President-elect Donald Trump delivered a bold and unorthodox Christmas message, laying out his vision for America and touching on global issues, domestic politics, and his agenda for when he takes office in just over three weeks.
On the Panama Canal
Trump began by addressing U.S. relations with Panama and the ongoing debate over the Panama Canal, which he called vital to American interests. “Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal,” Trump said. He reiterated his position that the canal, which was built by the U.S. over a century ago at great cost, must be reclaimed or operated under fairer terms. Trump warned Panama against “ripping off” the U.S. with excessive rates and hinted at his willingness to take back control if necessary.
Canada and Greenland
Trump extended his message to Canada, proposing an unconventional idea that the country join the United States as its 51st state. “If Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other country,” he said. He also mentioned meeting hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, suggesting that Gretzky could make a future bid for leadership as “Governor of Canada.”
Turning to Greenland, Trump reaffirmed his belief that the U.S. should pursue ownership of the island, citing its importance for national security. “Merry Christmas to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes, and who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!” he proclaimed.
Addressing Domestic Politics and Death Row Inmates
Trump took aim at his political opponents, referring to “Radical Left Lunatics” who, according to him, are obstructing the legal and electoral systems. He vowed to stand firm against what he described as unjust attacks on himself and his supporters.
Regarding President Joe Biden’s commutation of 37 federal death row inmates, Trump had a blunt message: “GO TO HELL!” He criticized Biden’s decision as a betrayal of justice and vowed to restore law and order upon taking office.
Optimism for America’s Future
Trump concluded his message with an uplifting note about his vision for the country. “We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” he said. “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
A Signature Statement
