Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson has backed Donald Trump after the billionaire brandished his childhood Bible and vowed to reclaim Christmas.

The reality TV star said he ‘liked me some Trump’ after the Republican presidential candidate called him up to the stage at the Oklahoma State Fair.

Trump had earlier said he was fed up of people saying ‘happy holidays’ instead of ‘merry Christmas’ and insisted this would change if he comes to power.

Just minutes after taking to the platform in Oklahoma City, Trump called Robertson up with him, asking if he ‘loved Trump’.

Willie said: ‘I do like me some Trump, I gotta admit.

‘Here’s the deal. We’re both successful businessmen. We both have pretty big shows on television. We both have wives that are 1,000 times better looking than us, so I like Trump.’

Trump, speaking earlier on Friday in Washington, DC, held aloft a personal copy of the Holy Book, which had a note in from his mother, as well as the address of his boyhood home.

He said: ‘I love Christmas. I love Christmas. But you see “Happy Holidays” all over.’

‘I wanna see “Christmas”. Other people can have their holidays, but Christmas is Christmas.

‘I’m for seeing “Merry Christmas.” Remember the expression “Merry Christmas”? You don’t see it anymore.

‘You’re going to see it if I get elected, I can tell you.’
