NY Mag editor upset that Trump is 'unfortunately' taking office on MLK Day

"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."
But instead, Hartmann regrets, "we’ll be swearing in the guy who spent the first MLK Day of his presidency golfing, and who recently bragged that his pre-insurrection speech on January 6, 2021, drew a bigger crowd than King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech (which isn’t true)."
Trump defeated Harris by 312 to 226 electoral votes, carrying all seven swing states in the process, and also won the popular vote.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Also the same day as the NCAA football championship game. I'm betting Trump makes it to Atlanta before kickoff.

Awesome. I would much rather watch Trump sworn in to office then yet another day the usual forced day of bowing down to worship that idol.

January 20 is just one day after the anniversary of General Robert E. Lee’s birth; and one day before the anniversary of the birth of General Stonewall Jackson.
Time for a Lee-Trump-Jackson celebration!

Trump will be at some inaugural ball while the Nittany Lions beat the Ducks for the CFB championship.
At least he won’t have to watch a giant pop-tart get toasted on national TV.

MLK was a Republican that wanted a colorblind society. He’d hate the woke DEI libs of today.
