US President Trump said that people would not even be able to celebrate Christmas if Democrats won the election. In his statement, the inability to celebrate Christmas was presented as a consequence conditional on a Democratic victory.
Trump’s words draw a direct link between Democrats winning the election and Christmas celebrations being impossible. His statement claims that Christmas celebrations, too, would not be possible if Democrats won.
The emphasis on “even” Christmas draws particular attention to the celebration Trump said could be affected if Democrats won the election. His words frame the claim that Christmas could not be celebrated as conditional on that election outcome.
