Jonathan Turley Compares Trump’s ‘ROT IN HELL’ Christmas Rant to ‘Die Hard’ in Confounding Explainer

Fox News legal analyst and George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley offered a unique view of former President Donald Trump’s widely panned Christmas message.

While many Americans were gathered with family opening presents or eating a meal, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to tell his perceived enemies to “ROT IN HELL” on Christmas Day.

“Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden’s ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic who just hired outside attorneys, fresh from the SWAMP (unprecedented!), to help him with his poorly executed WITCH HUNT against “TRUMP” and “MAGA.” Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and “sick” as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Trump raged.

Turley in turn shared a Fox News digital story about the message titled, “Trump shares Christmas message for opponents on Truth Social: ‘May they rot in hell.’” He added a caption to his tweet, writing:

Trump’s message of “May They Rot in Hell…Merry Christmas” is to holiday greetings what Die Hard is to Christmas movies: a matter of considerable interpretation for those of us stuck in the Peace-on-Earth or even just Ho-Ho-Ho mindset.

Critics of Turley’s comment on X/Twitter were particularly harsh:
