President Donald Trump in his efforts to restore moral clarity to American view of the world has ended attacks on Judeo-Christian values, by telling a crowd of supporters that "we're saying merry Christmas again."
He revealed this while addressing a crowd at the Values Voter Summit, an annual socially conservative conference, in Washington, D.C. on Friday. He however said
that political correctness has gotten in the way of celebrating the Christmas/ end of the year holiday.
It would be recalled that debates over the "War On Christmas" have raged for years, with many on the right complaining that political correctness has made it less acceptable to say Merry Christmas.
Mr. Trump had in nine months into his presidency, made promises on the campaign trail, making speeches to adoring audiences like Friday's in Washington key to boosting the President's morale.
He said, "We are stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values," Trump said to applause, before slamming people who don't say "Merry Christmas."
"They don't use the word Christmas because it is not politically correct," Trump said, complaining that department stores will use red and Christmas decorations but say "Happy New Year." "We're saying Merry Christmas again."
“You go to department stores and they’ll say 'Happy New Year,' or they’ll say other things and it’ll be red, they’ll have it painted. But they don’t say — well guess what? We’re saying merry Christmas again.”
He however urged the Congress to allow tax reform as a "Christmas gift."
Critics believe Trump used halt against “war on Christmas” as a way to strengthen his support among evangelicals and Christian conservatives.
They believe he used the word as a political correctness to allow Christians expressing their religious beliefs. And to bring the point home, his campaign held a "thank you" rally in Wisconsin last December where he spoke in front of a row of large Christmas trees.
Trump has seized on these feelings, regularly telling primarily religious audiences that his presidency has made it acceptable to "start saying Merry Christmas again."
He affirmed that America is a nation of believers and together we are strengthened and sustained by the power of prayer.
