“Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act to officially designate June 14 as a federal holiday to commemorate President Donald J Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day. Born on June 14, 1946, President Donald J Trump’s birthday coincided with Flag Day, which is observed annually and recognizes the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777.”
“This legislation would permanently codify a new federal holiday called ‘Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day’ on June 14 to honor this historic day. ‘No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J Trump. As both our 45th and 47th President, he is the most consequential President in modern American history, leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil. From brokering the historic Abraham Accords to championing the largest tax relief package in American history, his impact on the nation is undeniable. 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. As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we should create a new federal holiday honoring the American Flag and all that it represents.”
“By designating Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, we can ensure President Trump’s contributions to American greatness and the importance of the American Flag are forever enshrined into law,’ said Congresswoman Tenney,” says a press release from Tenney’s office about how hard she’s working to lower the price of eggs for voters in New York’s 24th District.
This may very well be the most ballsucky bill ever brought up by a MAGA member of Congress, even given the copious level of competition. For example, the constitutional amendment one that piece of shit Andy Ogles introduced had at least some theoretical political utility to when you think about it, that allowing Trump to run again would advantage Republicans downballot in 2028 – and of course Ogles got what he wanted out by federal prosecutors dropping the criminal investigation into him.
Same but less so with the “expungement” attempts. Just neutralizing the “twice-impeached” descriptor from Trump is a rhetorical win. On the other hand, the ones where they tried to rename Dulles to “Donald J Trump International Airport” and the territorial waters off the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States,” were in the same vein as Tenney’s but she’s simply light years ahead in the supplication.
