It appears that Fox’s “War on Thanksgiving” segments have made an impact on Trump.

The Trump-Fox News Feedback Loop was on full display Wednesday morning when President Donald Trump’s favorite morning show backed his patently absurd claim that liberals want to change the name of Thanksgiving—an idea he obviously got from Fox’s recent round-the-clock “War on Thanksgiving” coverage.
At his Tuesday night campaign rally in Florida, the president insisted that “some people” want to change the name of the holiday and “don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving,” likening this supposed anti-Thanksgiving sentiment to another infamous right-wing media invention.
“And that was true with Christmas. Now everybody is using Christmas again. And remember I said that,” Trump declared. “Now we’re gonna have to do a little work on Thanksgiving. People have different ideas on why it shouldn’t be called Thanksgiving. Everybody here loves the name Thanksgiving and we’re not changing it!”
During Wednesday morning’s broadcast of Fox & Friends, the hosts appeared to give credence to the president’s conspiracy, all while sidestepping the role their network had in planting the idea in his head.
For the record I am pretty up to date with the liberal agenda and there is no discussion of doing a single thing to change Thanksgiving.
In fact I am loading up the Durango today and heading out to the Valley to visit my mother and enjoy all of the holiday trappings without feeling a single liberal pang of conscience.
Now as for Columbus Day? Well that is another matter entirely.
If someone was wandering down the street babbling like trump is prone to, they would be taken into protective custody until the doctors could figure out WTF. to do with them.
???? can’t remember calling it anything else. can’t remember this bullshit. trump and faux news, it ‘s not going to work. qhat liars. Happy Thankgiving.
Here’s what’s NOT a conspiracy:
1. The Crusades. Christians tortured and murdered basically everyone that wouldn’t be a Christian.
2. The Natives. Christians tortured and murdered and pillaged everyone and everything in their path per a hall pass given by European clergy.
3. Child rape. Christian priests rape humans under 18, usually significantly younger.
Christians are aggressive, violent, entitled, and ignorant.
I’ve never heard of a “liberal” war on Thanksgiving just as I’ve never heard of a “liberal” war on Christmas. National holidays are just that, national. That means they are for all the people to celebrate or not to celebrate.
Frankly I feel sorry for all the people who have to work today, including my son who worked until 5:00pm this afternoon. I also feel very sorry for all the women who work in department stores and who spent a good part of the day getting a holiday meal together for their families only to have to go to their jobs at department stores, some as early as 2:00pm this afternoon to assuage the greedy folks who want to shop for bargains even before Great Greedy Friday which we’ll have to endure tomorrow.
By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Yes, Columbus Day! I mentioned to a friend, a retired merchant mariner, that I was celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day. He was appalled because Columbus was a sailor. The fact that he was also an invader, thief, murderer, torturer, rapist and more…well, being a sailor was a good enough for my friend. I’m retired merchant marine too, and as far as I’m concerned, Columbus was a disgrace to all sailors everywhere.
Change Thanksgiving to what?

THANKSHILLARY
You mean, the woman who won the popular vote? Yes, he woul have been awesome. Too bad so many sad sacks like yourself can’t see that.
Trump and his supporters aren’t happy unless they’re outraged and fighting about something. If there’s nothing available, they will create something like this.
This is exactly because of the idea of a righteous separate savior.
And it went over like a lead baby Trump balloon.
