In my opinion, all the publicity that Starbucks is getting not only gives it more business, but the publicity could be directed at these much more important issues. At least according to an Arizona evangelist, and now, Donald Trump. “I care about what they do for working people”, he said.

You know it’s time to ditch the frappuccinos for lattes when Starbucks brings out its holiday colored (read, happy crimson) cups.
What’s your take on the stir surrounding the Starbucks red cups?
On his Facebook page video, Feuerstein stands outside a Starbucks for his soapbox rant.
At a campaign rally in October, Trump told a crowd of evangelical Christians in Iowa that, if elected, he would impose a few form of Merry Christmas speech mandate.
“In fact, do you realise Starbucks isn’t allowed to say Merry Christmas to customers?”
These are screenshots from Joshu Feuerstein’s Facebook video.
Starbucks, in the meantime, has defended its move as a way to let customers adorn their own coffee cups. Does that mean he also hates Jesus and is really the anti-Christ?
“Remember Starbucks: Christmas is the season for giving into any demand anyone makes on the Internet”, Colbert said.
The cups in the past have contained reindeer and ornaments but not this year. “By creating cups that specifically message the Joy of the Christmas Season – in sharp constrast to Starbucks” “blank canvas’ – Dunkin’ Donuts has specifically welcomed Faith Driven Consumers, and all Americans who love Christmas”. As a Christian myself it is my hope that instead of obsessing about the design of a corporate holiday cup, I focus on acting like the one whose birthday we celebrate.
“We’re embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it”. We’re wimps, and this new battle over the design of Starbucks’ coffee cup goes to prove that mega companies are walking on egg shells, as well.

Trump’s remarks criticizing Starbucks came even though he is the landlord for a NY Starbucks branch.
