US President Donald Trump participates in calls to US service members, on Christmas Eve, from the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, December 24, 2025. Donald Trump dialled up his holiday grievances on Thursday with a lengthy Christmas Day rant, this time aimed at associates of Jeffrey Epstein , the late convicted sex offender who is infamously the president’s old friend. “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so,” the president began in a post to his Truth Social platform. “When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife ‘Republican,’ Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP.’” Trump, who spent his Christmas Eve spewing venom at “Radical Left Scum” online, has notably dismissed his ties to Epstein in recent months as his Justice Department continues to face backlash for its handling of files linked to the disgraced financier. Trump’s name is mentioned hundreds of times in the files, he partied with Epstein at his Mar-a-Lago estate and records in the DOJ’s recent documents dump cite a federal prosecutor’s claim that Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet “many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).” On Monday, Trump claimed that the files being released were simply part of a push to “ deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has .” Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!” — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-25T23:58:24.028Z Elsewhere in his Christmas Day ramblings, the president took on The New York Times and suggested its reporting on the files would damage “so many of their friends.” “The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election ‘Reporting,’ even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage,” he wrote. “Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!!” He signed off with a far-from-festive holiday message, “Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump.” Related...
