President Trump loves fighting the culture war.
If there’s anything that really makes him feel good about himself and, in turn, reinvigorates his base, it’s fighting against political correctness.
With that being said, the commander-in-chief would like you all to know that during this holiday season, he saved Christmas.
People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I’m so glad that President Trump is around to let me, an American Muslim, start saying “Merry Christmas” to my Catholic grandparents again without fear of being arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay. Under former President Barack Obama, these things were simply not possible.
Some sacrifices of President Trump go completely unnoticed by the mainstream media. But, for me, his fight (or struggle) against the forces of evil trying to ban the day in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth will forever be his greatest. If you were to ask me how he did it, I would simply respond with “MAGA!” Just his sheer, unfiltered presence in the White House is enough.
Now, I can spend an extra few seconds stumbling over my words of saying “Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year” after initially attempting to say “Happy Holidays.”
Trump gave Christians hope by putting the Christ back in Christmas, just like Obama gave Muslims hope by putting the Bara(c)k back in “Eid Mubarak!”
Sure, he has been accused by almost two dozen women of sexual misconduct (in addition to endorsing Roy Moore in the Alabama special election), emboldened white nationalists and supremacists, and embarrassed the United States around the world by getting into petty Twitter fights. None of that matters when you now have the power to say two words that you couldn’t say for eight years under Barack Obama.
So, from my family to yours, Mr. President, Merry Christmas!
