While for many people in the USA celebrating the Christmas holidays with their loved ones is the main focus, US President Donald Trump apparently cannot switch off.

On the contrary: With over 140 posts on Truth Social, the US head of state escalated digitally on December 25th. During the festival of love, he spread one thing above all: hate.
Donald Trump posts almost 150 hate posts in just one day
Trump’s postings on Truth Social began in the early hours of the morning. In rapid succession, the US President shared content that was largely based on claims that had long since been refuted or could not be verified.
Like, among other things, the US news portal «Daily Beast» reports, Trump spread a flood of old narratives in a short time: conspiracy stories about the 2020 election, defense of his convicted ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani, racist polemics against Somali immigrants. A call for the deportation of a Democratic representative can also be found in the flood of posts.
The 79-year-old was at his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. It remained unclear whether Trump wrote these posts himself or whether they were posted by employees. A query from the Daily Beast to the White House remained unanswered. But the contributions fit the pattern of complete verbal derailment by the president.
Donald Trump: Lonely Christmas dinner with the family
On December 24th, Trump spent Christmas Eve with his family at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. His wife Melania and her father Viktor Knavs were at his side at an opulent Christmas dinner. At 81, he is only two years older than the president. The pictures from the dinner went viral.
Because how «Daily Beast» reports, Knavs was visibly lively at the celebratory dinner, talking animatedly to his daughter, while Trump looked straight ahead, motionless. The US President was apparently completely excluded from the conversation. Only when he noticed the camera did he react with a stiff fist salute.
Critics of the president immediately took advantage of the opportunity online and pointed out Melania’s supposed lack of interest. “Could she sit further away?” joked one user. “Trump is seething with anger and shame that Melania only wants to talk to her father,” wrote another in a post that has been viewed 1.7 million times.
