- Posting on Truth Social from Mar-a-Lago, President Trump wished Americans a merry Christmas while labeling opponents "Radical Left Scum."
- He paired the greeting with assertions of policy and economic successes, citing a "Record Stock Market," "No Inflation," a "4.3 GDP," and tariffs producing "trillions."
- Mediaite reported that during holiday calls with children, Trump told a Pennsylvania caller "We won Pennsylvania, actually, three times," a claim at odds with the state's recorded results.
- Alternet highlighted skepticism over crediting tariffs for growth, noting they reported that many measures could face Supreme Court review.
- Journalists and commentators, including Molly Jong-Fast, Harris Peskin, and Ray Silva, denounced the message in sharply critical posts.
