Yep, he really did say this

President Donald Trump came up with an unusual greeting Friday to those commemorating the day Christ was nailed to a cross: “HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY TO ALL!”

He later wished everyone a “great” Good Friday at his press briefing.

The jarring greeting referred to the most somber day of the Christian calendar. It marks the torture of Jesus and his death upon a cross. Easter, on Sunday, marks the celebration of Jesus’s resurrection. (The “good” in Good Friday refers to the day being “holy.”)

Ever the cheerleader (his opinion of himself), sees the positive side of Christ's agony/death.

but since he only plays one on TV he's not really aware of what that significance is; only that he probably should say something - and the only thing he knows about special days is that usually one says "Happy (Whatever)." In September we can also expect him to say with similar cluelessness, "Happy Yom Kippur."
