Okay. If the kids are nearby, gather them together around the TV so that they can hear a president speak on President's Day. Not the current President, of course. On this President's Day, 26, the current President, as usual, gave himself a day off, which was not the idea when President's Day was created.

Donald Trump, who spent the day at his Florida golf club, posted a President's Day greeting

to the world, claiming that he was, quote, working hard.

No one believes that. In fact, a solid majority of the country doesn't believe Donald Trump is working

hard any day of the week with 62 percent. Now, disapproving of the way Donald Trump does

and does not do his job as president. In 1879, 90 years after George Washington took the oath of office and 80 years after he died,

the United States Congress made George Washington's birthday February 22nd a national holiday.

Later, some states made Abraham Lincoln's birthday a holiday.

In 1971, most states agreed to combine those holidays into what we now call

President's Day and set that for the third Monday of February. And the President then didn't think,

Richard Nixon was literally making history on that President's Day by making the first trip by a president of the

United States to China. With a barely literate, profane vulgarian living on most weekdays,

in the portion of the White House that he has not yet torn down, America has lost any

expectation of decency or intelligence or wisdom or even

coherent speech from the present. High school students in America today, many of whom are listening

to a president for the first time, are hearing the stupidest things ever said in the White House.

This is a day to teach those high school students and to remind voters that the hateful venom

and incoherent ravings of Donald Trump are unique to his presidency.

The first president of the 21st century Republican George W. Bush published an article

today about George Washington and released an audio version of that article in which President

George W. Bush said the most non-controversial things that could be said about George Washington
