Trump is only the third president to be sworn in on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Due to the particulars of the calendar and the Constitution, the two events won't overlap again until 2053.

This is a tragedy. You have MLK day celebrating a rapist, fraud, insurrectionist, racist fat pig who detests anytime a poor black guy making a dime when a poor white guy makes a nickle.
#MLK would roll over in his grave to know that racist, orange windbag was being inaugurated on that day. I will be honoring MLK and ignoring the Tangerine Toddler all day.
Because of course, every new holiday must occur so federal employees can have a three day weekend instead of occurring when the person was actually born.
And MLK is turning in his grave. To have this obvious racist sworn in on the same day we honor one of the biggest civil rights leaders in history is an absolute disgrace.
It's cute that MSM still thinks that there will ever be another potus elected to be sworn in.
Unless We the People do something, we're in for a full line of the Drumpf Dynasty and/or whomever the Christian Fascists behind the GOP/Project 2025 want to install without an election.
Pretty big assumption that there's going to be a swearing in in 2053 - I'll be shocked if we still have a functional government made up of elected leaders by then.
Pretty obscene. Or, puts into high relief the contrast between the servant leadership and justice orientation of MLK and the orange fuckery of the First Felon.

Either way, Monday is MLK Jr Day. Period.

MLK Day is January 15th.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's why I'll be honoring him via the National Day of Service, and ignoring anything and everything about the felon.🤷🏾♀️
