UPDATE: In a bold Christmas Eve message, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare that the “radical left scum” are “failing badly” in their efforts to undermine the United States. This statement comes as the nation reflects on his administration’s economic achievements and ongoing political tensions.
On December 24, 2025, Trump wrote, “Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our country, but are failing badly.” He emphasized key successes such as no open borders, a booming stock market, and the lowest crime rates in decades.
The President highlighted a recent 4.3% GDP growth rate, exceeding expectations, and claimed that his administration’s tariffs have generated trillions in growth. He stated, “Tariffs have given us trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity, and the strongest national security we have ever had.”
As part of his administration’s ongoing efforts, the Department of Homeland Security recently reported that since the signing of the Laken Riley Act in January 2025, they have arrested 17,500 criminal illegal immigrants. This act aims to bolster immigration enforcement, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asserting that “President Trump has empowered us to arrest and remove the millions of violent criminal illegal aliens unleashed on the United States by the previous administration.”
Trump’s remarks come as he also participated in the traditional NORAD Santa Tracker call, engaging with children and celebrating Christmas with his family at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
In a softer, official Christmas Day statement released by the White House, Trump extended warm wishes to Americans, emphasizing the religious significance of the holiday. “The First Lady and I send our warmest wishes to all Americans as we share in the joy of Christmas Day and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” he said.
He connected the biblical story of Jesus’ birth to the founding principles of the United States, reaffirming his commitment to faith, family, and freedom. The President concluded with a prayer for peace and a heartfelt message to U.S. servicemembers, stating, “We are grateful for their devotion, and we keep them and their loved ones close in our hearts.”
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Trump’s Christmas messages both highlight significant achievements and reflect ongoing divisions in the country. With the holiday spirit in the air, the impact of his administration’s policies remains a focal point for many Americans.
