Social media loses it over hilarious fake Trump family Christmas card
You can tell a lot about a person’s character by what people are willing to believe about them. In the case of Donald J. Trump, there is very little he can say or do at this point that would come as genuinely surprising. While assuming the absolute worst about him is often the wisest course of action, it also leaves us susceptible to misinformation and fake stories. A potent reminder of this fact hit Twitter today when a fake Christmas card purportedly released by Trump went viral on the social media website today.
The card includes all of Trump’s family members except for Barron, prompting those who thought it was real to assume that the former president either intentionally excluded him or that Barron refused to take part. Given Trump’s at best chilly demeanor towards his children, both explanations seemed plausible.
Even more notable than the lack of Barron was the peculiar image at the center of the card. Rendered in black and white, Trump is standing with a shooting star curving up and out of his head in a way that was very, very suggestive of a certain part of male anatomy…
Add your name to demand Trump be forced to testify for January 6th committee!!
The tweet responses to the image, even those who thought it was real, are well worth a look. Clearly, Twitter users don’t hold the disgraced former president in very high esteem.
I don’t care about Barron’s missing on Trump’s penis Christmas card, as long as he grows up happy, and gay, and marries a beautiful Mexican man.

Plenty of blue tick accounts are currently spreading a fake "Donald Trump Christmas card" (left), which is so obviously made up. The real one (right) is available to purchase on the former president's website. pic.twitter.com/TToXx93rOE

If the funny trump Christmas card is fake, I'm hoping the creator will step forward and take a bow. Isf fake, it's amazing how many of us believed it to be true. If real, well yes. Priceless.

Whoever designed this Christmas card for Donald Trump must really hate him. I guess someone told Barron that Donny is not his father. We already know that #TrumpIsALaughingStock because he is a BIG DICK! #MerryChristmas2021 pic.twitter.com/qInRugYRAN

Trump's new Christmas card explains his insanity.
There were reindeer scrambling his brain. It appears they have just escaped. pic.twitter.com/jV4kem9eF0

Trumps Christmas card is a beauty. I always wondered how Santa and his reindeer were conceived. pic.twitter.com/CGcqK1kWdM
