Incumbent President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump released a video on Thursday wishing a ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’ to all the Americans.

In the almost three-minute-long address, the President thanked the Lord for sending his son to bring peace and joy to the world and admitted that Christmas is going to be very different this year with the raging pandemic.

Citing the acts of kindness and courage even amidst the raging pandemic, the First Lady said, “Teachers have worked extraordinarily hard to keep our children learning. Students have delivered groceries to elderly neighbours communities have found new ways to stay connected to one another, courageous first responders doctors and nurses have given everything to save lives, brilliant scientists have developed treatments and vaccines.”

Trump continued, “We are delivering millions of doses of a safe and effective vaccine that will soon in this terrible pandemic and save millions and millions of lives. We’re grateful for all of the scientists, researchers manual manufacturing workers and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible. It is truly a Christmas miracle.”

Thanking the US police and the military for their dedication, Melania said, “During these wonderful time of year, we also give thanks for the brave and selfless Americans who keep us safe. We are forever grateful for the men and women of law enforcement and the heroes of the United States military.”

“In this holy season. We thank God for His infinite love, and we pray that the light. His glory will forever shine on this magnificent land. On behalf of Melania and the entire Trump family We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,” Trump concluded.

America will walk into a toned-down Christmas celebration on December 25, with the raging coronavirus having claimed over 300,000 lives in the country.
