          特朗普圣诞节演讲全文
          Thank you very much everybody. It's a great honor. I did something very
very special. I also want to thank for doing a fantastic job right from day one,
Secretary Ziggy. Thank you very much, secretary.
          Today is a day that I’ve been looking very much forward to all year long.
It’s one that we have heard, and we speak about, and we dream about. And now, as
the President of the United States, it’s my tremendous honor to finally wish
America and the world a very Merry Christmas. I want to thank everyone who has
come together here right in front of the White House. That beautiful, beautiful,
White House. And everyone watching from home to see the lighting of this
incredible national Christmas tree.
          For nearly a century, through good times and bad, every president has taken
part in this wonderful tradition first started by President Coolidge. But, I was
informed tonight that the weather we have is the best it’s been in 25 years. In
fact, I said, “Is it always like this?” And the secretary said, “Hasn’t been
like this for a long time, so we’re very lucky.”

          Finally, in 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant signed legislation making
Christmas a federal holiday and I sort of feel we’re doing that again. That’s
what’s happening. From the early days of our nation, Americans have known
Christmas as a time for prayer and worship, for gratitude and goodwill, for
peace and renewal. Melania and I are full of joy at the start of this very
blessed season. We’re thrilled to think of the people across the nation, and all
across the continents, whose spirits are lifted by the miracle of Christmas.
          For Christians, this is a holy season. The celebration of the birth of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christmas Story begins 2,000 years ago with a
mother, a father, their baby son, and the most extraordinary gift of all, the
gift of God’s love for all of humanity. Whatever our beliefs, we know that the
birth of Jesus Christ, and the story of this incredible life, forever changed
the course of human history. There’s hardly an aspect of our lives today that
His life has not touched – art, music, culture, law, and our respect for the
sacred dignity of every person everywhere in the world.
          Each and every year at Christmas time we recognize that the real spirit of
Christmas is not what we have – it’s about who we are. Each one of us is a child
of God. That is the true source of joy this time of the year. That is what makes
every Christmas merry. And that is what we remember at today’s beautiful
ceremony – that we are called to serve one another, to love one another, and to
pursue peace in our hearts, and all throughout the world.
          And so tonight, I thank the millions of Americans who light our lives and
brighten our wonderful communities. I thank those who are serving the needy
during this season and throughout the year. I thank our military men and women
who are stationed around the world keeping us safe. I thank our law enforcement
officers who protect our streets and secure our homeland. I thank America’s
teachers, pastors, and all those religious, and those people that have taught us
so much, for their leadership in our communities and our society.

          And especially tonight, I thank America’s families. At Christmas, we are
reminded more than ever that the family is the bedrock of American life. And so
this Christmas we ask for God’s blessings for our family, for our nation. And we
pray that our country will be a place where every child knows a home filled with
love, a community rich with hope, and a nation blessed with faith.
          On behalf of Melania, myself, Barron, all of my children, all of my
grandchildren — they’re here with us tonight — I want to thank you. God bless
you and God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much. Merry
Christmas Everybody. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Thank you.
