Trump kicks off Christmas Day with over 100 posts attacking Somalis, praising the economy and alleging voter fraud
Donald Trump kicked off Christmas Day with more than 100 Truth Social posts, attacking Somali immigrants, praised his economic policies and doubled down on his claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
The president’s social media spree, which includes scores of reposts, came hours after he wished the a merry Christmas to “Radical Left Scum.”
Trump’s festive activity took aim at many of his familiar targets and continued well past midnight. Trump’s messages included reposting Stephen Miller’s conspiracy theory that Democrats want to transform the U.S. into Somalia.
“When you see the state of Somalia, that’s what they want for America,” Miller claimed in a video reshared by Trump. “Because it’s easier to rule over an empire of ashes than it is for the Democratic Party to rule over a functioning, Western, high-trust society with a strong middle class.
“That’s their model for America, to make the whole country into a version of Somalia.”
Trump also re-shared several videos and posts that contained the phrase “President Trump was right all along,” as he touted his apparent economic successes.
In a video shared by Trump, Peter Navarro, the counselor for trade, bragged that “so-called ‘experts’” had failed to understand the president’s economic vision.
Navarro alleged that Trump had slowed down inflation with his policies and even that the cost of toys had fallen, ahead of the festive season.
Despite Navarro’s claims, Trump seemed to acknowledge the issue of rising costs several weeks ago, when he floated the idea that struggling families buy their children two dolls instead of “thirty seven.”
Trump also returned to one of his favored grievances – the 2020 election.
He reshared several posts, focusing particularly on votes counted in Fulton County, Georgia. Former president Joe Biden narrowly won in the state in November 2020, taking home 49.5 percent of the vote share compared to Trump’s 49.24 percent share, according to CNN.
The current president shared several videos, including one from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, which claimed that 315,000 votes had been counted in Fulton County to bolster Biden’s numbers.
Trump’s Christmas Day fury at 2020 continued with the president resharing a conspiracy from comedian Roseanne Barr.
Barr, a longtime Trump supporter, claimed that the global Covid-19 pandemic was a Democrat plot to force voters to use mail-in ballots so that they could rig the election.
