Trump's Rosh Hashanah statement reminds us of the importance of "kindness, compassion, and love"

From the guy who brought you "Democrat Savages."

Presidential Message on Rosh Hashanah, 2019
Issued on: September 29, 2019

As the High Holy Days commence, Melania and I wish those observing Rosh Hashanah a blessed and happy New Year.

This sacred day marks the start of a 10-day period of both celebration and reflection. Throughout the High Holy Days, those in the Jewish community engage in prayer and repentance, which culminate in the holiest day of the year in Judaism, Yom Kippur. Each day, with the blowing of the shofar, the Jewish people embark on a new spiritual journey to grow closer to Hashem and find a renewed sense of purpose in their faith.

As men, women, and children around the world partake in traditional liturgy and enjoy customary meals with loved ones, we are all reminded of the virtues we can incorporate into our lives to better us as a Nation—kindness, compassion, and love. Together, with devotion to these ideals, we can form more sincere bonds with people of all faiths to help spread peace and prosperity in the United States and abroad.

Melania and I pray that those celebrating Rosh Hashanah build a more meaningful relationship with God throughout the High Holy Days. May the Almighty bless you all.

One of the more literate minions in the West Wing took care of that without Fat Nixon's involvement. If he'd been allowed to write a Rosh Hashanah statement himself I shudder to think what it would look like.

To the charity of choice for the first reporter that can get Trump to try and say Rosh Hashanah?
