the fallout is real. Families are skipping Thanksgiving altogether because political tension is so bad. Trump didn’t just divide the country; he divided Aunt Carol and Uncle Bob, and now you’re stuck eating your sad turkey leftovers in silence because everyone’s too scared to talk. Thanks, Donnie. You’ve ruined America and the cranberry sauce.
That’s why we’re proudly awarding Trump the Skidmark of the Week. It’s perfect for him—he’s spent his whole career leaving messes for other people to clean up, so why not one more? This award goes to those special individuals who remind us what happens when your ego is bigger than your brain and you just can’t stop yourself from saying the quiet part out loud.
Here’s the thing, Don. You’re the president-elect now. That means you don’t get to act like the drunk uncle everyone regrets inviting. You’re supposed to bring people together, not turn every holiday into the political version of a bar fight. But no, you couldn’t resist one more jab at the “radical left lunatics,” as if they were personally responsible for the dry stuffing at Mar-a-Lago.
America deserves better than this. We deserve a leader who can tell the difference between a Thanksgiving message and a WWE promo. Someone who doesn’t make you cringe every time they open their mouth. Someone who understands that Thanksgiving is about unity—not roasting half the country like it’s a burnt turkey.
Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Trump heard that and thought, “Cool, let’s burn it down and blame the Democrats.” So congratulations, Don. You’ve managed to ruin Thanksgiving for everyone except the handful of people still clapping like trained seals at your every insult. Enjoy your Skidmark of the Week—it’s the one title you’ve truly earned.
