Donald Trump Engages in Extensive Christmas Day Social Media Activity, Targeting Foes and Reasserting Election Claims

Christmas Day Social Media Barrage

On Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, former President Donald Trump engaged in a prolific social media spree, posting nearly 200 times across platforms including Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter). The extensive online activity featured a series of messages targeting political opponents and reiterating his long-standing claims about the 2020 presidential election.

This high volume of posts contrasted sharply with the traditional holiday messages from other political figures, including President Joe Biden, who issued a call for unity and compassion.

Denouncing Perceived Adversaries

Throughout the day, Trump's posts frequently denounced individuals and groups he characterized as political foes. He directed criticism at what he termed 'Radical Left Scum' and 'left lunatics,' and specifically attacked President Joe Biden, federal law enforcement agencies, and special counsel Jack Smith. In one post, he stated, 'Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly.'

Other targets of his social media commentary included:

• Somali immigrants, with posts attacking them and reposting conspiracy theories.
• The 'Woke Military' and 'All Electric Car Lunacy.'
• Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he referred to as the 'governor' of Canada, suggesting the country could become the '51st State' with reduced taxes.

Reiterating 2020 Election Claims

A significant portion of Trump's Christmas Day posts focused on casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. He reiterated unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen, particularly highlighting alleged issues in Fulton County, Georgia. During a phone call with a child as part of the NORAD Santa Tracker tradition, Trump claimed he had won Pennsylvania 'three times' and 'in a landslide,' despite official records showing he lost the state in 2020 to Joe Biden.

He also shared content from figures like Peter Navarro, who claimed Trump's policies had positively impacted the economy, and promoted a conspiracy theory from Roseanne Barr alleging that COVID-19 was a Democratic plot to influence the election.

Broader Context and Reactions

The social media activity occurred amidst a period of heightened political polarization in the United States. Trump's posts also touched on his economic policies, claiming they had slowed inflation and reduced prices. His participation in the NORAD Santa Tracker calls, a traditional holiday event, also became a platform for political remarks, including comments about a 'bad Santa' and his election claims.
