President Donald Trump has made a number of disparaging comments about Mexicans and immigrants since stepping into the political spotlight. He has also repeatedly bragged about bringing the phrase Merry Christmas back to the White House (despite the fact that it never left). So when the satirical blog Laughing in Disbelief published an article in December 2018 reporting that President Trump had banned the song Feliz Navidad from the White House, many readers found the claim to be plausible: Laughing in Disbelief is a satirical blog published to the Patheos platform, one which frequently posts content poking fun at religious institutions. A disclaimer on the website explains that if you're reading an article on Laughing in Disbelief, then you are reading a piece of fiction: This article appeared to be putting a spin on the numerous false rumors that were circulated during holiday seasons when President Barack Obama was in office. President Trump's predecessor was often falsely accused of having banned various aspects of the Christmas holiday, such as the phrase Merry Christmas, nativity scenes, Christmas cards, the Charlie Brown Christmas special, and Christmas trees.
