US President Donald Trump extended Christmas greetings to Americans on Wednesday (Dec 24), while also branding his political opponents “Radical Left Scum”, who he criticised for trying to “destroy the country”.

Taking to X, Trump launched a scathing attack against the Democrats while also highlighting what he views as achievements of his administration, including “record stock market” and “lowest crime numbers in decades”.

“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. 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,” he said in a post on X.

He further credited tariffs for generating “trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity” and asserted that the United States now enjoys “the strongest national security”.

“Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT,” he added in his post.

Trump warns against infiltration by ‘bad Santa’

The US president, while quizzing kids dialling into North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) about the presents that they were excited to receive for Christmas, urged children not to let a “bad Santa” infiltrate the country.

“We want to make sure that Santa is being good. Santa’s a very good person,” Trump said while speaking to kids ages 4 and 10 in Oklahoma. “We want to make sure that he’s not infiltrated, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa.” He didn’t elaborate.

Trump’s remarks came as he participated in the tradition of talking to youngsters who dial into NORAD, which playfully tracks Santa’s advancement around the globe.
