It's Christmas in Trump land. Donald
is holding the government hostage as nine federal departments are
shut down, with no resolution in sight. He's angered Republicans by
pulling out military forces from Syria and Afghanistan – a move
that’s already resulted in protest resignations from the defense
secretary and a top diplomat leading the global anti-ISIS coalition.
The stock market is tumbling, and Trump has asked around about firing
the Federal Reserve chairman.
Meanwhile, the Russia investigation is
continuing to steamroll Trump’s associates while other recent
high-profile departures occur almost every day within the
administration.
With all the turmoil and strife, Donald
decided to stay in Washington for Christmas and tweet the holidays
away. Let's see what the fearless leader, who vowed to bring back
“Merry Christmas,” has to say …
“I am all alone (poor me) in the
White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on
desperately needed Border Security.”
"It's a disgrace, what's happening
in our country.”
“I hope everyone, even the Fake News
Media, is having a great Christmas!”
"I can't tell you when the
government is going to be open. I can tell you it's not going to be
open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they would like to call
it."
"Everybody hated Comey, they
thought he did a horrible job. The Democrats hated him. They were
calling for his resignation. They were calling for his firing.”
"We're, right now, the policemen
of the world and we're paying for it. And we can be the policemen of
the world, but other countries have to help us."
"But other than that," he
said, his hands gesturing outward, "I wish everybody a very
merry Christmas."
In a wonderful Christmas gesture, Trump
spoke to children whose calls had been patched through by NORAD to
the White House. Trump asked a 7-year-old named Collman Lloyd whether
the child still believes in Santa Claus."Are you still a
believer in Santa? Because at 7, it's marginal, right?" Trump
asked Collman.
Breaking a recent tradition of both of
his predecessors, Trump this year did not visit with troops or
wounded service members at Christmas time. Perhaps he was just “too
busy” to go again. (Last month, he became the target of scrutiny
for ditching a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day,
later explaining to Fox News that he was “too busy” to go.)
And, as always: “No collusion.”
So there you have it. The holidays are
so much “merrier” with these kind words and actions from our
benevolent leader. He's really done it – Trump's brought back
Christmas to true believers. After all, none other than Jerry Falwell
Jr. referred to Trump as "one of the greatest visionaries of our
time."
He added, "In my opinion, Mr.
Trump lives a life of loving and helping others as Jesus taught in
the New Testament."
And, televangelist Jim Bakker
said,“Every demon in hell is after Donald Trump.” But, Trump
stood up against the godless liberals and defeated the secular
progressives. The great White Nationalist Knight has beaten back the
assault on Christmas to the delight of the MAGA masses. If you’re
Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu, your happy holiday has been banished to the
back of the bus.
And, hey, little 7-year-old Collman
Lloyd, don't worry too much about President Trump talking about
“marginal.” You see, he is big believer in marginalization –
“treatment of persons or groups as insignificant while
relegating them to the fringes of society.” It's a very old belief
that many dedicated white Evangelicals have practiced for centuries.
They have kept up the difficult fight against issues like racial
equality, gender identity, and women's rights while using the
scriptures to debase and abandon some of the most vulnerable
“children of God.” It's complicated, Collman. Someday soon you
will understand and be asked to support his strong nativism,
xenophobia, racism, and intolerance. You are white, aren't you?
To close, here is the official White
House Christmas portrait … Deck the halls with lots of big red
balls. Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la). "No collusion."
