Donald Trump spent his final Christmas Eve in office ranting about electoral fraud – while his wife Melania looked relaxed as she tracked Santa’s progress. The President of the United States issued six angry tweets about his election loss from his home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Referring to his pal Maria Baritromo’s Fox Business show, Trump wrote: ‘Maria’s show and ratings are better than ever. They are trying to shame her into not telling the truth. Her audience would be gone, and she is far too smart for that. Rigged Election!’
The president went on to tweet: ‘VOTER FRAUD IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY, IT IS A FACT!!!’ He then turned his attention to Twitter itself for fact-checking his tweets, writing: ‘Twitter is going wild with their flags, trying hard to suppress even the truth.
‘Just shows how dangerous they are, purposely stifling free speech. Very dangerous for our Country. Does Congress know that this is how Communism starts? Cancel Culture at its worst. End Section 230!’
And the president finished off his evening on social media by ranting at former loyalist Republicans who have since deserted him. He said: ‘I saved at least 8 Republican Senators, including Mitch (McConnell), from losing in the last Rigged (for President) Election.
‘Now they (almost all) sit back and watch me fight against a crooked and vicious foe, the Radical Left Democrats. I will NEVER FORGET!’ The president’s anger was in marked contrast to a tweet shared by his wife.
Mrs Trump shared snaps of herself in a festive red tartan outfit next to a twinkling tree, while on the phone to defense bosses at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad).
She tweeted: ‘Every #Christmas Eve, I enjoy tracking Santa’s journey with children from across the country & @NoradSanta.
‘Santa is on his way, so be sure to follow #NORADTracksSanta as he & his reindeer make their way around the world! #MerryChristmas!’
President Trump and the First Lady will be replaced by President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill on January 20.
Trump’s efforts to overturn Biden’s election win have failed, with the US Electoral College formally naming Biden was winner on December 14.
Some White House sources claim Mrs Trump is relieved at her husband’s loss, and excited about returning to life as a private citizen.
