Lonely Trump, 79, Endures Awkward Christmas Eve Dinner

Donald Trump might be president, but even he has to endure holiday dinners with his in-laws.

Trump, 79, spent Christmas Eve at his Mar-a-Lago estate alongside family members including First Lady Melania Trump, 55, and her father, Viktor Knavs—who is just two years the president’s senior.

The trio was seated together at an extravagant Christmas Eve dinner Wednesday night at the Palm Beach resort, which Forbes valued at $325 million in 2023. In video footage circulating online from the event, Knavs, 81, appears animated as he chats with his daughter, who leans in closely to hear him.

Trump, meanwhile, stares straight ahead, seemingly frozen out of the conversation. He sits glumly scanning the room before he notices the camera is on him, prompting a stiff, performative fist shake.

If you weren't such an asshole Donny, you wouldn't be so lonely.

“I only make appearances when I have to, Father. Plus, his brain is oatmeal now.”
“He’s going downhill so fast! Why do so many in this country still worship him?”
“ I am told his approvals are way down, Father. He’s desperate to burn everything down before he, well, you know…”
“You know you can always escape to Slovenia when it happens. I will come with you. Bring Barron, too.”
“Absolutely, Father. We don’t want to live in this shit hole country forever.”

Why does it have to be public knowledge? Why not just family? Who are all of the other hangers on in the background? Mar A Lago is where you want to be on Christmas Eve?

Why does there need to be cameras there? It's all so superficial.

He is horrible, but if society behaved like good, decent people he would be a nobody.

I hate them all, him and his MAGA asshats.

His robotic ass kissing Cabinet to kiss his ass, with wide open mouths. Melania’s mouth goes nowhere near that ass. She can not squint tight enough to not see that mass Ham.

It's not like the Secret Service is going to let a Mar-a-Lago rando approach him.

He just has it there so he can feel like an extra special big boy.

Continuously agreed with, patted and stroked, waited on.

Most of us would feel miserable with all of that. It would drive us crazy. He, on the other hand, knows no different. His miserable life, to us, is probably never even thought of unless he does not get what he expects.

Can you imagine a life where there is never anything good that just pops into your life? Never anything to really work at , just a bunch of OKs.

On and on forever a life of really just being there and pretending to be the one who did anything, ANYTHING.

I hope he is every bit as miserable as I think that would be. Even more if possible.

No effort, no creative (or any) thought. He just sits there and does what he is told, he long ago cemented in the kind of people he needed. I wonder if that is partly the reason for all the gold puke he puts up. His one true thing. He is as dull as anyone could be. Not creative or interested or even able to walk very far.

Poor guy, I hope he drops real soon.

Why do the Trumps make every occasion formal and stuffy? We always had Xmas eve dinner in casual clothes and them ripped into our presents afterwords.

I’d like to see an unedited video of Trump in a remote, unheated, Christmas-time Northeast cabin. Just a pile of logs, a splitting maul, one match. No gold, no servants, no fan club, no Happy Meals.
