Donald Trump shared his Christmas cheer on Truth Social with a festive message, “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!” However, his holiday greetings quickly escalated into a frenzy of 34 posts within an hour. Among them was a meme poking fun at former President Barack Obama, injecting controversy into his Christmas communication.

The meme displayed Trump smirking during his 2017 inauguration, accompanied by the caption: “When you see the guy who said ‘you’ll never be president’ at your inauguration.” Trump also posted a new photo with Melania, dressed in a shimmering white gown, captioned “Merry Christmas 2024.”

In addition to holiday wishes, Trump amplified articles supporting his policies and allies. These included a Wall Street Journal editorial endorsing Kash Patel for the FBI and a piece backing Pete Hegseth as defense secretary.

Melania opted for a more traditional greeting, sharing a golden star image with a red backdrop and the message, “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”

Trump Jr. joined the fray with an AI-generated image of his father as Santa Claus at the border, captioned: “He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, we’re gonna find out who’s getting deported by ICE…” Meanwhile, Senator Tommy Tuberville faced ridicule for claiming Trump “restored Christmas in America,” and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene urged prayers to end abortion alongside her holiday tree photo.
