President-elect Donald Trump continues to keep things interesting during the holiday season, proving that his sense of humor is as sharp as ever. In the early hours of Thanksgiving, Trump managed to spread festive cheer along with a not-so-subtle jab at the so-called Radical Left Lunatics who have been tirelessly working to dismantle the fabric of America. While he extended warm wishes, he made it abundantly clear that despite their efforts, they failed miserably.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris, still reeling from her recent electoral defeat, decided it was time to throw her own hat into the holiday ring. Accompanied by her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, the duo unleashed a typical Thanksgiving message that could have easily been scripted by any third-rate greeting card company. Emhoff, in particular, delivered his lines with the enthusiasm of a mannequin, taking time to state the painfully obvious: family, food, thankfulness—anything that could elicit a yawn.
The highlight of their video was undoubtedly Harris’s attempt to focus on U.S. servicemembers, concluding with some high-minded talk of gratitude and community. Naturally, Emhoff joined her in this display of well-meaning sincerity, insisting they are “truly grateful for their service.” This was as meaningful as a soggy piece of toast, leaving viewers wondering if they were really supposed to bask in the warmth of their awkward embraces.
In an amusing twist of fate, the video was posted on Harris’s official account, while an earlier, cringe-worthy Thanksgiving message had originated from the DNC. This lead to speculation that the Democratic Party is trying to distance itself from Harris following the disastrous Tuesday night message that led to rampant rumors she appeared to be tipsy. Some are even suggesting that this video was posted not to inspire joy, but as a way to gently nudge her away from a 2028 presidential run.
Oh No, Kamala Harris Is Out With Another Message

In true social media fashion, reactions flooded in almost instantly, with sharp-eyed Twitter users questioning whether the two filmed their video messages in a single session given Harris’s unchanged outfit. A few enterprising commenters even expressed their gratitude that Harris will soon be out of the White House along with her husband, declaring they could not be more relieved about the political landscape come January.
As Thanksgiving unfolded, it became evident that Trump’s quick wit and penchant for humor starkly contrasted with the stiff and scripted delivery from Harris and Emhoff. While one party embraced a light-hearted jab at their opponents, the other struggled to muster enthusiasm amidst their fumbling efforts to connect with the American people. One thing is for sure: Thanksgiving this year served as a reminder that not every message of thanks carries the same weight.
