As a change in presidential administrations approaches, President-elect Trump and President Biden both marked the Christmas holiday, with Biden acknowledging that it would be his last time as president to wish the nation a merry Christmas.
Trump, who will be sworn in on Jan. 20, exclaimed in a post on Truth Social, “MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!” In another post he shared a photo of himself and his wife Melania — the photo bore the message “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
In a post on the @POTUS presidential X account, Biden said: “For the last time as your president, it’s my honor to wish all of America a very Merry Christmas. My hope for our nation, today and always, is that we continue to seek the light of liberty and love, kindness and compassion, dignity and decency. May God bless you all.”
