Usually a Presidential Christmas message isn’t particularly newsworthy. Trump has changed that. Hopefully this year he and Melania gave their next to last Christmas address unless he’s removed from office before next Christmas. That would be a Christmas miracle.
Compare their’s to Michelle and Barack Obama’s final Christmas Message.
If you can stand to do so, watch this:
Note that they intersperse their message with clips.
Melania may feel the words, although her sitting next to her dear husband without touching him suggests anything but intimacy. With Trump the delivery is insincerity personified. He could just as well been reading a report on theoretical physics trying to put emphasis where it belongs.
I have a feeling both of them would rather have been anywhere else.
They both look like they have been roofied.
Trump couldn’t even give it a rest on Christmas Day (below is a link):
Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Newberger expressed my sentiments in his tweet in response to Trump’s: “Imagine being President of the greatest country in the world, with an opportunity to address the entire planet on Christmas, and this is the best string of words you can come up with.

“So if anybody wants to be a nice conservative, talk show host is not a bad living, I would say. But I have to say, he’s a very unique guy and he’s a great man and he’s been a great friend. So thank you to Rush. Thank you,” Trump said.
“And let me begin by wishing you a beautif — look, do you remember this? Do you remember this? Remember, they were trying to take Christmas out of Christmas. Do you remember? They didn’t want to let you say Merry Christmas,” Trump continued.
Norrholm’s three signs:
Nostalgia is usually a happy feeling, sometimes tinged with sadness when it may be combined with feelings of loss. The dictionary defines nostalgia as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
When it comes to feeling nostalgia for how Michelle and Barack related to each other that nostalgia is tainted by feelings of anger.
Santa Claus has been replaced a by psychopathic Grinch.
Hardly anybody read my Christmas post so here it is again:
