Has Trump blasted a Truth Social post "Happy Good Friday!" yet?

You know, bceause he thinks its an extra day on the golf course or at the Club? Not having anything to do with a solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary.

Is "Happy Good Friday" a bad greeting? Gore1FL Apr 2025 #1

I just texted some friends "Have a peaceful Good Friday". This seems appropriate to me... wcmagumba Apr 2025 #4

When I was a Christian we said that to each other. We did know the outcome of the story.

It's similar to Yom Kippur--a blessed but very solemn holy day.

"Happy Good Friday" just seems off.

We went with the "good" in "good friday." I'm an atheist now and have no skin in the game.

As a Catholic, we're steeped in good ol' fashioned guilt pretty heavily so Good Friday is never one of those happy celebrations.

No disrepect to you or any of our friends here at DU.

Just commenatry on Trump and his past weird postings related to events and holidays. His flock treats him as a man of faith and all he sees or knows is a day off.

on Good Friday, my grandma wouldn't let us kids to anything, not even listen to the radio, nothing from noon to 3 PM.
