Former US President Donald Trump wished his supporters a happy Thanksgiving in a Truth Social post early Thursday, where he also criticised New York's attorney general, the judge overseeing his civil fraud case, President Biden, and the "Radical Left Lunatics". Trump's post on the social media platform, Truth Social, has garnered more than 16,000 likes and has been reshared more than 4,000 times.

Here is the full statement:
“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violence Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a ‘Psycho,’ Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a ‘tiny’ Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tell him what to do & crooked Joe Biden who has weaponised his Department of Injustice against his political opponent & allowed our country to go to hell…,” Trump said on his social media site.

Thanksgiving post by Trump

Here's all that is mentioned in Trump's Thanksgiving post:

  • Accusations against Biden, claiming the weaponization of the "Department of Injustice" against the former president in the Oval Office, along with other groups like "Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS," were made by Trump.
  • Trump expressed confidence in winning the Presidential Election of 2024 and making America great again despite the challenges.
  • James, a Democrat, initiated the civil fraud case against Trump, alleging intentional inflation and deflation of asset values for tax benefits and better insurance coverage.
  • Trump consistently criticized James, labeling her as incompetent and racist, and arguing against the legitimacy of the trial.
  • Arthur Engoron, the judge overseeing the trial, has already ruled Trump liable for fraud in the case.
  • Greenfield, another target for Trump, was accused of violating court rules by donating to Democratic causes.
  • Disparaging posts about the officials involved in the case led to a gag order, temporarily lifted due to concerns about restricting Trump's free speech.
  • The appeals judge expressed concern over the gag order restricting Trump's free speech.
  • Trump's legal team's request for a mistrial was denied earlier this month.
