President-elect Donald Trump refused to wish the 37 federal death row inmates granted clemency by President Joe Biden a merry Christmas, instead telling them to "go to Hell" in a post shared on his Truth Social account Wednesday (December 25).

“[T]o the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump wrote.

“I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls’ but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL!” he added.

Biden, 82, commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row on Monday (December 23), ABC News reports. The president said the reduced sentences were "consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions," making exceptions for three inmates convicted of terrorism or hate-motivated mass killings.

The three people on the federal execution list who didn't have their death sentences commuted were Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Tree of Life Synagogue mass shooter Robert Bowers and Dylann Roof, who killed nine Black churchgoers during a racially motivated shooting in South Carolina.

Trump, 78, also took shots at China, Canada and "Radical Left Lunatics," while reaffirming his public support of the U.S. taking control of the Panama Canal and Greenland in his lengthy Truth Social post.

“We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Trump concluded in his post.
