President-elect Donald Trump ended Thanksgiving with a controversial twist, sharing an AI-generated video that humorously targets President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other prominent Democrats. The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), reimagines a classic scene from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, replacing the faces of the original cast with those of Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The 36-second clip shows Biden presiding over a Thanksgiving dinner with fellow Democrats. As Biden begins carving the turkey, Trump dramatically appears like a genie, performing his signature YMCA dance. The humorous but politically charged video left the depicted Democrats visibly shocked in the AI-rendered scene.

The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 13,000 retweets. While many Trump supporters praised the video, calling him “the funniest President of all time,” others criticized the timing. One user commented, “Was this really necessary? It’s Thanksgiving. Be grateful and kind for ONCE.”
Earlier that day, Trump also shared a sharply worded Thanksgiving message on his Truth Social account, targeting “radical left lunatics.” He thanked supporters for what he described as a “landslide victory” for the MAGA agenda.
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed,” Trump wrote. He expressed confidence in America’s resurgence under his leadership, promising that the nation would soon be “respected, productive, fair, and strong.”
The video and Trump’s fiery Thanksgiving message fueled a wave of mixed reactions online. While supporters lauded Trump’s sense of humor and political defiance, critics accused him of politicizing a day meant for gratitude and unity.
As debates continue to swirl, one thing is clear—Trump’s penchant for blending politics with entertainment remains a hallmark of his communication strategy, keeping his supporters engaged and his critics vocal.
