For almost as long as he’s been wearing that red hat, President Donald Trump has been promising his evangelical base that he would singlehandedly restore the words “Merry Christmas” to America.
“They don’t use the word ‘Christmas’ because it’s not politically correct. You go to department stores, and they’ll say, ‘Happy New Year’ and they’ll say other things. And it will be red, they’ll have it painted, but they don’t say it. Well, guess what? We’re saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again.
“They,” of course, refers to liberals who Trump’s evangelical supporters believe are imposing political correctness on everyone else.
