The front of the card looks normal enough. Except maybe the Baby Jesus might be pouting like Kylie Jenner and making a gang hand symbol, I don’t know.
But when you open the Christmas greeting from Southern Strategy Group lobbyist Nelson Diaz — also the Miami-Dade Republican Party Chairman — you realize that the yellow straw upon which Baby Jesus seems to rest is really a truss of Donald Trump’s hair.
And Trump is yelling, as usual, under the words “O Comb, all ye faithful.”
Who thought this was appropriate?
“Happy holidays, and we hope you trump all of life’s challenges in 2016,” says the message from Diaz and the firm’s other Miami partner Edgar Castro.
It’s hard to tell if this is an endorsement of Trump’s presidential aspirations from Diaz, who is an old friend of Sen. Marco Rubio, another POTUS wannabe. Or is he making fun of Trump? Of his combover? Is he trying to say that Trump stole the Baby Jesus from a nativity scene somewhere.
It’s hard to tell even what the point is.
“Not at all an endorsement,” Diaz said. “Just pushing the envelope as we like to do.”
Okay, fine. But only as long as there’s not an absentee ballot in it.
Of course, we fully expect Trump to use this on the campaign trail as proof-positive that he has God’s endorsement.
