President-elect Donald Trump's critics and haters will find any possible reason to be triggered and upset over his election win.
That was evidenced in a hilarious manner recently after Margaret Hartmann, a senior editor at The Intelligencer, griped that Trump would be inaugurated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Fox News reported.
Hartmann had her Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display in the piece, describing the situation as "depressing" that Trump would take office on the holiday for the late Mr. King.
Inauguration Day, which falls on Jan. 20, sometimes falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, given that it's on the third Monday in January every year.
Clearly desperate for anti-Trump material to write and whine about, Hartmann held nothing back on the drama front as she described how depressing it was that the Biden administration is coming to a close and that Trump will take office on the federal holiday.
"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 her piece for New York magazine's The Intelligencer.
She added, "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."
Hartmann, who like most other Democrats are hyper-focused on race, expressed her disappointment that Vice President Kamala Harris -- who was destroyed by Trump at the ballot box -- won't get her day in the sun.
"So, if Kamala Harris had become the first Black woman elected president…Yup," Hartmann wrote.
Fox News noted:
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)."
During his first term, Fox News pointed out that Trump honored MLK Jr. in marking the 50th anniversary of King's assassination.
"This year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Dr. King, who was tragically assassinated on April 4, 1968," Trump said in a White House proclamation in January 2018.
"As we approach this solemn milestone, we acknowledge our Nation’s continuing debt to Dr. King’s legacy. Dr. King advocated for the world we still demand — where the sacred rights of all Americans are protected, rural and urban communities are prosperous from coast to coast, and our limits and our opportunities are defined not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character. We remember the immense promise of liberty that lies at the foundation of our great Republic, the responsibility it demands from all of us who claim its benefits, and the many sacrifices of those who have come before us."
Of course, Hartmann must have forgotten to mention that part.
