In a message called typically on-brand by observers, US President Donald Trump wished “Merry Christmas to all”—including his political opponents, whom he described in decidedly unchristlike language.

“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly,” Trump said Christmas Eve on his Truth Social network.

“We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement,” the president added. “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. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!”

While nothing new—Trump has used past Christmas messages to tell people he doesn’t like to “go to hell” and “rot in hell”—observers, including some MAGA supporters, were still left shaking their heads.

“Radical Left Scum” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣Christmas greetings from a liar, traitor, pedophile, and overall shitstain upon society.

“Nothing more Christian than to be a hateful wretched fuck on Jesus’ birthday!” liberal political commentator Dean Withers said on X.

Another popular X account posted: “A sitting president of the United States using Christmas Day to spew venom at fellow Americans he calls ‘Radical Left Scum’ isn’t just unpresidential—it’s unhinged, un-Christian, and utterly beneath the office.”

“This is the behavior of a bitter, small man who can’t even pretend to unify for one holy day,” she added. “Shameful. Disgraceful. Pathetic.”
