"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.

Sad. They took away the birthday of the first Presidential candidate of the Republican Party, and combined it with the birthday of the first President of the United States, and named it “President’s Day.” Whoopee!!
He was an amazing man who has never gotten the national honors he deserves.
True Prophets are often without honor, faulse prophets often get the praise.
“NY Mag editor upset that Trump is ‘unfortunately’ taking office on MLK Day”
This allows all the Federal Government workers in DC (soon to be in Nebraska) to CELEBRATE the inauguration of their new boss!!!
Very true.
Who in their right mind would care in the slightest what that Skank’s concerns are. That article is exactly the kind of garbage that normal people find so repulsive.
No.
Acknowledgment of Perceived Grievance Day sometimes coincides with the presidential inauguration.
I got married on Robert E. Lee’s birthday.
The band at my wedding reception played Dixie for the first dance.
Mental illness is a serious problem in our country.

And without having verified it, I would wager at least 80% of the mentally ill are ideologically indoctrinated left-wing sociopaths and psychopaths, and therefore dangerously unhinged.
“Wondering if I should change the date of my Colonoscopy.”
LOL!
I f it’s routine, reschedule.
Did anyone actually ask why
Like everything else, RATS, and their Rino buddies have to bastardize everything.

I pray everyday that increasing multitudes of sane Americans will come to that conclusion and do everything possible to defeat them at every turn.
Thanks for the poem by Phillip Burrows Strong!
Delightful, and words to live by!
You are most welcome. The leftist bunch and those who are leftists, but pretend to be God-fearing, are going to get a big surprise before too long.
“If the Democrats had left MLK Day on the 15th this would never happen but...
Rich white liberals wanted another three-day ski weekend.
“The band at my wedding reception played Dixie for the first dance.”
I like it!
Our country will never be truly free until the Southern Anthem is returned to the play list.
For now, we toil in barbarism. People are being burned alive in New York City for doing less than singing Dixie.
life’s a bitch, oh well.
oh, it’s the republicans who freed the slaves and who voted for the civil rights act.
and the republicans who fought the civil war and was responsible for Juneteenth!
