Instead of sending a message of holiday cheer, former US president decided to go on a Christmas rant.
While Christmas typically echoes sentiments of peace and unity, former US President Donald Trump chose an unconventional path this holiday season, using social media to address his legal challenges instead of extending traditional greetings.
In a series of messages on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Trump voiced his grievances and concerns, primarily focusing on his legal issues. His unorthodox approach, characterized by resentment and vitriol, has sparked discussions about the potential polarizing strategy he may employ in the upcoming 2024 election year.
The former president’s messages touched on a range of topics, from allegations of spying on his campaign to claims of election interference, expressing frustration at what he perceives as unprecedented levels of persecution. Trump’s messages hinted at the possibility of a self-serving narrative as he navigates legal battles and positions himself for a potential political comeback.
One notable message criticized a Colorado ruling that had removed him from contention, with Trump asserting that the decision was rooted in “political delusion” and garnered support from what he referred to as the “crazed Radical Left Lunatics.”
Despite the focus on legal challenges, Trump did share a video on Christmas morning featuring a compilation of his presidential Christmas speeches, offering a glimpse into a more traditional aspect of the holiday.

As Trump faces four criminal trials with 91 felony counts in the coming year, his legal team is actively seeking to address these challenges, including an appeal to dismiss a federal election interference case on grounds of presidential immunity.
The former president’s unique approach to Christmas messages has ignited conversations about the intersection of politics and the holiday season, setting the stage for an intriguing and potentially contentious 2024 presidential election year.
