Don't say I didn't tell everyone that he studied the Hitler book on his nightstand.  Next thing you know he will have wives staying home making babies to increase American citizenry.

"National Day of Trump Devotion"

I believe Trump puts himself on an equal basis with God, so he needs one day a year for people to worship him, and that is just the beginning.

Trump can take the criticism, Christians are persecuted.

I"d suggest that GeronL, Victoria33 and ChosenDaughter develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and find a good church.

January 20th, 2017 already happened. It doesn't sound like this will be yearly.

@mystery-ak

Your "Hitler" comparison to President Trump is disgusting and no different than that whack-job, Ashley Judd.   But it's what we've come to expect with some of you Trump haters.   

We've got Memorial Day....Labor Day....President's Day...an Independence Day.

WTF is wrong with Patriot's Day?

I agree DC, Chosen Daughter does this repeatedly; I believe this person needs to read the Bible and find Christ.

@ChosenDaughter

The reference is from something a wife said in Divorce Proceedings per a book on the nightstand, iow, take it for what it's worth.

This proclamation by Donny is pointless and stupid. It mirrors Obama's dumb assery trying to change the meaning of 911 into some Commie day of service. No one wants this and no one will do this.

She'll tell you that she's an "ultra-Conservative"....like a couple of others boast in here.

What she said is well over the line....and I'm not going to stand for it. 

And neither should the rest of TBR.

That you can't see what is wrong with any president declaring the day of THEIR inauguration a Day of Patriotic Devotion (NOT patriots day, like you are trying to say) is the problem.

Trump declares National Day of Patriotic Devotion...but you already missed it
Christine Wang
16 Hours Ago
CNBC.com


President Donald Trump has unveiled the date for his national day of patriotism... but it has already passed.

According to a document published by the office of the Federal Register, the 45th president of the United States proclaimed Jan. 20, 2017 — Trump's Inauguration Day — to be a National Day of Patriotic Devotion. Trump made the proclamation "in order to strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country — and to renew the duties of Government to the people."

"A new national pride stirs the American soul and inspires the American heart. We are one people, united by a common destiny and a shared purpose," the proclamation said.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer first revealed the move last week in one of his first tweets from the official press secretary account.

Often, presidential proclamations of days of observance are made in advance so that people can make plans for how they want to recognize the day, whether it's through service or a moment of silence. Trump's instead designated a day that has already passed.

Presidents can declare a one-time holiday through executive order, but Congress holds the power to create annual federal holidays. In 2004, for example, George W. Bush issued an executive order for a national day of mourning following Ronald Reagan's death, shutting down the federal government for a day.

Trump's National Day of Patriotic Devotion shouldn't be confused with previous presidential proclamations with similar names.

In 2002, Bush proclaimed September 11 as Patriot Day. He first declared the day in 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001.

In 2014, Barack Obama also proclaimed it as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Bush and Obama's presidential proclamations made September 11 a national observance, but not a federal holiday.

There are also similarly named state holidays, which were declared in honor of different historical events. In Maine, Patriot's Day falls on the third Monday in April. In Massachusetts, Patriots' Day is observed on April 19.

I have not read the proclamation but if there is no reference to Trump, I don't have an issue with it.

That said, things such as this bear watching. Among the multitude of reasons I disdained Obama was his King-sized ego combined with an absence of humility.
