All was not calm or bright on Donald Trump‘s Truth Social account this Christmas, as the former president raged against his treatment by the Biden administration — and predicted that he would be the victim of “illegal election interference.”
The 77-year-old told his followers on Monday morning that “2024 will go down as the year of great and fully coordinated illegal election interference by Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in the history of the United States, the DOJ, FBI, A.G.’s, & D.A.’s [sic], throughout the country[.]”
Trump then turned hopeful, writing: “But despite it all, in the end, there will be a big and glorious victory for those brave and valiant patriots who want to make America great again. Merry Christmas to all!!!”
The 45th president has long claimed without evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged” and “stolen” from him, getting himself into legal trouble in the process.
A plethora of polls show him edging out Biden in the national popular vote with a little over 10 months to go before Election Day.
Both Trump and Biden are the odds-on favorites to be their party’s standard-bearers and reprise their 2020 contest.
In a follow-up post Monday morning, Trump explained the difficulties of celebrating the holiday in light of the 91 criminal counts pending against him in four separate cases.
“It’s hard to have a truly great Christmas when you have a Crooked and Incompetent President who wants to put his Political Opponent in jail, and who has been working hard (for a change!), illegally using all of the levers of Law Enforcement, to do so,” he vented.
“We are in the fight of our lives to save our Country from MADNESS & DOOM. MAGA 2024!!!”
The former president has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all cases pending against him.
Trump famously has a penchant for marking holidays with backhanded well-wishes to the “haters and losers.”
On Christmas Eve, Trump complained about President Biden, special counsel Jack Smith, the 2020 election, FISA, immigration, and more, while wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
“They spied on my campaign, lied to Congress, cheated on FISA, rigged a presidential election, allowed millions of people, many from prisons & mental institutions, to invade our country, screwed up in Afghanistan, & Joe Biden’s misfits & thugs, like deranged Jack Smith, are coming after me, at levels of persecution never seen before in our country???” he fumed.
“It’s called election interference. Merry Christmas!”
In a video Sunday, Trump embraced the spirit of the season, stressing that “the birth of Jesus Christ is the true miracle we celebrate each Christmas.”
“This holiday, we give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. We pray for the safety of our men and women in uniform at home and abroad,” he said. “Next year, we will be well on our way to making America safer, stronger, greater and more prosperous than ever before.”
“God bless you all. May 2024 be the best year of our lives.”
