"On Friday, an ad was released by a pro-Trump political action committee that evidently unsettled some people on social media. The ad, by America First Policies, is reportedly slated to run on Christmas Day, but it's already been released online. And it concludes with a pretty distinct message, featuring a little girl thanking Trump for saying "Merry Christmas."
It's not strictly about the Christmas holiday, to be clear. The ad runs 33 seconds in length, showing people speaking to the camera, thanking the president for an array of reasons: for "putting America first," for "cutting my taxes," for "inviting us to stand for our national anthem," and other reasons.
The video ends with a young girl, who echoes one of Trump's most frequent, favorite claims. "Thank you for letting us say Merry Christmas again," she says, with the faint strains of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" playing in the background.”*
