In yet another infuriating outpouring of wokeness from the mainstream media, the Washington Post launched a Friday, December 26, broadside against the Trump Administration for its celebration of Christmas, alleging that the administration had behaved inappropriately in its explicitly Christian Christmas messaging.
Fortunately, the Trump Administration has refused to back down in the wake of the article, instead insisting that it will continue celebrating Christmas and that the holiday is one in which Christians, including those in the administration, will be encouraged to continue “celebrating the birth of their Savior”.
In the article, the Washington Post gave examples of and attacked Trump Administration figures and departments like the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Education Secretary Linda McMahon for their allegedly “sectarian” Christian messaging.
At one point in the article, for instance, the Washington Post claimed, “Top officials in President Donald Trump’s administration posted messages from their government accounts hailing Christmas in explicitly sectarian terms, such as a day to celebrate the birth of ‘our Savior Jesus Christ.'”
Continuing, the Washington Post complained that the Trump Administration had celebrated the birth of Jesus on Christmas instead of “Santa Claus,” saying, “The messages sharply diverged from the more secular, Santa Claus-and-reindeer style of Christmas messages that have been the norm for government agencies for years.”
Adding to that, the Washington Post further attacked the administration for celebrating the Christian holiday instead of vague secularism, insisting, “The posts provided the latest example of the administration’s efforts to promote the cultural views and language of Trump’s evangelical Christian base.“
The Trump Administration fired back with fury, hammering the Washington Post for its ridiculous attacks on him. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, for example, told Fox News Digital, “While the Washington Post would prefer we stick to ‘Happy Holidays,’ we’re saying Merry Christmas again. And Christmas is a Christian holiday for millions of Christians celebrating the birth of their Savior, whether the Washington Post likes it or not.”

Also chiming in, Trump counterterrorism advisor Sebastian Gorka noted that Christmas is a Christian holiday and noted that the media is utterly abominable in the way it is attacking Christians for celebrating Christmas. He wrote, “You really do not hate the media scum enough. Christmas is about the birth of our Savior, the Son of God.”
Continuing, the Trump advisor insisted that America was founded on Christian values. He said, on that point, “Our Republic was founded by men of God, based on Western Christian values. The West is the greatest civilization Mankind has ever known since it predicates rights given by God.”
Other conservatives chimed in as well. For example, The Federalist CEO Sean Davis wrote, in a post on X, “The ‘Christ’ in Christmas is a pretty strong signal that the entire foundation of the holiday is Christian. In fact, it might even be a sign that the whole reason for the season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of God’s Son. You absolute clowns.”
And, on much the same note, Rep. Daniel Alders (R-TX), said, “It’s not sectarian to 1) Believe in the true God who alone created the universe and all that is in it. 2) Proclaim the good news that the Father sent His only begotten Son to earth to save us. There is either the true God or there isn’t, but if He doesn’t exist and rule over the earth then there’s little point in us living in our bubbles of false morality and ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ There is no neutrality.”
