He captioned one of his Instagram posts: “Merry Christmas everyone. From my family to yours we wish you a blessed day. #Christmas #santa ”.

However, Melania appeared in a video with her 74-year-old husband where they praised frontline workers and Covid scientists for their "miracle" vaccines.
In the three-minute clip posted on Christmas Eve, the couple gave one of their last public messages together while in the White House before Trump was forced to leave in January.
Melania said: “The President and I want to wish all Americans a very Merry Christmas.
“We are fighting a global pandemic that has affected us all. However, through this great challenge, we have been inspired by the goodness and courage of the citizens of this country.
“Teachers have worked extraordinarily hard to keep our children learning, students have delivered groceries to older neighbors,
“The brave first responders, doctors and nurses have given everything to save lives. Brilliant scientists have developed treatments and vaccines. "
Trump continued to brag that the United States is "delivering millions of doses of a safe and effective vaccine that will soon end this terrible pandemic and save millions and millions of lives."
"We are grateful to all the scientists, researchers, manufacturing workers and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible," he added.
"It is truly a Christmas miracle."
Melania also thanked “the brave and selfless Americans who keep us safe. We are eternally grateful for the men and women of law enforcement and the heroes of the United States Army. "
She added: "On behalf of Melania and the entire Trump family, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year."
The Trumps are spending their last Christmas at the White House at their Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, before they have to leave, so Joe Biden can move in on January 20.
