Joe Biden and Donald Trump Deliver Starkly Different Christmas Day Messages
Former President Donald Trump's Christmas message was in stark contrast to President Joe Biden, who sent traditional festive greetings and well wishes to his millions of supporters.
According to Newsweek, Biden tweeted a message of love and unity on Christmas Day. The president said: "Jill and I wish you a very Merry Christmas. We hope you and your loved ones are surrounded by love, happiness, and cheer this holiday season."
In a separate tweet via the official POTUS Twitter account, Biden noted that his entire family wished "America" a "Merry Christmas." Biden also posted a photo of him and his wife, Jill Biden, on a call with active-duty military members on Christmas Day afternoon.
Biden wrote in the image's caption: "This Christmas, Jill and I were honored to thank a few brave men and women in uniform for their sacrifices this time of year."

Donald Trump's Christmas Message
By contrast, Donald Trump spent Christmas Day venting grievances, posting false claims regarding the 2020 election, and even calling the United States a "failed nation.
On his own social media platform Truth Social, the former president wished "everyone" a Merry Christmas but also took a swipe at some of his political opponents, including "mentally disabled" potential 2024 election rival, Joe Biden.
The Mirror reported that the former president also praised himself in an unusual term as a "clairvoyant."
Trump said in his Truth Social post on December 25: "Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disabled Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump."
He added: "On this very cold but beautiful Christmas Day, look at our Nation NOW on the Southern Border compared to only a short time ago during the Trump Administration. We had the most SECURE Border in our history, versus the 'horror show' that that is happening now, with record setting numbers of people, many of them hardened Criminals (including Killers, Human Traffickers and Drug Dealers), POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY at a rate the likes of which we have never seen before. The USA is dying from within!!!"
The Republican former president further noted that under the Biden administration: "WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION!"
Trump also claimed that the country was "energy independent" two years ago with "almost zero inflation." He added that there was also no war between Ukraine and Russia during his time, and "ISIS was defeated."
He also said that the military was respected "before the disaster" in Afghanistan. Trump added: "Our Border was Strong, the Economy was GREAT, the China Virus was in retreat (Operation Warp Speed was considered a modern day 'miracle'), and we weren't the laughing stock of the World."
The former president also mentioned "The Department of Injustice," which "appointed a Special 'Prosecutor' who together with his wife and family, HATES 'Trump' more than any other person on earth."
How Joe Biden and Jill Biden Spend Christmas
According to PEOPLE, the Bidens had a cozy Christmas Eve, decorating their Christmas tree with the family. The couple tweeted a photo of them hanging their ornaments on a Christmas tree.
"Just a few finishing touches! Hope you and your loved ones are having a great Christmas Eve," Joe Biden and Jill Biden captioned the photo.
According to the Associated Press, the couple visited the Children's National Hospital and read stories to children's patients. The AP reported that Joe became the first president to join his wife for an annual holiday visit when he adopted the tradition last year.
On Christmas Day, Joe and Jill made phone calls to some of America's military men and women. The White House said the Bidens called Army members stationed in Panama City, Panama; Navy members in the Arabian Sea; Marines in San Diego, California; Coast Guard members in Alameda, California; Air Force members in Okinawa, Japan; and Space Force members in Europe.
