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.

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.

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.

He can't stand being exposed an unloved loser.
