Donald Trump began Christmas Day with over 100 posts on his Truth Social platform, targeting Somali immigrants, promoting his economic record, and repeating false claims about the 2020 election. The president's activity included reposting a conspiracy theory from Stephen Miller that Democrats aim to turn the US into Somalia.
Trump's posts, many of which were reposts, continued past midnight. He also shared a video from Peter Navarro, who claimed Trump's policies had reduced inflation and lowered the cost of toys. However, Trump had previously acknowledged rising costs, suggesting families buy fewer presents.
The president revisited his grievance over the 2020 election, focusing on Fulton County, Georgia, where Joe Biden narrowly won. He shared a video from Rudy Giuliani alleging 315,000 fraudulent votes, and a post from Roseanne Barr claiming the pandemic was a Democrat plot to rig mail-in voting.
Trump's social media spree comes as his approval rating stands at 36 percent, according to a Gallup poll, tying his first term for the lowest rating at the end of a first year since 1973.
