"When Will Trump Take Office? On MLK Day, Unfortunately," The Intelligencer's senior editor Margaret Hartmann lamented in a new piece.
Hartmann noted the "depressing" news that President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in to his second, non-consecutive term in office on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The presidential inauguration sometimes falls on the federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr., which takes place on the third Monday of January each year, close to King’s birthday on January 15.
"If you’re not a big fan of Donald Trump, you’ve probably gotten used to hearing a lot of stupid and/or depressing political news in recent months," she wrote in New York magazine's The Intelligencer. "I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but as the Biden administration comes to a close, there’s another unpleasant fact that may not have dawned on you: The second Trump inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day."
But instead, Hartmann regrets, "we’ll be swearing in the guy who spent the first MLK Day of his presidency golfing, and who recently bragged that his pre-insurrection speech on January 6, 2021, drew a bigger crowd than King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech (which isn’t true)."
Trump defeated Harris by 312 to 226 electoral votes, carrying all seven swing states in the process, and also won the popular vote.

Wondering if I should change the date of my Colonoscopy.
Awesome. I would much rather watch Trump sworn in to office then yet another day the usual forced day of bowing down to worship that idol.
January 20 is just one day after the anniversary of General Robert E. Lee’s birth; and one day before the anniversary of the birth of General Stonewall Jackson.
Time for a Lee-Trump-Jackson celebration!
Trump will be at some inaugural ball while the Nittany Lions beat the Ducks for the CFB championship.
At least he won’t have to watch a giant pop-tart get toasted on national TV.

MLK was a Republican that wanted a colorblind society. He’d hate the woke DEI libs of today.
That’s adultery and plagiarism day.
Margaret Hartmann sounds like a racist POS.
MLK was a Republican, not a democRAT slavery supporter. Seems appropriate to me.
Most AA men are thrilled!
This idiot is trying to make something out of nothing. Trump did more for blacks than the decrepit piece of offal that he is replacing. democrats have kept them down and poor so as to tap them for votes and money at election time.
Trump will improve the job situation. democrats don’t want blacks to have jobs.
Mental illness is a serious problem in our country.
Nothing else to kvetch about so they found this to kvetch about. Sad
And pathetic.
Well then, discontinue MLK Day. Fixed it.
.....Time for a Lee-Trump-Jackson celebration!....
I agree!
I'm not so sure of that given his advocacy of guaranteed annual incomes for everyone and vast expansion of the federal welfare system.
He also advocated the United States unilaterally get rid of its nuclear weapons, a position that was not necessarily woke or liberal - just dumb or subversive.
Funny how it is MLK day. Almost like they are MiLKing racial divisions.
Our family always refers to it as Milk Day.
Remind this guy that Rosa Parks gave Trump her Ellis Island Award.
