President Donald Trump let a second holiday missive fly late on Christmas Day, taking aim this time at the “Sleazebags” who had cozied up to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and reminding his followers that he had dropped Epstein “long before it became fashionable to do so.”

Trump posted the message via his Truth Social platform on Thursday evening, just an hour after his post announcing military strikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria, and said that once the truth was out in the open, it would be primarily Democrats who had a lot of explaining to do.

“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’ when things got too HOT,” Trump began, saying that they then “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.”

“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,” Trump continued. “A total Scam — and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP.'”

Trump then turned his attention to the media — specifically The New York Times — saying that the outlet was “losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage.”

“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,” he concluded. “But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump.”

Congress has released a number of documents related to Epstein in recent days, pursuant to the Epstein Transparency Act, but critics have said that it’s not enough — and that too much information remains redacted.

President Donald Trump ordered the United States military to carry out strikes on ISIS targets in Africa on Christmas Day, saying that he had warned them to stop the systematic slaughter of Christians and they had not heeded that warning.

Trump shared the news first in a post to his Truth Social platform, saying that the War Department had — on his orders — carried out a number of “perfect strikes” on targets throughout Northwest Nigeria.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump posted, adding, “I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”

“The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing,” he continued. “Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.”

“The President was clear last month,” War Secretary Pete Hegseth added. “The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end. The @DeptofWar is always ready, so ISIS found out tonight — on Christmas. More to come… Grateful for Nigerian government support & cooperation. Merry Christmas!”

Just hours before President Trump confirmed that the strikes had taken place, the War Department posted a Christmas message that served as a reminder that the United States military did not rest just because it was a holiday.

“Christmas night, 1776… The world slept while Washington crossed the Delaware. We carry his legacy,” the post read, and included an image of then-General George Washington and his men crossing the Delaware River.

On Christmas night of 1776, Washington led some 2,400 men in crossing the treacherously icy Delaware River. They surprised an encampment of Hessian soldiers — Germans fighting for the crown — near Trenton, where they won a decisive victory and took some 900 of the Hessians prisoner. Two other generals were supposed to cross the Delaware that same day — one to harass other troops in the area and prevent them from providing backup and another to prevent the Hessians a safe avenue of retreat — but only Washington and his men were able to make it across the river.
