This holiday season there has been
a controversy over Starbucks removing the “symbols of the season” from their
cups. The cups used to display things
like reindeer, snowmen and snowflakes. However, this year Starbucks has traded
those designs for a simple two- toned red cup featuring their logo. The new design has angered many Christians and
has everyone buzzing about whether or not Starbucks is in the wrong for this
decision. Even though Starbucks has never had the phrase “Merry Christmas” on
their cups, people are going so far as to claim that Starbucks is insulting
Christ and Christmas itself with the new cup designs. Even Donald Trump
recently commented on the situation, adding to the insanity. He gave a speech
on Monday in Springfield, Illinois strongly disagreeing with the company’s
actions. He presented the idea of
boycotting Starbucks and stated “If I become president, we’re all going to be
saying Merry Christmas again.”
His reaction, along with many
others, is absolutely ridiculous. Attacking a company for removing animated
snowflakes and animals from their cups is absolutely absurd. Those things don’t
even represent the true meaning of Christmas. Trump’s input on the situation is
more than likely just a ploy to win the votes of those who share this
unreasonable opinion. If it’s not, and he actually believes that boycotting
Starbucks is relevant to the country’s well-being, then the idea of having him
as our president is just laughable.
There are certainly much more pressing matters that he could be worried
about, preferably some that might actually better our country as a whole.
