'A torrent of bitterness': CNN host astonished by Trump's Christmas message
December 26, 2023
Former President Donald Trump's Christmas message, in which he told his enemies to "ROT IN HELL," startled CNN's Sara Sidner on Tuesday.
After reading excerpts from Trump's Monday Truth Social post, Sidner described it as "a torrent of fury and bitterness on Christmas day" and then asked Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard, "What is he thinking?"
"I think that when we see these messages coming from the former president, he is using the opportunity, you know, to reach the audience that you just mentioned there from his Truth Social platform," replied Kinnard. "Also, he's keeping in mind these are messages to those already supporting him, the voters who will soon begin casting his votes who are taking all the cases against him and all this information in this very unprecedented election cycle, and he's reminding them of everything he faces."

She then predicted that Trump would not lose any supporters over his "ROT IN HELL" Christmas message, as they had already stuck with him through two impeachments, four separate criminal indictments, and a jury finding him liable for sexually abusing journalist E. Jean Carrol.
"When I'm on the trail talking to voters, I don't think these messages change a lot of minds," she explained.
