Rev. Sloan: 'Tis the season to be... merry? Really? Not feelin' it this year... Trump: ...and when I become president, we're going to be saying "Merry Christmas" at every store! Rev. Sloan: That's rich... Trump isn't even a practicing Christian! He's biblically illiterate and utterly void of a single Christian virtue! I realize it's not a requirement that the president be devout, or even a believer... but c'mon, Christmas for Trump is nothing more than a marble lobby full of shopper! Trump: ...and you can leave your "Happy Holidays" at the corner! Boopsie: Oh, no... Rev. Sloan: What? Boopsie: I have 200 cards that say that. Rev. Sloan: Merry Christmas.
The main point is Trump is a hypocrite and his claim that we’ll be able to say “Merry Christmas” again — aside from being idiotic, since unlike in a despotic theocracy, no one was ever prevented from doing so — just panders to the Christian right as throughout his public life, he has never demonstrated anything but secular beliefs. This is only one of many ways Trump’s hypocrisy / deceit / dishonesty is on full display.
