President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up for what promises to be the jolliest Christmas in recent memory, while Democrats are likely to remain as cheerful as a cat in a bathtub. This stark juxtaposition was on full display when Trump dropped a parody video over the Thanksgiving holiday, thrusting Democrat heavyweights into the spotlight of a beloved comedy classic: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”
In a clever twist, Trump transformed the iconic turkey carving scene into a hilarious roast of prominent Democratic figures, posting it on Truth Social for all to see. The video features President Biden stepping into the shoes of Clark Griswold, delivering a line that, when taken in context, feels like a direct jab at his own party’s failures. As he prepares to carve the turkey—a symbol of feasting and good cheer in the holiday season—viewers find themselves laughing at the absurdity of it all, particularly given Biden’s track record.

Gathered around the table in Trump’s comedic retake are several high-profile Democrats, including the soon-to-be former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Vice President Kamala Harris. Instead of yielding the usual wholesome family moment, this version shows a turkey filled with unexpected surprises—no doubt a nod to the political drama that often takes center stage. Trump’s knack for humor amid chaos shines bright, proving that he can still find ways to entertain while pointing out the absurdities of his opponents.
The video doesn’t skimp on detail, showcasing moments like Schiff—who has been mocked by Trump as “little pencil neck”—demanding that Biden “save the neck for me,” a truly comedic touch that captures Schiff’s essence. Meanwhile, Kamala’s unmistakable laughter enhances the hilarity of the moment, embodying the Democrat’s inability to take themselves seriously even within a parody. In many ways, Trump’s portrayal serves as a commentary on not just the characters themselves, but the political drama they consistently peddle.
Amid the comedic spectacle, Pelosi is seen indulging in wine, and Squad members like Ilhan Omar and AOC add to the colorful caricature—illustrating the colorful cast of characters opposing traditional American values. One can almost hear the collective groan of the left as they watch what they consider a mockery of political decorum. Yet, this is what makes Trump’s artistry so unique; he finds humor in the very absurdity that Democrats frequently try to pass off as wisdom.
In addition to the laughter created by the video, Trump also took a moment to deliver a Thanksgiving message that was, unsurprisingly, full of classical Trump bravado. He called out the “Radical Left Lunatics,” assuring the nation that their failed policies will not tarnish the bright future he envisions. As Americans reflect on the holiday spirit, it’s clear that many are thankful for a leader who knows how to both entertain and advocate for a strong America.
It’s safe to say that while Trump continues to whip up laughter (and maybe a little jealousy) among the Left, he’s also reminding everyone that humor and politics can coexist in a delightfully entertaining way. As the season of goodwill approaches, one can only hope that the more delicate members of the media take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of their own positions, perhaps even during a festive family gathering.
