'Holy projection': Internet erupts after Trump's Christmas Day screed
Political analysts and observers on Thursday chided President Donald Trump's dark screed against "sleazebags" and "losers."
Trump posted a holiday message on his Truth Social platform, where he decried how the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files have impacted his presidency, and attacked political enemies like the Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for forcing the administration to release the files. Trump also threatened that this year may be "the last Christmas" because of how he's been treated.
"Sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!"
Political analysts and observers shared their thoughts on social media.
