This Christmas, President Trump's
schedule includes taking phone calls
from children, thanking service members,
and dinner at Maraago. On Christmas Eve,
the president posted a Christmas message
on True Social, wishing merry Christmas
to all. He touted America's economic
gains, including a strong GDP record,
stock markets, uh, low crime, strong
national security, and tariff revenue.
Trump also criticized the left in his
post. Uh Trump ended his message by
saying, quote, "We are respected again,
perhaps like never before. God bless
America."
>> The president also surprised children
when he answered Nored's Santa calls.
>> Will Santa ever get mad if we don't
leave him out any cookies?
>> I I think he won't get mad, but I think
he'll be very disappointed.
You know, Santa's he tends to be a
little bit on the cherubic side. You
know what cherubic means? A little on
the heavy side.
>> I think Santa would like some cookies.
You'd like to leave some cookies for
Santa, right?
>> Merry Christmas.
>> But you're not going to forget. You'll
leave some. I would leave them. I think
Santa has a serious appetite.
>> Yes.
>> Right.
The president also called US service
members on Christmas Eve to thank them
for their devotion and service. He
acknowledged the sacrifice they and
their family made when duty separates
them during the holiday season. The
president said they have earned the
gratitude of all Americans for keeping
the country safe, strong, and free and
that the country is praying for them.
Trump also reminded service members
service members about their warrior
dividend.
By now, I hope most of you have received
your special warrior dividend of 1776,
right? $1,776.
And you know, in case you're not aware
of it, it's tax-free. You don't have to
pay tax. In other words, you don't have
to send half of it back to the
government 15 minutes after you get it.
Trump's itinerary yesterday also
included attending a Christmas Eve
dinner in the Maraago Ballroom.
