Christmas is here and it went like every other Christmas I can remember. Stores packed with panicked shoppers (people, you can shop online now, it’s not 1982), kids screaming, and everybody buying dumb overpriced shit they don’t need because we’re Americans and we’re materialistic. That’s the holiday spirit, apparently.

Meanwhile liberals spent the whole year screeching that Trump’s tariffs were gonna “ruin Christmas.” When they weren’t yelling about whatever else they convinced themselves Trump was destroying. Hey, by the way, 2025 is almost over. Remember “Project 2025” that was supposed to turn America into the Handmaid’s Tale? Yeah. Didn’t happen. Shocker.

Back to Christmas. Trump’s tariff policy follows years of American jobs being shipped overseas through garbage trade deals. And no shit buying American costs more than buying products made in a sweatshop. Paying workers a real wage has a price tag. But liberals lost their minds anyway because they’ve got Trump Derangement Syndrome so bad he could save a basket of kittens and they’d still call him a Nazi.

If you think I’m exaggerating, Google it. The Atlantic actually ran a piece titled “Donald Trump’s War on Christmas” less than a month ago. Gavin Newsom called Trump the “Grinch in Chief.” You literally cannot make this stuff up. These people wake up mad.

What’s wild isn’t that everything’s fine. What’s wild is that anybody still listens to liberals about anything. “Global warming” still hasn’t melted the ice caps, Florida isn’t underwater, and criminals don’t magically behave when you defund the police or hand them checks—though some liberal politicians have become crime victims because of their own dumb ideas. Life comes at you fast.

So here we are. Another year gone. Another round of liberal predictions that didn’t come true. Merry Christmas to everybody. Except you, Gavin Newsom. I hope Santa put poop in your stocking.
