In a speech before the Values Voter Summit, President Trump told the audience we're saying Merry Christmas again. He also told the crowd, we don't use the word Christmas any more. The trumpet man lives in his own corrupt world and surely was describing his own lack of the Christmas spirit during the holidays.
Using the word Christmas and wishing family, friends and others Merry Christmas has never gone out of style during the holiday season but Trump would not know about that. And in fact is a practice tradition in keeping Christ in CHRISTmas. We were taught that so long ago. What has taken place with the right wing conservatives, Fox News, many conservative organizations and Trump is their attempt to divide the country with the lie, "we don't say Merry Christmas any more." That is what the trumpet man tried to do with his remarks to the so called Values Voter Summit (which is an anti LGBT organization according to an article in the Huffington Post) who trys to push their corrupt values on other people.
The trumpet man will say anything to play to his base. That is all he has left. He and his crowd that preach values do so because they have something to hide. And yes, they are the same crowd who supported taking health care away from millions of those now insured by the ACA and were willing to lie in the process.
The conservative right and those that use the word "values" in the name of their organizations dislike the separation of church and state and the wisdom of our fore fathers. They use religion to divide like those in the middle east and would like to see a United States of the middle east. This writer thinks our fore fathers knew what they were doing and had the wisdom to understand everyone has a right to worship and not be harassed by others who would like to force their religious beliefs on society.
Donald Trump makes a mockery of what the spirit of Christmas stands for and the happiness and joy it brings to so many families, children and those in every walk of life. It is a day of giving, sharing and love which has escaped the trumpet man. But he did give himself the permission to say Merry Christmas again. So join in what the American people do best and have always done Mr. President. You may enjoy it.
