President Trump told supporters at a rally held in Sunrise, Fla., Tuesday that he wouldn’t allow the “radical left” to change the name of Thanksgiving.
The president, who recently switched his residency from New York to Florida, claimed at his "homecoming rally" that the left wants to change the name of the upcoming secular holiday after what he previously described as “a war on Christmas.”
“As we gather together for Thanksgiving, you know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving,” Trump began Tuesday night. “They don't want to use the term Thanksgiving. And that was true also with Christmas. But now everybody's using Christmas again. Remember this?”
While campaigning before the 2016 election, Trump vowed he was “a good Christian,” and therefore, would ensure people could “say ‘Merry Christmas’ again” in stores and public places instead of being obliged to opt for the more secular greeting “Happy Holidays,” according to The Hill.
“But now we're going to have to do a little work on Thanksgiving,” Trump continued at the Florida rally. “People have different ideas. Why it shouldn't be called Thanksgiving. But everybody in this room, I know, loves the name Thanksgiving. And we're not changing.”

Guys, this MIGHT be the last 5 years we get to be really happy.
I HOPE it’s longer and someone remotely CLOSE to Trump steps up in ‘24
But first let’s get though ‘20 :)
Well that’s something to be thankful for!
What? People don't like 'instead name the fourth Thursday of November a “nationaldayofmourning."??? WOW - we must be bigots... or something...
Thanks For Nuffin ?
The radical left must have had brain damage at some point in their life the hate everything normal but love misery.
Trump, 2020, 2024, 2028
Socialism, and by extension Communism, is the EQUAL SHARING OF MISERY.....................
We must just begin to shout the truth
The radical left are not Americans. The radical left must be destroyed, obliterated, crushed into dust.
We must tolerate political opposition but when the opposition is no longer American, tolerance is not only not required but harmful to our liberty
Happy Generic Non-Theistic Harvest Festival to you!
Gee I wonder why libs want to do away with the name “Thanksgiving”. It implies you are thanking someone and traditionally it has been God. This is just another battle against God.
Regrettably, I agree with you. What we are going through is very likely just a pause, not a change of direction.
I know the people don’t much like dynasties, but Jr.?
If people are that happy in 5 years he might be the closest thing to Trump.
Indeed they have been working on it for the last 80 years.
President Trump’s legacy will be shifting the courts, not only his terms in office. That will range far longer than 5 years.
When did this happen? I live in an urban area of a deep blue state and this is the first I have heard of an attempt to change the name of Thanksgiving.
I doubt he will live that long and there is that part of the Constitution that limits Presidents to 2 terms, so better start thinking of someone else to run in 2024.
