Trump to Democrats: Merry Christmas (and by the way, you’re subverting democracy)
By Michael D. Shear and
In an apparent attempt to spread both holiday cheer and a political message, a White House aide on Wednesday distributed a yuletide gift to Democratic senators: a large embossed card bidding them a Merry Christmas.
But inside the card was a copy of President Trump’s rambling, angry six-page letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi accusing House Democrats of “subverting America’s democracy” by moving ahead with impeachment. The card was signed by both Mr. Trump and the first lady in red sharpie marker.
The package, delivered to the Capitol as the House inched closer to impeaching Mr. Trump, struck some lawmakers as eminently bizarre.
“What a day,” Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said.
