Twitter Users Hurl The Holly After Trump Is Hailed For Bringing 'Christmas Back'


Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke saluted President Donald Trump on Wednesday night as “the man who brought Christmas back to America.”


That had Twitter users wondering: Just where did Christmas go?

Zinke’s introduction was actually recycled; he made a remarkably similar comment at last year’s tree-lighting ceremony, calling Trump “the man who brought ‘Merry Christmas!’ back to our nation’s capital.”

Neither Christmas nor “Merry Christmas” have ever left.

Yet it has been a talking point for Trump since early in the campaign and one he has mentioned repeatedly ― and often randomly, including in July ― even as president.

Here is some of the reaction to Trump being hailed for saving a holiday that was never in peril:

When it doesn't happen in reality, they just make up lies so they can pretend.

He says, "Ba humbug" instead. He is a sadist who loves to make people as miserable as possible and watch the results of his sick actions. He gets off on that stuff.

psychiatrists said he is a narcissistic, sadistic sociopath. I thought, "Now that you mention it...I definitely see it".

Someone should ask the vile MAGAcretin, his goons and his supporters why Jesus was born in that manger.

Too many corporations paying for GOPer shit, so, just like last year, I'll sit out this commercial "holiday".
