The DIVIDER-IN-CHIEF
Trump, nine months into his presidency, has found it harder to get things done than the ease with which he made promises on the campaign trail, making speeches to adoring audiences like Friday's in Washington key to boosting the President's morale. And the audience at the Values Voter Summit, an annual socially conservative conference, didn't fail to deliver.
"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."

(6,072 posts)I'm in a very mixed area and almost everyone says, "Have a nice holiday" or some variation. I'm thinking a "Merry Christmas" when they don't know what holiday I celebrate is a gnat's whisker away from "eff you."

I've had that job and did it for years, so I do understand they are ordered to say shit by the management. They're probably uncomfortable no matter what they're told they have to say, because they know someone is going to be unhappy about it.

(17,984 posts)There is nothing Judeo or Christian about Dotard. There is nothing Judeo or Christian about his evangelical followers. Dotard is an adulterer according to the gospels, and he has been one for his entire adult life. He and his followers are hypocrites of the worst kind.
I think I'll just start responding to "Merry Christmas" with a "Merry Fuck You".

(22,976 posts)A man without honor, a liar, cheat, back-stabber, agreement-breaker, involved with some of the planets worst political criminals; the inappropriate, sexually charged photos and comments about his first daughter; the moral vacuum that is his son-in-law; the mysterious, soft-core eastern wife whos attached to the youngest, Damian-like child.
All opposition seem silent and powerless around him. No one really applies the brakes. He flirts with the idea of military parades and increasing the nuclear arsenal. He knows nothing, but is belligerent and blind and foolish. He brings out the worst in people, and pits them against one another. He is devoid of a conscience and empathy.
And those so-called Christians who declare themselves to be closest to God, and are thus one-up on everybody, are absolutely blind to these aspects of the man, to the extent they believe him to be sent by God to save the white Christian nation from whichever POC is are most bothersome this week.
#45 actually missed his calling by not coming of age in Germany in the 1920s-30s. Hed have made a crackerjack top-echelon Nazi.

Everything about #45 is vulgar and gag-worthy; any truly sentient being standing near him would recoil from all the negative death-vibes coming off that hostile orange space alien. If everything were made public, Id bet good money that hes as much of a monster as Harvey Weinstein, or worse, which is saying something.

Someone in the news media needs to ask Donald Trump to list the Judeo-Christian values he is talking about. Someone should also ask him to list the Ten Commandants. I am skeptical that Trump knows, or cares about any Judeo-Christian values.
I do not always understand why Evangelicals support Donald Trump. If it is true that he complained about stores using red and Christmas decorations, but saying Happy New Year, he is a fool. What in the world does red actually have to do with Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. In addition, why would a store not say "Happy New Year" on New Year's Eve, or New Year's day? Why would anyone say Merry Christmas on New Year's Eve, or New Year's day?
