The US president has a record of using the holidays to call out his perceived enemies
US President Donald Trump has singled out the “radical left scum” in his Christmas wishes this year, snapping at his perceived political enemies.
Trump has followed a pattern of extending holiday wishes to those he has variously described as “my many enemies” and “haters and losers” since at least 2013.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly,” his message on Truth Social on Thursday said. Trump went on to tout his achievements during the first year of his second presidential term.
On Christmas Eve, the president injected politics into his banter with children, calling the North American Aerospace Defense Command as it ‘tracked’ Santa Claus’ progress around the world.
“We want to make sure that Santa is being good. Santa’s a very good person,” Trump told youngsters in Oklahoma. “We want to make sure that he’s not infiltrated, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa.”

Border security and the enforcement of deportation of foreign nationals staying in the US illegally is a signature policy of Trump’s second term and a matter of significant controversy. Critics argue his administration is breaking the law when expelling illegal immigrants.
