Trump lists accomplishments, says 'Radical Left Scum' are 'failing badly' in Christmas message

Trump economy proves critics wrong as stocks reach record high on Christmas Eve Fox News contributor Joe Concha explains why Democrats continue to get President Donald Trump's economy wrong on 'Fox & Friends.' President Donald Trump used his Christmas Eve Truth Social post to tout his administration's accomplishments and to bash those on the left whom he accused of trying to "destroy" the U.S. "Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our country, but are failing badly," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We no longer have open borders, men in women’s sports, transgender for everyone, or weak law enforcement. What we do have is a record stock market and 401K’s, lowest crime numbers in decades, no inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected." "Tariffs have given us trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity, and the strongest national security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!," the president added. In the first year of Trump's second term, the administration launched a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration , introduced controversial tariffs, worked to cut DEI from government programs and took steps toward fulfilling other campaign promises.

In a separate DHS announcement , the department unveiled the "2025 Worst of the Worst Criminal Illegal Aliens," saying that 70% of all ICE arrests are of illegal immigrants "convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S." DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement on the results of the Laken Riley Act that "President Trump has empowered us to arrest and remove the millions of violent criminal illegal aliens unleashed on the United States by the previous administration. Now, these criminals will face justice and be removed from our country." Trump's Christmas Truth Social post on his administration's accomplishments was also backed up by recent economic data . On Tuesday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its initial estimate of the third-quarter GDP, which showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 4.3% in the three-month period including July, August and September.
