WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump blasted people tied to Jeffrey Epstein, whom he called “sleazebags,” on Christmas night. He mixed seasonal greetings with sharp attacks on political rivals and critics.

Trump continued his pattern of using Christmas messages to lash out at those he accuses of targeting him through investigations and political “witch hunts."

Trump says he 'dropped' Epstein long before it became fashionable to do so



Trump used a Christmas message on Truth Social to attack people he said once supported Epstein. He began, "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.'"

Trump went on to explain the reason for the fallout, saying, "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."

Trump also criticized Democrats and some Republicans, including Rep Thomas Massie of Kentucky. He said, "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.'"

He went on to attack the New York Times and other media outlets, claiming, "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 continued, "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 ended the post with a sharp message, "Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump."

Jimmy Kimmel slams Trump in Christmas Day message



Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel criticized  Donald Trump during a Christmas Day appearance on a British channel.

Kimmel said ABC network suspended 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after his remarks on Charlie Kirk's death because Trump wanted to "shut me up” for not adoring him. He added, “The American government made a threat against me and the company I work for, and all of a sudden we were off the air.”

The comedian called the show’s return on September 23 “a September Christmas miracle” and credited the “millions of people” who spoke against the suspension. He said, “People who never watched my show, people who were on record saying they hate my show spoke out, they marched, they did this all to support the right to a free expression of speech."

He added, “We won, the President lost, and now I’m back on the air every night giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking.”

Kimmel warned viewers that government censorship can happen anywhere, not just in North Korea. “That’s what we thought, and now we’ve got King Donny the Eighth calling for executions,” he joked.

Quipping that Americans “have nothing against England’s king, just a problem with the guy who thinks he’s our king,” Kimmel said the United States is “literally and figuratively tearing down our democracy.”

He added, “From the free press, to science, to medicine, to judicial independence, to the actual White House itself, we are a right mess. And we know this is also affecting you, and I just wanted to say sorry. And we want you to know, or at least I want you to know, that we’re not all like him. We’re not all like that.”
