Donald Trump Merry Christmas Sign is a series of exploitable images featuring United States President Donald Trump pointing at a red sign that reads "Merry Christmas." Online, people have photoshopped the sign to read other humorous, satirical or absurd phrases.

Origin

At which point, he pointed at a large sign that had "Merry Christmas" printed on it (shown below).^[1]
