For most, Christmas is a day for family, food, and gifts. For President-elect Donald Trump, however, it became the perfect occasion to fire off a fierce series of Truth Social posts, criticizing outgoing President Joe Biden and offering his own colorful policy insights.
In one post, Trump condemned Biden’s commutation of 37 federal death row sentences, all involving individuals convicted of murder, calling the decision another reckless move by the “amoral” lame-duck president. Trump expressed his disgust in his usual blunt fashion:
Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME. They know that their only…

In another post, Trump lightheartedly suggested that Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky should consider running for prime minister. He recounted his recent meeting with “The Great One”:
I just left Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One” as he is known in Ice Hockey circles. I said, “Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.” He had no interest, but I think…

Trump also turned his attention to Panama and its administration of the canal, once a centerpiece of American engineering might, criticizing Chinese involvement in the strategic waterway:
Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair”…

He took another jab at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, proposing dramatic reforms:
“To Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high: if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.”
Trump’s posts, spanning topics from crime to international relations, signal that he’s poised to remain a dominant voice both online and on the world stage as he prepares for his return to office. With less than a month until his inauguration, he seems ready to tackle controversies head-on, leaving no sacred holiday—or leader—off-limits in his signature no-holds-barred style.
