Overview
- On December 25, the president posted a Merry Christmas message on Truth Social that included the phrase "radical left scum" directed at political opponents.
- He paired the greeting with self-reported achievements, asserting no open borders, no "transgender for everyone" policies, stronger law enforcement, and record stock market levels.
- He claimed a 4.3% GDP growth rate, the lowest crime figures in decades, and economic gains from tariffs, presenting these points as evidence of his administration’s success.
- The message reflects his pattern of branding a wide spectrum of Democrats, including moderates, under the single label of the "radical left" and regularly singling out Joe Biden.
- Trump spent the holiday at Mar-a-Lago in Florida and attended a Christmas dinner on December 24, using the period to broadcast the message without announcing new policy moves.
