Since Charles Dickens was instrumental in the beginning of social safety nets

I hereby declare this Christmas Day as Ebeneezer Trump Day. Since he advocates for the rich and ridicules the poor, this is a perfect tribute for him. He is instrumental in completing our march back to the day of debtor's prisons and work houses. Maybe our children will be lucky enough to get a few crumbs from him and his 1% crony friends. He and his boyfriend Paul Ryan will next attack social security, medicare, medicaid and every other welfare program. With the support of pigs like Mitch McConnell, he'll ram more irresponsible legislation through congress until they have everything and everyone has nothing. With the propaganda from pigs like Mush Limbaugh, the idiocracy will continue to vote for these really awful people. Oh happy day! Unfortunately, a visit from a few ghosts won't change the trajectory we have been forced to follow - it's too late to take it all back.

Anyone want to offer suggestions on what his chain will be composed of; that is, the one he will drag through eternity?
