Now compare that to Trump’s Easter tweet.
“Happy Easter! I have never been happier or more content because your Country is doing so well, with an Economy that is the talk of the World and may be stronger than it has ever been before. Have a great day!”

People on Twitter were quick to point out the difference:
@realDonaldTrump here's an example of a real man. Just for reference. I know with you and your bought "friends" and cronies around all the time you probably haven't seen one in a while.#Resist https://t.co/m49EyWZd8r

Hey @realDonaldTrump – take a lesson from how a LEADER acts on a day like today. TAKE A BREAK and just shut up about yourself for ONE DAY. https://t.co/qseGCWhph5

Thank you for the lovely note from a family that practices what it preaches, and extolls the values of 'love' & 'renewal' for everyone, 'especially those in need.' What a contrast from @realDonaldTrump, who spews his hate & anger through lies and curses. #ImpeachTrump https://t.co/w1FAgbYl9T
