Trump Tells Huckabee He Saved ‘Merry Christmas’ From Woke Forces Seeking to Have America’s Founding Fathers ‘Obliterated’

Former President Donald Trump made the Christmas spirit shine in Mike Huckabee by regaling him with tales of how he saved the holiday (I guess) from the woke Left.

Huckabee spoke to Trump for his “Christmas in America” Newsmax special, and he hailed the ex-president for reviving the glory of the holiday.

“When you came into office, America had gone through a long period where people quit saying ‘Merry Christmas.’ It was all ‘Happy Holidays.’ You deliberately changed that!” Huckabee said.

Trump boasted that it was “part of my campaign,” and he riffed on how “embarrassing” it was for chain stores to “use red and use whites and snow, but they wouldn’t say Christmas.”

Since his entrance onto the political scene, Trump has been at the forefront of the supposed “War on Christmas,” frequently bragging (even well outside of the holiday season) that he revived the saying of “Merry Christmas”. He took credit for the return of “Merry Christmas” in his interview with Huckabee, and also suggested shoppers cancel stores that don’t say “Merry Christmas”:

This was in 2015 when I started campaigning. I said you’re going to say ‘Merry Christmas’ again, and now people are saying it. Of course, they’re not saying a lot of other things like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson. You know, those names are being obliterated because of craziness. But they are saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again. That was a big part of what I was doing, and I would say it all the time during that period, that we want them to say ‘Merry Christmas.’ Don’t shop at stores that don’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ and I’ll tell you, we brought it back very quickly.

This went on with more of Trump’s jabs at the “crazy people” who seek to “stop” the holiday.
