President Donald Trump shared a provocative Christmas message on Truth Social, extending wishes to all including the 'radical left scum' while highlighting achievements of his second term. The post contrasted his administration's policies with those of former President Joe Biden. Official White House and departmental messages followed with more traditional tones.
On Christmas Eve, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to deliver a holiday greeting laced with political commentary. In the message, he stated, “Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly.” Trump then outlined reversals to policies from Joe Biden's era, declaring, “We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement.”
He shifted to boasting about economic and security gains in the first year of his second term: “What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected.” Trump credited tariffs for “Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had,” adding, “We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT.”
Hours later, on December 25, 2025, the White House adopted a calmer approach, posting a simple photo of Trump and First Lady Melania Trump with the caption “MERRY CHRISTMAS!” The Department of Homeland Security shared a video set to “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” proclaiming, “Rejoice America, Christ is born!”
The War Department's rapid response account evoked history, noting, “Christmas night, 1776… The world slept while Washington crossed the Delaware. We carry his legacy,” alongside an image of George Washington. War Secretary Pete Hegseth offered a faith-centered wish: “Merry Christmas to all. Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May His light bring peace, hope, and joy to you and your families.”
These messages reflect a mix of festive spirit and partisan rhetoric during the holiday season.
