Trump Declares War On 'The War On Christmas'

In this Majority Report clip, Sam Seder tell you how IT has begun! The War On Christmas is BACK!

"The Halloween decorations are just going up and Thanksgiving is more than a month away. But President Trump is getting an early jump on Christmas -- the Christmas culture war, that is.

"We're getting near that beautiful Christmas season that people don't talk about anymore," he told an enthusiastic crowd of Christian conservatives on Friday. "They don't use the word 'Christmas' because it's not politically correct."

"Well, guess what?" he continued. "We’re saying Merry Christmas again!”

The line predictably got a standing ovation from the hundreds of people at the annual Values Voter Summit -- as did red-meat remarks for the flag, God and Israel. The "war on Christmas" theme has proven politically potent for years on the right, stocked by conservative media including Trump's favorite, Fox News. With polls suggesting some core supporters have cooled on him, Trump lately has seemed eager to stoke the culture wars.

His October wish for a Merry Christmas wasn't even his first such utterance this year. In July he also raised the specter of a war on Christmas, at a controversial speech to a national Boy Scouts jamboree in West Virginia.

Trump segued on Friday to talk of his emerging tax plan, saying his "massive tax cuts" would be a welcome "gift" for the holidays -- er, Christmas."

So much big government under Obama. Now where are the department store clerks around here? We need to find them so that president Trump can force them to say "Merry Christmas". But first we've got to stop the football players from choosing whether to kneel or stand. Freedom!

Really war on Christmas.I didn't know people stopped buying gifts.Happy Holidays

[THX]

The first authority figure who ever told me to use the phrase "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" instead of Merry Christmas wasn't a grade school or high school teacher or even college professor, it was my boss when I was working at May Department Store back in the late 1980's. The reason - so that we wouldn't offend potential customers. So I strongly suspect that's where the whole "War On Christmas" originated - not from liberals and leftists, but the business class. The right simply took this cultural shift that was started by the business class and blamed the left for it's occurrence because it fit their narrative.

Christmas is nothing but the "Joy of Retail Sales" .

The War on the War on Christmas starts before Halloween, makes me sad.

[monicaheisz]

Happy Festivus! Let the Airing of the Grievances begin!

[alexpkeaton]

Trump Org always uses (and probably still will use) "Seasons Greetings".

p.s.
All Americans are getting coal for Christmas because Trump will win the war on coal too! Twofer!!!
So much winning.

[johnmont]

I will believe there is a war on Christmas when there are casualties!

How do feel about "Chrismahanukwanzakah?"

[blasphimus]

Can you imagine how the conservatives would feel if Trump told them that he's going to use the government to approve all holiday speech in businesses and those that don't use government approved language are to be jailed? All that delicious free speech.

[Bae_Cop]

How would he change the marketing campaigns for private business... They're still going to use the verbiage they think is best.

[JaneyJJJ]

My very Catholic Aunt prefers Happy Christmas due to the alcohol consumption inferred by 'Merry' ... Australia but,

[eyeskillingyou]

The "war" on Christmas are like annual plants. You think they're dead until they come back next year.

[ekitkatjj]

If you're black, tell them Hail Satan. If you're white, tell them Happy Kwanzaa. If you're Jewish, tell them Feliz Cumpleaños... Confusion before the one- two punch...

[ekitkatjj]

It... Is...So..On... May the best SECULAR PROGRESSIVES CRUSH IT! "Hail Saten" (Sorry Sam, Jamie nailed phase one.)

[aaronmarshall]

Oh no, not this “war” on “Christmas” shit again (Sigh)
