No one ever said “Merry Christmas” was ever gone. We are saying that the last administration tried to suppress it in order to appear politically correct. That is what Trump is saying.
And I say unto you: use your brain. There are dozens of sources online to prove that what you say isn’t so. Again, antinimby....just because Fox News tells you it’s so, doesn’t make it true.

A political editor at AP News is a friend of mine. He writes many of the fact check articles for AP. AP works hard to get it right, unlike Trump and Trump news outlets. Trump has lied about this, as has Fox News and other conservative news outlets.

It’s beyond me why people will swallow these news stories whole. I always research stories, ferreting out many points of view. I am not a liberal, I am not a conservative....I’m an independent, a moderate. I don’t trust any source to tell me what’s true. I go to the effort to determine it for myself. Not always easy and I’m never 100% convinced.

LOL. The last time I checked, it is the Left that is protesting and rioting in the streets because they did not get their way and doing everything possible to subvert and overthrow a duly elected president just because he is from a different party/point of view.

Your “anti-self-righteous twits” describes your Left perfectly.
Thank you, Dear Leader Trump, for making it legal for persecuted Christians to emerge from our hiding places and, finally, utter those once-forbidden words again! Glory!

Talking Have you ever seen a President have a better Christmas than President Donald John Trump?

Well, it's true that in all of US history, only 44 others have had a better first year.

Now, what's the call?

All other Christmas's were better. We at least didn't have a delusional freak in the WH.

I'm being kind to ISIS when I say they are running scared. They control less than 5% of Syria.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for any of them - I just hate every single one of them for the damage they're causing to the planet I live on and the people with whom I share it.

Trump is rich and successful, of course those that are neither will be filled with envy and jealousy, no surprise here.

President Trump kicked off his holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago Friday night at a dinner where he told friends, "You all just got a lot richer," referencing the sweeping tax overhaul he signed into law hours earlier. Mr. Trump directed those comments to friends dining nearby at the exclusive club -- including to two friends at a table near the president's who described the remark to CBS News-- as he began his final days of his first year in office in what has become known as the "Winter White House."

The president has spent many weekends of his presidency so far at the "Winter White House," where initiation fees cost $200,000, annual dues cost $14,000, and some of the most affluent members of society have the opportunity to interact with the president in a setting while many Americans cannot. This weekend, the president arrived after signing the most consequential legislation, and arguably, the greatest achievement, of his presidency thus far.
Merry Christmas. The wealth gap widens even more. Congrats, GOP, congrats.. Way to bilk America.

LOL

that's because Obama had enough sense to know he was president of the entire nation, unlike tRump, who is only president of his base.
