Trump spends Christmas day firing off about his perceived political persecution on social media

US President-elect Donald Trump using series of social media posts to send Christmas Day greetings while revisiting controversial statements.

His controversial statements include annexing Canada and purchasing Greenland, in stark contrast to President Joe Biden’s traditional seasonal message.

Biden posted a short, traditional seasonal message about “kindness and compassion,” while Donald Trump fired off a volley of three dozen posts through the day. His Christmas messages directly addressed radical left lunatics and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, “whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high.”

Trump said in one message, using his characteristically erratic style of capitalisation: “Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections.”

On Truth Social website, he spent his Christmas day firing off about his own perceived political persecution — a contrast to Biden’s holiday wishes “to all Americans.”

In November, the Republican’s comeback electoral win on the back of heightened political polarisation and division across the country, which Trump leaned into in his posts.

Trump uploaded a photo showing himself as patriot of the year.
