Donald Trump stirred up the internet on Christmas by using his festive posts to settle scores and take swipes at foes, prompting critics to dub it a self-centered holiday affair.
In a series of Christmas messages, the former president didn’t hold back, targeting a DOJ official, President Joe Biden, and Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump’s unconventional approach raised eyebrows, with some calling out his tendency to turn holidays into platforms for airing grievances.
One of Trump’s Christmas posts drew particular attention from former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, who remarked on his ALL CAPS meltdown on Truth Social, labeling him a very stable genius.
Former Republican Filipkowski responded to Trump’s focus on healthcare during the holidays, sarcastically noting Trump’s apparent concern for the people. Law professor Lee Kovarsky highlighted the irony in Trump’s claim that his followers needed clarification on the opposite of happy.
Another Trump Truth Social post predicting 2024 as the year of illegal election interference by crooked Joe Biden drew criticism for its lack of festive cheer, as noted by Filipkowski.
Democracy expert Trygve Olson pointed out Trump’s self-centered approach, suggesting that those with Autocratic Personality Disorder make everything, even Christmas, about themselves. Meanwhile, former Republican lawmaker Joe Walsh shared artwork portraying Trump as at his worst during holidays when the celebration isn’t centered around him.
