President Biden and former President Trump shared very different Easter messages Sunday.

While Mr. Biden marked the holy day with a solemn message, Mr. Trump lashed out at his political opponents in an all-caps post on Truth Social.

The former president also hurled insults at the Justice Department and “Crooked Joe,” referring to the president.

Biden, a devout Catholic, celebrated Easter with celebration and a reminder of the story of Jesus’ sacrifice.

“Jill and I send warm wishes to Christians around the world who celebrate Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s resurrection.” the president said.

“When we gather with our loved ones, we remember the sacrifice of Jesus. We pray for each other and cherish the blessings of the dawn of new possibilities,” he continued. “And as war and conflict take a heavy toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to working for peace, security and dignity for all people.”

Trump’s political message comes after conservatives slammed Biden for recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility on Sunday. Transgender Visibility Day is observed on March 31 of each year, and Biden has vowed to recognize the day every year. Coincidentally, this year coincides with Easter.

Mr. Biden’s gratitude on this day caused a backlashthe Trump campaign, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), and other conservatives have alluded to the idea that, in some ways, it disrespects Easter itself.

The White House also pushed back on criticism Saturday, noting that Biden himself is deeply religious.

“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with my family, President Biden is in a position to unite people and protect the dignity and freedoms of all Americans,” Press Secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement to multiple news outlets. .

“Unfortunately, it is no surprise that politicians seek to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. Never abuse your faith.”

Transgender Day of Visibility was first recognized 15 years ago to celebrate transgender people and raise awareness of the discrimination they face. Easter falls on a different date each year.
