While it’s common for politicians to deliver Christmas messages, US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks about Christmas have drawn attention. On Christmas Eve, Trump interacted with children tracking Santa’s journey using NORAD. Instead of focusing on the festive spirit, he brought up the 2020 election, a divisive topic among his supporters.
Trump’s unresolved feelings about the election were evident as he claimed victory in Pennsylvania multiple times to a child at his Mar-a-Lago resort. He also linked Santa tracking to his electoral success in Oklahoma. These conversations did not sit well with viewers, who criticized Trump’s self-centered approach on social media.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been criticized for his discussions about Santa. In a previous incident, he questioned a child’s belief in Santa. On Christmas Day, his message took a negative turn as he targeted the “Radical Left Scum.” This divisive language continued on official social media accounts.
The reactions to Trump’s Christmas interactions highlight ongoing concerns about his behavior, especially during holiday events.
