Donald Trump got into the Christmas spirit in the way only he knows how, posting to Truth Social more than 150 times in 24 hours.

Per the Daily Beast, Trump played a lot of the hits, conferring holiday greetings on his “haters and losers,” calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar to be deported, and railing against Somali immigrants more broadly.

“In the early hours of Thursday, Christmas Day, the president shared a flurry of posts, many of which amplified baseless claims made by his allies and fans. It’s unclear if Trump, 79, published the posts himself or if he was in bed after attending a holiday dinner at Mar-a-Lago with his wife and father-in-law, then wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone, including ‘Radical Left Scum.’ The White House did not immediately return a request for comment,” the Beast said.

Trump also had posts providing a misleading account of the recent stories about more than 300,000 voters being “added” in Georgia in 2020, and calling for the massive civil lawsuit verdict against Rudy Giuliani to be reversed.

In one signature post, that resembled one long run-on sentence, Trump offered holiday greetings to “the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to “drop him like a dog” when things got too HOT.”

This drew some attention, as it implies, he had a better reason to no longer associate with Epstein than other people did.

“When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife “Republican,” Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story – a total Scam – and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP,'” he said putting his own name in all-caps and quotation marks for some reason.

He also shared a Fox News clip from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, in which Lutnick claimed that “because of the 4.3 percent growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) in the third quarter of the year, ‘all’ Americans are going to make ‘4.3 percent more money,'” the Beast said, which is very much not how GDP increases work.
