Former US President Donald Trump ushered in Christmas Day with a marathon social media session, publishing a barrage of more than 100 posts on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of 25 December 2025.
Festive Fury: Attacks on Immigrants and Conspiracy Theories
The content of Trump's festive posts followed familiar themes, combining inflammatory rhetoric with unsubstantiated claims. A significant portion of his activity involved attacking immigrants, specifically targeting people from Somalia.
He amplified a conspiracy theory originally promoted by his former adviser, Stephen Miller. In a video reshared by Trump, Miller claimed Democratic politicians aim to transform the United States into a version of Somalia. "When you see the state of Somalia, that's what they want for America," Miller asserted, suggesting it would be easier for the party to govern a broken society.
Trump's Christmas messaging also revisited baseless claims about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. He reposted a conspiracy theory from comedian and supporter Roseanne Barr, which alleged the pandemic was a Democratic plot to expand mail-in voting and rig the 2020 election.
Boasting on Economy and Revisiting 2020 Election Grievances
Amid the attacks, Trump dedicated numerous posts to praising his own economic record. He shared multiple videos and messages containing the phrase "President Trump was right all along," attempting to highlight his perceived policy successes.
One reshared video featured former trade advisor Peter Navarro, who boasted that Trump's policies had slowed inflation and even reduced the cost of toys ahead of the festive season. This claim contrasted with Trump's own suggestion several weeks prior that struggling families should buy fewer presents.
The 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden, remained a central focus. He concentrated on Fulton County, Georgia, a key battleground. Trump reposted a video from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani falsely claiming that 315,000 votes were counted in Fulton County to bolster Biden's numbers. Official results show Biden won Georgia with 49.5% of the vote to Trump's 49.24%.
Public Backdrop: Plummeting Approval Ratings
This Christmas Day social media offensive occurred against a backdrop of declining public support. A recent Gallup poll placed Trump's approval rating at 36 percent, tying with the low point of his first term for the worst rating of any president since 1973 at the end of their first year in office.
The sheer volume of posts, which included scores of reposts and continued past midnight, underscores Trump's continued reliance on direct, unfiltered communication with his base, even on a major national holiday. The activity began just hours after he issued a Christmas greeting aimed at his political opponents, whom he referred to as "Radical Left Scum."
