The former president’s choice of greeting stands in contrast to many Democrats and progressives who have increasingly favored “Happy Holidays” as a more inclusive seasonal greeting.

Shortly after his initial post, Trump shared a formal photograph featuring himself and Melania Trump, positioned between Christmas trees. The image was accompanied by text reading “Merry CHRISTMAS 2024!”
This holiday message echoed his recent appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, where he addressed the audience on Sunday.
“I want to wish everybody a very, Merry Christmas,” he told attendees. “They don’t say that too much anymore. We say it.”
