A search for “Trump proclaims thanksgiving” was all it took.

Happy Thanksgiving though

And note the use of the phrase “in the year of our Lord”:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

That phrase is used to refer to the year in the reign of a king; in this case, the reign of Jesus, counted from His incarnation here, and continuing to the present day.

Affirms both His sovereignty and resurrection.

I am waiting for a Federal Judge to block this proclamation. Thank you, Mr. President.

I forgot to put the quote symbols...

Majestic and uplifting. Anno Domini. Much better than that stupid PC phrase "common era." What distinguishes the "common era" from "before common era"? The birth of Jesus Christ. So what's the point of trying to hide it by calling it "common era"? I'll never understand the minds (I know, big assumption there) of liberals.

You know, truthfully, when I get down and low after reading the news from the mainstream, President Trump comes in like a window open full of fresh air and brightens my day. Thank you Mr. President!

I always read “CE” as “Christian Era”, and “BCE” as “Before Christian Era”

Christ is still there, in spite of the liberals trying to ignore Him.

Better yet:

Anno Domini !

In the Year of Our Lord !
