Trump’s inauguration on MLK Day is appropriate
By Bill Hansmann

Margaret Hartmann, writing for the Intelligencer, published under the banner of the New York Magazine, writes that she finds it unpleasant that Donald Trump’s second inauguration will fall on the annual Martin Luther King holiday.  MLK Day is celebrated on the third Monday of each January; thus, it is not always on January 20.  However, by amended constitutional edict, January 20 is Inauguration Day every four years.

Hartmann laments that those dates coincide, and she quotes MLK’s youngest child, Dr. Bernice King, who finds it unfortunate that Donald Trump, rather than Kamala Harris, will be sworn in on her father’s holiday.  She’d hoped Harris would win instead of  “someone who’s spewing hateful rhetoric, who’s not been very kind-hearted, and whose policies are not humane in their approach.”

Well, forgive me for quoting not Bernice King, but her father, whose most famous quote evokes a time “when my four little children will one day live in a nation where the color of their skin will not judge them, but rather the content of their character.”

NY Mag editor upset that Trump is 'unfortunately' taking office on MLK Day
'We'll be swearing in the guy who spent the first MLK Day of his presidency golfing,' Intelligencer senior editor writes

"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."

Boo freakin' hoo. What's inappropriate is having an MLK Jr. national holiday.
