President Trump knocked his political opponents as “Radical Left Scum” in a Christmas message in which he boasted about his administration’s accomplishments during the first year of his second term.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly,” Trump wrote Wednesday in on the social platform X.
“We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had,” he continued.
“We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!” he added.
The latest GDP report showed the economy expanded during the third quarter at a rate of 4.3 percent, blowing past analysts’ expectations. Inflation cooled slightly in November, with prices rising at an annual pace of 2.7 percent, but it remains higher than the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target rate.
Trump has also had some of his most success in his first year back in office on the border, where arrests have significantly fallen. The aggressive actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in doing raids across the country, however, have been more controversial.
The president has made a tradition of posting Christmas messages that disparage his political opponents in recent years.
Last year, he used his Christmas post to tell 37 people whose death sentences were commuted by the Biden administration to “GO TO HELL,” saying, “I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky ‘souls.’”
The year before, Trump similarly called for various people he said were “looking to destroy” the country to “rot in Hell.”
