President Trump wished a Merry Christmas to all, including “Radical Left Scum.”

“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly,” the President posted Wednesday on his Truth Social media platform and Elon Musk’s X.

Some of the President’s followers supported his unconventional holiday message while others wondered if it was appropriate.

“We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement,” Trump continued before celebrating a strong stock market and the effects of his tariffs.

The stock market closed on a record high Wednesday while seasonal job growth beat expectations despite growing unemployment.

“We are respected again, perhaps like never before,” Trump concluded. “God Bless America!!! President DJT.”

The President’s Christmas post comes 10 days after he drew bipartisan criticism for using his social media platform to speculate upon the murders of Hollywood couple Rob and Michelle Reiner. Trump claimed Rob Reiner and his wife were killed because of the effect the famed filmmaker’s “obsession” with the President had on others. The couple’s son Nick Reiner has been charged iwth their murders.

Trump, 79, has previously used social media to “extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers” on the anniversary of the terror attacks on Sept. 11 and to declare on Juneteenth that the United States has “too many non-working holidays.”
