His message contrasted with other leaders' softer, non-partisan greetings. Trump emphasized policy reversals and national security, framing his message as both a celebration and a warning to opponents. President **Donald Trump** put politics at the center of his Christmas Eve messaging, pairing cheery Santa-tracker calls with children with a searing social media post that lashed out at Democrats and boasted about the economy. ## Trump's Christmas Message Blends Faith, Fury, Politics The holiday greeting struck a far less conciliatory tone than many other leaders' seasonal wishes. In his post, Trump wrote, "Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left… that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement." He framed the message as a celebration of his policy reversals and a warning to opponents. > Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock… > > — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 25, 2025 He continued, "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!!! President DJT." Commerce Department figures confirm third-quarter growth of 4.3%, although economists note that inflation remains around 2.7% and say some of the surge reflects temporary effects from trade and defense. **See Also: They Found Their Dad’s Budget From 1989 And Thought It’d Be A Snapshot Of Simpler Times.
