President Donald Trump attacked people he described as "losers" and "sleazebags" in a dark screed on social media on Christmas night.
In the post, Trump attempted to distance himself from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, someone he has previously referred to as a close friend. This comes at a time when new revelations from recently released Epstein files show Trump rode on Epstein's private plane, dubbed the "Lolita Express," at least eight times. Other documents indicate Trump spent time at Epstein's home in New York City, and that the two men exchanged birthday pleasantries.
"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, 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," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"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 - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with 'TRUMP,'" he wrote.
Trump also attacked "losers" like The New York Times for its coverage of his election and second administration.
"The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election 'Reporting,' even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage," Trump wrote. "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. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!"
