The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it quotes multiple people without providing any context or evidence for their claims. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing the criticism of President Biden as 'ripping' and 'appalling'. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of transgender individuals being loved and understood while simultaneously criticizing them for celebrating Transgender Day on Easter Sunday.
The White House "know[s] exactly what they are doing."
They want you to hate! This helps no one and only promotes division,\nThey know exactly what they are doing.. we should be angry but shouldn\u2019t lose the spirit of what tomorrow means!
Don\u2019t lose focus. Because He is risen there is hope for all.

The author uses religious language to frame the issue of transgender rights as a violation of faith. The use of phrases such as 'betrayed the central tenet of Easter' and 'this is just one more instance of folks who do not know how to lead us trying to divide us' implies that those who support transgender rights are misguided or divisive, rather than acknowledging their validity. Additionally, the author uses language such as 'marginalized' and 'poor', which may be seen as a way of demonizing certain groups of people.
But this is just one more instance of folks who do not know how to lead us trying to divide us

The article is deceptive because it does not provide any evidence or sources for Trump's claims of evilness, sickness, derangement and corruption. It also uses quotation marks around words that are meant to be insulting or inflammatory. The author is biased in favor of Trump and his enemies without presenting a balanced view. The article does not disclose the legal status or credibility of any of the people mentioned by Trump, nor does it provide any context for their actions or motives. The article also uses emotional manipulation by using words like EVIL, SICK, DERANGED and CROOKED in all caps to emphasize Trump's negative attitude towards his opponents. The article is not a fair or objective report of the events but rather a partisan attack on those who are trying to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
He also insulted Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), who is set to retire from the House in April, by calling him “MR GALLAGHER”, which is a mocking way of spelling his name and shows his disrespect and contempt for him. He also did not provide any evidence or sources for his claims about Gallagher's actions or motives.
He also attacked President Joe Biden and the Justice Department for pursuing investigations into his actions, calling them “ILLEGAL” and “ILLEGALLY.”, without providing any details or reasons for his accusations. He also did not acknowledge that Biden was duly elected by the majority of voters in the 2020 presidential election and has a constitutional duty to enforce the law and protect the interests of all Americans.
He also posted polling stories and a photo of him receiving a golf trophy from Jack Nicklaus, winner of 18 major championships and perhaps the most accomplished golfer of all time. He boasted last week that he had won championships at his club in West Palm Beach, Florida. This shows his narcissism and lack of humility, as well as his attempt to distract from the legal troubles he is facing.
He did not mention anything about Trump or any other political issues in his message, which shows that he is trying to avoid further escalating the conflict with him and focus on a positive and peaceful tone.
In contrast, Biden posted a respectful and inclusive message for Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. He wished them warmest wishes and praised the power of hope and the promise of Christ's Resurrection. He also sent his greetings to everyone from his family, which shows his compassion and empathy.
The message began with “HAPPY EASTER TO ALL”, which implies that he is wishing everyone a happy holiday without acknowledging the religious significance of Easter or respecting the diversity of beliefs among his followers. He then proceeded to attack various legal authorities and prosecutors who are investigating him for alleged crimes, calling them by derogatory names such as “MRS. FANI “FAUNI” WADE, which is a misspelling of the district attorney's name and shows his contempt and disrespect for her. He also used words like “ILLEGAL” and “ILLEGALLY.”, which are not supported by any evidence or legal arguments, to dismiss the charges against him without acknowledging their validity or merit. He also did not mention that he has been indicted on 91 charges in various cases and has yet to be convicted of any of them.
He also attacked Judge Arthur F. Engoron and Judge Juan Merchan, who are presumably involved in some legal cases against him, as well as Merchan's daughter, without providing any details or reasons for his accusations. He also did not acknowledge that judges have a duty to uphold the law and protect the rights of all parties involved in a case.

The article contains several examples of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. The author uses the words 'EVIL', 'SICK', 'DERANGED' and other negative adjectives to describe his enemies without providing any evidence or context for these claims. This is an example of a fallacy known as name-calling, which involves attacking someone's character rather than addressing their arguments. Additionally, the author uses quotes from Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County (Ga.) District Attorney Fani Willis to make it seem like they are endorsing his claims without providing any evidence or context for these quotes. This is an example of a fallacy known as false dilemma, which involves presenting only two options when in reality there may be more. The author also uses the phrase 'MAY THEY ROT IN HELL' to express his anger towards his enemies, which is inflammatory and not based on any evidence or logical reasoning.
