The Republican National Committee released a bizarre Christmas statement comparing president-elect Donald Trump to a  King.  We can recall all those times conservatives mocked our president, calling him  King Obama  so the irony is not lost on anyone. Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind,  RNC chairman Reince Priebus and co-chair Sharon Day wrote in the’statement.  Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends.  (my emphasis)Some conservatives on Twitter defended the’statement saying it was referring to Jesus, but most people did not. The odd wording that was used seems to indicate the RNC is referring to Trump. Or they’re just trolling us.good lord https://t.co/9etYehnJux pic.twitter.com/srSegSWBoq  southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) December 25, 2016In defense of the’statement:Every year we welcome the arrival of our King, whose name is Jesus.
