The spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Washington, but this year, it’s the tale of a White House willing to wield its influence for a higher purpose. President Trump and his administration have embraced a Christmas message that’s unapologetically Christian, leaving both supporters and critics stirred. Finally, there’s leadership that stands firm on traditional values in a world that’s trying too hard to erase them.
Look around, and you’ll see the evidence of a cultural stand. From top-down policy moves to bold social media proclamations, Trump and his team have made it clear: defending faith is back on the national agenda. For millions of Americans who’ve felt sidelined by progressive policies, this season’s messaging must feel like a long-awaited homecoming. It’s about time faith-driven communities have a champion in the White House who isn’t afraid to promote the values that built this nation.

This administration didn’t wait for December to make its mark either. Earlier this year, Trump launched the White House Faith Office and a task force against anti-Christian bias, showing a clear commitment to tackling issues that matter most to the faithful. Executive orders like the Religious Liberty Commission reaffirm the constitutional rights that need protecting—not scorn. Trump’s Christmas “gift” to ISIS was not just another military operation. It stood as retribution for Christians persecuted in Nigeria—a powerful reminder that the world can no longer turn a blind eye to religious violence.
Despite the positive waves these moves have spurred, predictably, the liberal elite are clutching their pearls. Critics scream about the separation of church and state, conveniently forgetting history when it doesn’t serve their narrative. They talk about constitutional divides while ignoring the foundational principles and rights they claim to uphold. If only this selective memory were as outraged when Christians were under attack across the globe.
Even with social media lit up by holy messages from key departments, some deride the administration for not bowing down to secular demands. Yet, the overwhelming support from white evangelical Protestants reveals where America’s heart truly lies. The criticism from some quarters doesn’t come from a place of principle but from a deep discomfort with the resurgence of traditional values and a President unafraid to spotlight them.
Trump’s no stranger to criticism, but one must ask: Who benefits when faith is pushed to the fringes? Certainly not the American people. But with a President like Trump, the message is clear: faith, freedom, and the spirit of Christmas are far from dead and gone. And this holiday season, it’s something worth celebrating.
