President Trump's New Year's Eve Message: "Cheaters and Thieves" and National Guard Withdrawal
US President Donald Trump continued his tradition of bashing his political adversaries as the year drew to a close. On Truth Social, he penned a scathing message targeting Democrats, labeling them "cheaters and thieves" who are unwilling to consider voter identification measures.
Trump's accusations came just hours after praising Tina Peters, a former Mesa County clerk who was sentenced to nine years in prison for allegedly allowing unauthorized individuals access to the local election system. Trump expressed sympathy for Peters, describing her as a victim of voter fraud, while issuing a stark warning to state officials and law enforcement agencies: "May they rot in Hell."
The president also announced that he plans to withdraw National Guard troops from Democrat-led cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. This decision comes despite the fact that crime rates have reportedly decreased significantly since the deployment of the troops. Trump stated that the Federal Government's involvement has been crucial in keeping these cities safe, suggesting that their presence will be necessary again when crime begins to rise.
Trump's statements on New Year's Eve suggest that he remains unyielding in his criticism of Democratic leadership and policies. His actions and rhetoric have sparked controversy and debate once again, leaving many to wonder what 2026 may bring for the US under his presidency.
