WATCH: Trump Tells Supporters at Victory Rally ‘We Are Going to Say Merry Christmas Again!’
And, ‘We’re Going to Build the Wall’
At a victory rally in Wisconsin Wednesday night President-elect Donald Trump told a crowd of cheering supporters, “we are going to say Merry Christmas again!”Â
“So when I started 18 months ago, I told my first crowd in Wisconsin that we’re going to come back here someday, and we are going to say ‘Merry Christmas’ again,†Trump told supporters.
“Merry Christmas — so, Merry Christmas everyone. Happy New Year, but Merry Christmas,” Trump continued.
He followed that by promising “we’re going to build the wall.”
Far right wing Tea Party Republican and former one term Congressman Joe Walsh offered this response via Twitter:

Damn straight. Merry Christmas, anti-Christian Liberals!

Its awesome Trump delivered a speech last night behind a “Merry Christmas” sign.
No other politician in today’s PC world would ever do that

President Barack Obama has held a huge ceremony every year he’s been in the White House, to light the National Christmas tree.
And said, “Merry Christmas” every year:
