White House Santa’s Naughty List Video Sparks Viral Backlash

The White House has released an unusual holiday-themed video featuring former President Donald Trump. The video, which has gone viral, shows Trump reading a “naughty list” of undocumented immigrants. It has sparked intense mockery and criticism online. Many social media users immediately referenced the recently released Jeffrey Epstein client list.

The official White House account posted the video on December 23. It quickly surpassed 1.1 million views. The clip is titled “Lo-fi Criminal Illegal Alien Naughty List.”

In the video, Trump’s silhouette is seen seated by a fireplace. Ambient music plays as he reads from a long scroll. Names of individuals allegedly involved in serious crimes are listed.

These crimes include human trafficking and murder. The administration’s caption took a harsh tone. It read, “BREAKING: Santa’s Naughty List – the WORST of the worst.”

The caption concluded with, “No coal. Just deportation.” According to Reuters, the video is part of a broader immigration messaging push. It aligns with the administration’s stated policy priorities.

Another post promoted a “self-deport” program. It mirrored the style of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” That offer includes financial incentives for voluntary departure.

Online Mockery and Epstein List Comparisons

Public reaction to the video was swift and largely negative. Many commentators called the video “unhinged.” Others mocked its production quality and concept.

A primary theme in the backlash involved the Epstein files. Those court documents were unsealed earlier in the year. Thousands of social media responses demanded a different list.

“Now do the epstein list,” one user wrote. This was a common sentiment across platforms. Another user directly challenged Trump, referencing the documents.

“I heard you’re on Epstein’s naughty list,” the comment stated. Many believed the video damaged the nation’s dignity. One critic said it destroyed 249 years of reputation.

Some credited White House interns for the video’s creation. “White House interns are having the time of their lives,” a post joked. The sheer disbelief was also a recurring reaction.

Multiple users questioned the video’s authenticity. Comments like “this cant be real” were frequent. The strategy appears to have significantly backfired in the court of public opinion.

The White House’s “Santa’s Naughty List” video has ignited a fierce political and cultural firestorm. It highlights the deeply polarized debate over immigration in the United States. The viral backlash ensures this unusual holiday message will be debated for some time.
