One of President Donald Trump's most notable campaign promises was to revive the phrase "Merry Christmas."

It was an easy promise to keep, because at no point in American history has saying the phrase "Merry Christmas" been illegal.

Nevertheless, Trump claims people are saying the phrase more since his inauguration in 2017. We're sure he'll bring that data forward proving his claim any day now.

Trump's son, Eric, revived the claim at a recent press conference in Iowa.

Watch below.

Eric claimed:

"We're saying Merry Christmas again, we weren't saying that."

Ironically enough, Eric's claim became somewhat true. "Merry Christmas" started trending on Twitter after viewers saw the speech, so technically they were using the phrase more than one normally does...in February.

But they weren't using the phrase in the way Eric intended.





Others pointed out the strange timing of bringing up Christmas in February.

Bitter Life Lessons People Learned From Their Longest Relationships

Couples who have been in long-lasting relationships for years and thought they were in it for the long haul sometimes find that things don't always pan out the way they initially hoped. Many perpetually single people envy couples who've been together for years, but they don't always know what happens behind closed doors.
