A Birthday that Celebrates One President Who Could Not Tell a Lie and Another Who Would Not Tell the Truth

How appropriate?

Marking President’s Day, Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) has proposed legislation to make June 14 a national holiday in honor of President Trump’s birthday.

Her bill will forever link Trump & George Washington in the same pantheon of American heroes. “Just as George Washington’s Birthday is codified as a federal holiday, this bill will add Trump’s Birthday to this list, recognizing him as the founder of America’s Golden Age.”

One President famously remembered for telling the truth contrasted with one who could not recognize it.

It would put the USA in the same league as North Korea, which named holidays for its former leaders even while they, too, were still alive.

Does she not see the irregularity of her proposal, or has the Congressperson lost sight of history?
