Christmas message attacks 'Radical Left Scum' and 'Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein'

Trump's official Christmas message on Truth Social included attacks on perceived enemies rather than traditional holiday greetings. He wrote: 'Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is...' and 'Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein.' USA Today reported Trump 'heralded Christmas with messages criticizing Radical Left Scum,' while Forbes characterized it as Trump's 'wild Christmas Eve Truth Social barrage of grievances.' The Christmas message came amid his broader Christmas Day posting spree of 100-200 posts attacking political opponents and amplifying conspiracy theories. The attacks stood in contrast to the traditional presidential Christmas message released by the White House earlier, which offered 'warmest wishes to all Americans' in celebrating 'the birth of our Lord and Savior.' Multiple outlets noted the jarring disconnect between the solemn religious holiday and Trump's combative partisan messaging.
