A Holiday For WHO?

This past Monday was observed as Presidents' Day, though it is officially still known as Washington's Birthday despite the fact that the third Monday of February is always Washington's Birthday even when Washington's actual birthday - February 22 - falls on a Monday, because then it's the fourth Monday of February.

Anyway, a New York Republican congresswoman plans to introduce a bill that would make another President's birthday a national holiday.  Abraham Lincoln's birthday, currently only an irrelevant state holiday in the Northern states?  No.  Theodore Roosevelt's birthday, as he was born and raised in New York State? Nope.  The birthday of Thomas Jefferson, the only other President on Mount Rushmore?  No - Donald Trump's birthday!

U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney is sponsoring a bill that, noting that Trump's birthday, June 14, is already acknowledged as Flag Day, and noting that Trump is as all-American as the flag (gag me with a spoon!), June 14 should be a federal holiday for Trump. 

And what would that do to Juneteenth five days later?  Likely remove it as a federal holiday because Trump's birthday and Juneteenth have way too much proximity to each other on the calendar.

Ick.

Currently, George Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr. are the only Americans who have federal holidays in their honor.  Let's keep it that way.

And let's keep Trump's ugly face off Mount Rushmore, in light of efforts to add him to that monument.
