Saving Christmas?
Trump also talked about his role in making Christmas a merry time. He said “people are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!,” Trump tweeted.
In October Trump had said he would make this time of the year merry again as well. So this was nothing new.
He said “we’re getting near that beautiful Christmas season that people don’t talk about anymore. They don’t use the word Christmas because it’s not politically correct.”
“You go to department stores and they’ll say ‘Happy New Year,’ or they’ll say other things and it’ll be red, they’ll have it painted. But they don’t say – well guess what? We’re saying merry Christmas again,” he added.
Many believed this was all part of the evangelical’s agenda. Trump had promised evangelicals he would give them a voice if they voted for him. It certainly looked as if that promise was being kept.
