Who knew that the real St. Nicholas was actually from Turkey? No one at this site. But his story is interesting and admirable: Link [1]
Β His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, d1ed in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesusβ words to βsell what you own and give the money to the poor,β Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God.
Well then. It is absolutely no wonder that Paul Gosar would release a picture of the “good Saint Nick” as Trump. Because, really, Trump sounds like he has a lot in common with the real St. Nicholas! Is there anyone on Earth who – upon hearing the word “Trump” – doesn’t think about a guy who spends a ton of money on the needy, the sick, and suffering, or someone who has dedicated his life to serving God?
This is perfect:

Hell, Trump even fits the modern Mall Santa picture perfectly. Can’t you see him enjoying a day greeting little kids excited to see him and laughing with them?
Some other MAGAs had a few more disturbing pictures that they put up.

Okay, that’s plenty bad. In fact, it’s pretty disgusting and I doubt we’d be really impressed with someone who reversed it and had a Trump sign underneath.
We saved the worst for the last. We don’t know where the picture is from, we cannot even necessarily verify that it’s real, though it certainly looks real and isn’t beyond the MAGA’s behavior. We really do want to warn the Christians among us, the next picture is truly offensive, just go one below the last.

As you’d expect, Twitter had some thoughts:
The difference is that even though Santa only comes once a year, it doesn't cost him $130,000

Well, I mean in fairness, they both take credit for gifts that they didn't actually provide, when in reality the responsibility to take care of those things were just dropped back on already-stressed and struggling families.

Since when does Santa steal all the gifts?

But Santa gives free stuff to people and I was told that's Communist.

If that came down my chimney my natural response would be to call 911.
