President Donald Trump decided the best way to celebrate his impeachment was to hold a "Merry Christmas" MAGA rally in Battle Creek, Michigan on December 18.

Then four days later, Trump spoke to the conservative student group Turning Point USA in West Palm Beach, Florida near where Mar-a-Lago is located.

So what did a man more people would associate with Ebenezer Scrooge than Santa Claus given his history with charity have to say about Christmas?

Trump repeated the now annual lie that he resurrected the term Merry Christmas from the ashes where the administration of President Barack Obama allegedly left it.

During his speech at the Turning Point gathering, Trump stated:

"You remember they were trying to take Christmas out of Christmas? They didn't want to let you say 'Merry Christmas'."
"They didn't want to let you say 'Merry Christmas.' You'd go around, you'd see department stores they'd have everything red, snow, beautiful, ribbons, bows. Everything was there but they wouldn't say 'Merry Christmas'."
"They're all saying 'Merry Christmas' again. That's the least I could do."

The President has repeated the same lie annually to the point it has become it's own holiday tradition.

It gets no less ridiculous the more often it is told however.










Back in 2018 after signing another religious initiative to preserve the freedom of the Christian religion, Trump stated:

"One nation under God. So important. And we say it. A lot of people, you know, they don't say it. But you know what?"
"They're starting to say it more, just like we're starting to say 'Merry Christmas' when that day comes around."
"You notice a big difference between now and two or three years ago? It was going in the other direction rapidly. Now it's straight up."

Oops.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

When Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor in June, Republicans and some old school Democrats were positively apoplectic.

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

People Who Quit Their Jobs On Day One Reveal What Made Them Say 'Nope, Not Doing This'

Every now and then, simply because we need money, we might take a job that doesn't fulfill us in any way, but at least keeps our bank accounts happy.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
