Trump: I'm proud to have led the charge on 'Merry Christmas'

Trump on Sunday touted that people are saying "Merry Christmas again," asserting that he stood up to an "assault" on Christmas hours before the holiday.

"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," Trump tweeted on Christmas Eve.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!"




Earlier Sunday, during a video conference with soldiers overseas, Trump wished U.S. troops a “very, very merry Christmas,” adding that the country is saying “merry Christmas, again, very, very proudly.”

Trump has long seized on the "war on Christmas" to rally support among evangelicals and Christian conservatives. Months before the holiday season this year, the president renewed his claim that he was bringing back the greeting.

“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," Trump told a crowd attending the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., in October.

and the music and the fact that I just came back from visiting my family and for some reason we gave each other presents that were wrapped up in colorful paper, and there are all these ceremonies going on all over town in these buildings called "churches." I thought all of this stuff had been suppressed and driven underground by evil liberals. Yet there it was!

I'm surprised he didn't announce he did more for Xmas than Jesus himself.

I have a lot of fond memories of Christmas. I also have a lot of good friends who celebrate other holidays. We're all repulsed by this mess.

He did lead a victorious charge against this vicious assault on Christmas after all.
