   President Trump Is Angry At Americans Fo

   Trump delivered a Christmas message that included a taunt aimed at “Radical   
   Left Scum,” who, he wrote, are bent on destroying the country.   
      
   After midnight, the holiday spirit took another partisan political turn.   
   The president posted or reposted more than 100 times on his Truth Social   
   website, in many cases amplifying messages disparaging perceived political   
   foes.   
      
   As Christmas Day broke, the president made clear he is still captivated by   
   his loss to Joe Biden in 2020.   
      
   He reposted one message that called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to   
   ensure “accountability” by prosecuting former Democratic President Barack   
   Obama over the election.   
      
   He also shared a video from Colton Moore, a Georgia state senator running   
   for the congressional seat being vacated by Republican Marjorie Taylor   
   Greene.   
      
   “You know, Donald Trump was right the entire time,” Moore said in the   
   video. “The election in 2020 was stolen.” He went on to say that “people   
   need to be arrested and tried for treason — a lot of them.”   
      
   No evidence has emerged of wrongdoing on a scale that would have changed   
   the outcome of the 2020 election, though Trump said in June he wants a   
   special prosecutor to investigate what happened.   
      
   With more than 11 million followers on Truth Social, Trump reposted   
   messages involving familiar foils. Some called for getting rid of the   
   Affordable Care Act, signed into law by Obama 15 years ago (last week, the   
   Republican-led House and Senate left town for the new year without a health   
   care deal that will prevent insurance premiums from rising for millions of   
   Americans).   
      
   In his feed, Trump drew attention to a post depicting California Gov. Gavin   
   Newsom, a potential Democratic candidate in the 2028 presidential race, as   
   a socialist.

   office   
      
   Another of his reposts centered on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s   
   growing wealth during her time in Congress. The post Trump shared   
   suggested, without evidence, that she should go to prison for insider   
   trading. (Sitting behind Trump, Pelosi famously tore up a copy of his State   
   of the Union address after he finished speaking in 2020.)   
      
   Trump shared several posts attacking Somali immigrants. He took aim   
   specifically at Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat born in Somalia,   
   reposting a video questioning her U.S. citizenship and writing, “Throw her   
   out of the U.S., Now!” The president has made a flurry of disparaging   
   remarks about Somali immigrants in recent weeks.   
      
   Trump also used his feed to promote economic policies that have faced   
   criticism. Polls show that he’s lost ground with voters who are relying on   
   him to make groceries, utilities and other necessities more affordable. At   
   1:15 a.m., he reposted a Fox News video in which a guest credited Trump’s   
   stewardship of the economy with the rapid 4.3% growth in gross domestic   
   product during the third quarter.   
      
   The White House did not respond to an inquiry Thursday about whether it was   
   Trump or one of his aides who reposted all the messages.   
      
   Trump singled out a video from Secretary of State Marco Rubio in which he   
   rattled off various peace deals that the president said he reached since   
   taking office in January. Trump has said he deserves to win the Nobel Peace   
   Prize, which will be awarded in October 2026. The deals that Rubio outlined   
   form the basis of Trump’s candidacy for the prize, which Obama and three   
   other presidents have won.   
      
   Rubio said in the video that Trump stopped a looming war between India and   
   Pakistan, though India has disputed the claim. Of the conflict between   
   Cambodia and Thailand, Rubio said, “We got that peace deal put in place.”   
      
   Though the two neighboring countries had reached a ceasefire, more than two   
   weeks of border clashes have resulted in 86 deaths.   
      
   Rubio, who feuded with Trump during the 2016 Republican presidential   
   primary, called his boss “the best president we’ve ever had.”   
      
   For Trump, sprinkling partisan grievance into holiday cheer has become   
   something of a tradition.   
      
   As president-elect during Thanksgiving last year, he offered good wishes to   
   everyone, even the “Radical Left Lunatics.”
