ELECTION/RALLY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Christmas has come to Biloxi, Mississippi, as President Donald Trump holds his second rally of the day in the state. The Mississippi Coast Coliseum has been decked out in an elaborate display that includes dozens of evergreens, a gigantic fake chimney, complete with stockings and a wreath, and Santa’s present-filled sleigh. There are also large nutcrackers and even a blow-up helicopter with moving rotor and penguins inside. Fake snow started falling when Trump entered to huge applause Monday [11-26-18]. During his campaign, Trump railed against what he described as a war against Christmas and promised that, if elected, ‘people would be saying Merry Christmas again.’ Trump is campaigning for Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who is facing a tough runoff election against Democrat Mike Espy on Tuesday as she seeks to keep her seat.”
