Trump Sends Ominous Message to Democrats Pushing for Full Release of Epstein Files: ‘Enjoy What May Be Your Last Merry Christmas’

President Donald Trump capped off Christmas Day with a dark and combative Truth Social post, lashing out at Democrats, media outlets, and critics pushing for full disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein-related files while issuing an ominous warning: “Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas.”

The message—blending holiday greetings with political threats and familiar grievances comes amid escalating controversy over the Justice Department’s handling of the mandated Epstein document releases, including recent unverified allegations against Trump himself.

The post, published late Thursday, December 25, framed ongoing coverage of Trump’s past ties to Epstein as a partisan smear campaign while positioning the president as the only figure who distanced himself from the late s** trafficker early.

“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT,” Trump wrote.

“Falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so.”

The president continued, railing on Democrats, the New York Times and bringing up Russian interference into the 2016 U.S. presidential election, calling it “FAKE.”

He escalated the rhetoric: “Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputation tarnished. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

The veiled threat—suggesting possible future political retribution or legal consequences drew swift condemnation for its menacing tone during a traditionally unifying holiday. Critics called it “unhinged” and “authoritarian,” while supporters viewed it as defiant pushback against perceived witch hunts.

Fresh Epstein Allegations Fuel the Outburst

The timing of Trump’s post aligns with a week of damaging disclosures from DOJ-released Epstein files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which he signed in November despite earlier opposition.

A December 23 document—an October 2020 FBI tip summary—contains an unverified allegation from a former limo driver claiming he overheard Trump in 1995 referencing “Jeffrey” and “abusing some girl” on a phone call. Years later, an unnamed woman allegedly told the driver Trump and Epstein raped her, then reportedly died in suspicious circumstances ruled a suicide.

Other releases have included flight logs showing Trump on Epstein’s jet more times than previously known, photos with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and disputed notes. The DOJ has dismissed many claims as “untrue and sensationalist,” often timed before the 2020 election.

Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, insisting his Epstein relationship was limited and ended long before legal issues surfaced.

Trump spent much of the holiday week highlighting achievements. On Christmas Eve, during NORAD Santa Tracker calls, he told a Pennsylvania child: “We won Pennsylvania—actually, three times. We won it in a landslide. So I love Pennsylvania.”

The Epstein-focused Christmas post, however, dominated his messaging, blending festive well-wishes with political combat and a hint of menace.

The files’ release—intended for full disclosure by December 19 has been marred by delays, redactions, and controversies. Democrats accuse the DOJ of obstruction; some call for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s impeachment. Senate Leader Chuck Schumer has threatened legal action.

The administration defends phased releases as victim-protective and dismisses critical items as recycled falsehoods.

Whether the warning motivates the base or alienates moderates will play out in coming months. For now, it cements Epstein as an enduring shadow over Trump’s second term.
