Mayor de Blasio says Donald Trump should ‘lighten up’ over outrage on

To a few, they seemed a convenient contrast to the plain, crimson-colored Starbucks cups.

Dunkin’ Donuts has parted the coffee and unveiled its Christmas-themed coffee cup, which a few say is a rebuke to Starbucks, whose non-religious cup has prevented people from feeding the poor, housing the homeless, and loving their neighbor. Calling into Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, the presidential candidate said he wants the cups to explicitly state “Merry Christmas”.

“Do you realize that Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups?” Feuerstein asked. “That’s why they’re just plain red”.

Starbucks has not responded to Dunkin’ Donuts coffee cup and has continued to stand behind their design. Here’s a few of their best work.

As in the case of all controversies, Dunkin’ Donuts released a statement about their cups for those who would portray this as a war between two companies over their holiday coffee cups.

“If I become president, we’re all going to be saying, “Merry Christmas” again”, Trump added.

“I don’t care what they put on their cups”.

As reported by Vox, the coffee company has revamped the look of its red cup for the past years.

In a press release about the 2015 winter cups Jeffrey Fields explains the design is a way for “customers to create their own stories with a red cup that mimics a blank canvas”. “I can see why people might be all frothed up about this”.

The View and Full House star Candace Cameron Bure has one question for those calling on a boycott of Starbucks over its holiday cut design.

“Maybe we should boycott Starbucks”, Trump said at a rally Monday. He said the country would say “merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” if he is elected.

Kit Yarrow, a professor of psychology and marketing at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, said a few people seized on the cup for the same reason many Americans have been captivated by Trump’s “anti-PC” stance. By making the decision to be holiday-neutral, Starbucks has actually made a strategic business decision to appeal to their diverse clientele.
