Donald Trump: 'Maybe we should boycott Starbucks'
Donald Trump joins in on the Red Starbucks cup controversy earlier this week. Many Starbucks lovers and Christians are questioning why there wasn't any "Merry Christmas" messages on their annual holiday cups. Trump delivers a message of boycotting Starbucks to bring back the Christmas-themed cups. Starbucks recently said that they did in fact remove "symbols of the season" used in the past such as reindeer and ornaments. Some Christian leaders have long attacked secular businesses for waging a "War on Christmas" and prevented customers and employees from sharing Christmas greetings. Although this may not be a serious topic for Trump to talk about during his time running for president but he does say "I guarantee if I become president, we're going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' at every store."
I find this kind of amusing how many people are making such a big deal out of this whole holiday cup controversy. I think that Starbucks wasn't trying to offend anyone or anything in any way and just wanted to use simple red cups this holiday season. Donald Trump chimed in on this issue to probably just say something about it. In general, there are many other things to be worried about other than Starbucks cups.
