For years, conservatives have complained about a “War on Christmas” — but President Donald Trump finally won the war, according to his son and daughter-in-law.

Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro interviewed Eric Trump and his wife Lara in Trump Tower, which Pirro called the “New York White House.”

Pirro told the two they had “done wonderful things for the country” and said Trump had ended political correctness and people could say “Merry Christmas.”

“You can say Merry Christmas again,” Lara Trump said. “Isn’t that so nice, Jeanine?”

“It’s incredible,” Eric Trump said. “It is nice to say Merry Christmas again.”


Arghhhhhhhhhh!

[marble falls]

1. Eric, its going to be so nice when we can again say ...

"Hands behind your back, you're under arrest."

[smirkymonkey]

8. Yessss!

[Initech]

11. Also when we can say "President of the United States" again.

Without picturing the disgusting POS that currently occupies the White House.

[marble falls]

15. Without parenthsis or astrolix? I know its coming!

[Takket]

2. really?

Nothing like declaring victory in a war that never happened against an opponent that doesn't exist when no person or company has actually declared any sort of change in policy to make it any more or less tenable to say Merry Christmas.

I'd love for them to point to one example of something that has changed.

[Takket]

5. oh and one other thing........

if declaring victory in the "war on christmas" means I don't have to hear this stupid ass bullshit brought up every year for the rest of my life, then I am more than happy to let them have their victory, and if anyone ever brings it up again I'll just refer them to this video and say "NOPE! war is over and you won! Can't complain about this anymore!!!"

[Mariana]

25. You're going to hear this stupid ass bullshit

brought up every year for the rest of your life. So many Christians are just determined to feel persecuted, even if they have to make shit up to do it. Furthermore, if you object when they complain, they'll probably whine that you're persecuting them by doing that. Bet on it.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Exactly, nothing ever changed and it hasn't changed back either.

They manufacture a phony crisis and claim to solve said phony crisis claiming victory for Trump. It is so stupid and pathetic that only a Trumper could fall for it.

God, they are such raging IDIOTS!

[Garrett78]

3. I'm reminded yet again of the movie Idiocracy.

[ResistantAmerican17]

4. Three stooges (not talking about the baby)

Lara, Eric, Pirro. There isn’t full wit between them!!

[Kath2]

6. These people are so disgusting it makes me want to puke.

I'm glad they pat each other on the back. Everyone else of sane mind hates them.

[Initech]

7. Merry Christmas!!!

God these morons are so fucking petty!

[onecaliberal]

9. At my employment you not only can't say it, you can't display it or send anyone a card that says it.

[Kali]

12. good

company saving people from being being unintentionally offensive/ignorant. xtians are not the center of the universe.

[onecaliberal]

18. Exactly. No one is bothered by the policy.

[Mariana]

29. Or preventing them from being intentionally offensive/ignorant.

If you've never had to deal with a hateful Christian in a self-righteous rage, snarling "Merry CHRIST!!!mas!" at you because they were so offended to hear the word "holiday" in December, you're very fortunate. They aren't too common, these loons, but they surely do exist. I have relatives who brag about doing this. Good on that employer for preventing that kind of harassment in the workplace.

[Kali]

33. true

though those kinds of assholes are best dealt with on an individual basis

[mitch96]

13. Did they get the ok from Bill O ?

I mean he was the official poster boy for the war on christmas......

[MineralMan]

14. What a dumbass! I'm an atheist, but I've been wishing folks

a "Merry Christmas" all along, if they celebrate that holiday.

[malaise]

16. Yep they're saying it to the children locked up in his daddy's cages

and to the animals he slaughtered and display as trophies on his fucking walls.
Go flush yourself asshole and take your evil spawn and parent with you

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. Here's a video of Obama saying "Merry Christmas"

Trump could give a shit whether you say Merry Christmas or not. He knows this is a faux battle he can win. The religious Right doesn't just want people to say Merry Christmas; they want everyone to say it. They want every person to be forced to say it, actually. In their fearful world, anyone not a Christian is a threat, and the easiest way to identify non-believers is this simple test.

[Blue Owl]

19. oh FFS...

Utterly ridiculous... but then again, this is Gums we're dealing with here...

[dalton99a]

20. Fucking liars.

[badhair77]

21. I have reached my limit of ridiculousness with this family

and their followers. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. Someone lead me out.

[TeamPooka]

22. Happy Holidays!

[ismnotwasm]

23. My Starbucks cup says Merry Coffee

I’m just going with that

[nolabear]

24. I'm telling you, denying them victimhood will deflate them.

The more Democrats who are able to say “Merry Christmas! Peace on earth, good will to all people! What a lovely holiday!” the better.

Not instead of, but along with “Happy Hanukkah! Happy Solstice! Isn’t it wonderful that we have lights and food and charity and family to get us through these cold, dark days?”

[randr]

26. What the fuck do you call this-when you declare a problem exists that doesn't

and then declare that you solved it?

[muntrv]

27. Oh Trumpanzees!

https://m.

[kimbutgar]

28. I don't seem to remember anyone attacking me for saying merry Christmas in my liberal

San Francisco. This dumb ass talking point is so stupid that it makes my brain hurt from being assaulted by idiocy.

[Newest Reality]

30. To me...

That phony war translates, of course, into a xenophobic jab at the plurality and diversity of this country. So, if you could win a war that doesn't exist, basically they are celebrating discrimination and a lack of respect, that's all.

Hey, why not turn your chosen holiday into a battle ground because you pretend it is not okay to say WORDS that you think are the correct ones for he season, even though there are other religions and beliefs? You talk about a projection of bigotry and insecurity, and dare I say, hatred?

Now, after that being said, say: "Merry Christmas", or is that "Fuck Your Holiday"?

So, Lara and Eric, you won a delusion and a prejudice! Celebrate with all the money you have by questionable means in the Trump Tower of Infamy. I hear ol' Satan is getting envious and you make Santa nauseous.

Happy Holidays!!!!!
BTW: the etymology of the word, holidays reveals that it comes from holy days, (Old English haligdæg). So, what's the big deal here? Happy Holy Days?

[Docreed2003]

31. I guess this crap pays well with their brainwashed base

Because everyone with a functioning brain knows this is total BS

[ck4829]

38. You nailed it

[Mc Mike]

32. I confess I did just use that 'happy to be able to say merry christmas again' line,

in a Christmas card to one of my aunts.

[mzmolly]

34. It seems retailers have been ahead on this

issue for years.

[Scurrilous]

35. Dumbasses.
