If p
Presidents Day is not enought, suck-up congresswoman from NY wants to have Trumpf day as a National holiday. Hope she services her husband as well as she does Trumpf. I guess put that alongside the proposal to put him on Mount Rushmore. (although wouldn't Stone Mountain be more appropriate, with the rest of the insurrectionists.... ???)

I'm honestly kinda surprised he didn't do something like this with an executive order on day 1. But all in good time. Some day, 1/6 will almost certainly be some kind of MAGA holiday.

A lot of the MAGAverse likes to pose with golden statues of him, which delights those of us who aren't irony impaired. I hope they put one of those right in front.
