Having won the War on Christmas—“People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again. I am proud to have led the charge against the assault of our cherished and beautiful phrase”—Donald Trump has a new battle to fight: Saving Thanksgiving from a secret liberal plot. “As we gather together for Thanksgiving,” Trump told supporters at a Tuesday night rally in Florida, “you know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving. They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving.”

“But everybody in this room, I know, loves the name Thanksgiving,” Trump said. “And we’re not changing.”

Like the war on Christmas, which was essentially manufactured by Fox News to gin up conservative outrage, the war on Thanksgiving is of dubious origins. At the very least, the former had some roots in conservative Christian indignation over the proliferation of the phrase “happy holidays.” The latter—which, of course, already refers to a secular holiday—seems conjured up entirely from the psychedelic funhouse of the president’s imagination. “Now everybody’s using ‘Christmas’ again,” Trump said Tuesday. “But now, we’re going to have to do a little work on Thanksgiving.”

What, exactly, such work will consist of is not yet clear. But already the president’s absurd claims have begun making the rounds in the right-wing echo chamber. On Wednesday morning, the Fox & Friends crew devoted some time to the subject, referencing a “rumor” that Barack Obama had weighed changing the name of the holiday in 2015 (Steve Doocy acknowledged it was “debunked,” but still), suggesting that liberals would rather Skype their grandmothers than actually visit them for the Turkey Day feast, and generally implying that the left has it in for the longstanding traditions associated with the holiday. “I think the issue that a lot of people have with potentially changing that name is the fact that in the name we’re expressing gratitude,” Fox & Friends co-host Emily Compagno said. “This is a day that we are to give thanks and gratitude for our loved ones and our blessings and our health.”
