Donald Trump’s New Year message is exactly as bizarre as we expected it to be

New year, same Donald.

Celebrating the New Year with a strong message would be a good way for the President of America to get people on their side going into the next 12 months.

It would be a good time to outline some plans for the new year, while also showing compassion to those who may not have been on board for the past 12 months.

But Donald Trump doesn’t do things normally, does he?

Instead of just wishing everyone a Happy New Year, Trump insisted on going on to say “2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY.”

You can see the tweet in full here. It’s in all caps, obviously.

At least he stretched his wishes out to “the haters and the fake news media”. That was good of him.
