Trump on Sunday touted that people are saying "Merry Christmas again," asserting that he stood up to an "assault" on Christmas hours before the holiday.

"People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase," Trump tweeted on Christmas Eve.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!"

Earlier Sunday, during a video conference with soldiers overseas, Trump wished U.S. troops a “very, very merry Christmas,” adding that the country is saying “merry Christmas, again, very, very proudly.”

Trump has long seized on the "war on Christmas" to rally support among evangelicals and Christian conservatives. Months before the holiday season this year, the president renewed his claim that he was bringing back the greeting.

“We’re getting near that beautiful Christmas season that people don’t talk about anymore. They don’t use the word 'Christmas' because it’s not politically correct," Trump told a crowd attending the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., in October.
