What did Donald Trump do today?

He spent Christmas as only he can, or would.

Trump usually celebrates holidays, including important religious ones like Christmas, by offering sarcastic "greetings" to the Americans he sees as his enemies. This year, he did it twice. The first message, posted at 7:02 p.m. on Christmas Eve, wished a "Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country." The second, at 5:51 p.m. today, offered a "Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein"—presumably not meaning to include himself, evidence of their intimate and long-lasting friendship notwithstanding.

In between, he posted more than 100 times to his private microblogging site. The binge of furious conspiracy theories and rants about his enemies took him to well past 1 a.m. this morning. Much of the content had to do with his bizarre fixation on his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. For example, he approvingly reposted a video about the comedian Roseanne Barr's belief that the COVID-19 pandemic had somehow been created by Democrats to force Americans to vote by mail. (No, really.)  

Trump remains cloistered at Mar-a-Lago, as he has for most of the period since the beginning of the Epstein document rollout and associated attempts at a cover-up.
 

Why does this matter?

• This is not how a mentally stable person behaves on any day, much less Christmas. 

• Shouting deranged conspiracy theories from the bully pulpit of the presidency is bad for the country.
