President Trump on Tuesday said he wants Americans to be comfortable wishing each other “Merry Christmas” during the December holiday, setting a standard for yet another hot-button issue.

“I want them to say Merry Christmas everybody, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, but I want Merry Christmas,” he said.
