President-elect Donald Trump wants everyone to ditch the politically correct phrase “Happy Holidays,” and go back to saying “Merry Christmas.”

In September of this year, the billionaire real estate tycoon addressed the issue during a campaign speech and insisted that in the event that he won the presidency; he would be telling people “Merry Christmas.”

“The word Christmas,” Trump said at the Values Voter Summit. “I love Christmas. I love Christmas. You go to stores, you don’t see the word Christmas. It says happy holidays all over. I say, ‘Where’s Christmas?’ I tell my wife, ‘Don’t go to those stores.’”

“I want to see Christmas. I want to see Christmas,” Trump said. “Other people can have their holidays but Christmas is Christmas. I want to see Merry Christmas. Remember the expression Merry Christmas? You don’t see it anymore! You’re going to see it if I get elected, I can tell you right now.”

According to Daily Caller, Donald Trump told Yellowhammer Radio that he makes a point of using the word “Christmas.”

“There’s an assault on anything having to [do] with Christianity,” he said. “They don’t want to use the word ‘Christmas’ anymore at department stores. There’s always lawsuits and unfortunately a lot of those lawsuits are won by the other side.”

Donald Trump has clearly felt this way for years. Back in 2013, the former Apprentice star tweeted: “Merry Christmas, have an amazing day!”

Taking on the war with the word “Christmas” is just one of the many battles that Donald Trump has chosen to pursue in his days as President of the United States.

In his first 100 days in office, President-elect Trump plans to:

  • Withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he was extremely outspoken about in his campaign
  • Eliminate “job-killing restrictions” on clean coal and shale energy
  • Reduce government and corporate regulations
  • Develop a comprehensive plan to secure America’s infrastructure from cyber attacks and all attacks in general
  • Investigate all abuses of the Visa programs
  • Impose a five-year ban on lobbying

Do you prefer people say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays?”
