President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening, at a Florida rally, vowed not to change the name of Thanksgiving.

“As we gather together for Thanksgiving, you know, some people want to change the name ‘Thanksgiving,’” Trump told a crowd. “They don’t want to use the term ‘Thanksgiving.’ And that was true also with Christmas. But now everybody’s using ‘Christmas’ again. Remember this?”
