Biden stresses gratitude while Trump targets enemies in Thanksgiving messages

• Trump's Thanksgiving message shows he feels no need to strike a more conciliatory tone as he returns to the White House.
• Biden has promised Trump a peaceful transition of power, while Trump has vowed to roll back many of the Biden administration's achievements.

State of play: "Happy Thanksgiving, America. May we use this moment to take time from our busy lives and focus on what matters most: our families, our friends, our neighbors, and the fact that we've been blessed to live in America, the greatest country on Earth," Biden wrote on X Thursday.

• In a separate video message, he said he and First Lady Jill Biden were "grateful for the trust you put in us these past four years."
• "It's been the honor of our lives to serve you in the White House," he added.

The other side: In contrast to Biden's nonpartisan message, Trump took time in his Thanksgiving message to boast about his "landslide victory" in November.

• "Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed," Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday.
• He also offered a separate Thanksgiving post of a photo of himself with a law enforcement officer.
