Trump tweets that people are 'saying Merry Christmas again,' credits himself

President Trump says he’s pleased that people are “saying Merry Christmas again.”



I know I never thought of saying "Merry Christmas" until I heard Donald Trump use the phrase.
Then I thought,
wow, that's kind of neat;
so I started using it.

When did people stop saying it? All I've been hearing for the past week or so was "Merry Christmas," so this must be a different "Merry Christmas." Has everyone been pronouncing it wrong, or what?

Me neither.

To the people who are traumatized when someone wishes you "Happy Holidays," my wish for you is that's the worst thing you experience in your entire life.

hanging out in Heaven, comparing persecution stories. After the older ones take turns telling about stuff like being eaten by lions, or burned at the stake, or sent to concentration camps, it's time for the recently departed American to relate her experience.

"It was really hard for Christians, where I come from. I mean, people kept saying Happy Holidays! In December! It was awful!"

I have wintered in the Dominican Republic and for the last 17 years every winter at this time people tell me "Merry Christmas." Trump lives in a world of his own.

The War on Christmas is a Fox News lie.

Hell, Trump probably thinks he invented the phrase "Merry Christmas".
