President-elect Donald Trump recycled a 2018 Christmas photo of himself and Melania while issuing an uncharacteristically peaceful wish this year, as the family business went all out on peddling MAGA holiday gear
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!” Trump wrote simply on Truth Social on Wednesday.
In a separate post, the incoming president re-upped a picture of him and the once and future first lady from their 2018 official Christmas portrait.
The Trumps stood in front of Christmas trees decked out with red ornaments at the White House, holding hands.
The caption read, “Merry Christmas 2024” in all caps.
The soon-to-be 47th president and his family are likely spending the holiday down at Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where Trump has been handling his transition affairs since his November election.
The family is also getting into the Christmas spirit on their Trump Store site, selling teddy bears with “Trump” sweaters, MAGA hat ornaments and Trump gold wrapping paper.
The year’s simple Trump Christmas message is a far cry from his 2023 post, when he wished the “thugs” running the US government to “rot in hell” in a lengthy message.
“Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden’s ONLY HOPE, Deranged [special prosecutor] Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic who just hired outside attorneys, fresh from the SWAMP (unprecedented!), to help him with his poorly executed WITCH HUNT against ‘TRUMP’ and ‘MAGA,’” Trump wrote last year when he was in the thick of legal scandals.
“Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and “sick” as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Trump added in 2023.
