A new national pride stirs the American soul and inspires
the American heart. We are one people, united by a common
destiny and a shared purpose.
Freedom is the birthright of all Americans, and to preserve
that freedom we must maintain faith in our sacred values and
heritage.

Our Constitution is written on parchment, but it lives in
the hearts of the American people. There is no freedom where the
people do not believe in it; no law where the people do not
follow it; and no peace where the people do not pray for it.
There are no greater people than the American citizenry,
and as long as we believe in ourselves, and our country, there
is nothing we cannot accomplish.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by
the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim January 20, 2017, as National Day of Patriotic
Devotion, in order to strengthen our bonds to each other and to
our country -- and to renew the duties of Government to the
people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand
seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the two hundred and forty-first.

To be published tomorrow. Read the unpublished PDF here.

And in case you forgot, January 20th is the day he became president.

Goddamn, not even a week in and things are more bonkers than I ever thought possible. It's gonna be a long four years.

kadotsu · Jan 23, 2017

Three months early.

ElectricBlanketFire · Jan 23, 2017

And before anyone asks, yes, it's real.

MIMIC · Jan 23, 2017

So 9/11 and January 20th are Patriot Day?

Fantastapotamus · Jan 23, 2017

At least it's not his birthday

Moosichu · Jan 23, 2017

I don't think Trump wrote that himself, something about it seems different.

But seriously, that is scary

gutshot · Jan 23, 2017

This is some Kim Jong-il shit.

hawkshockey11 · Jan 23, 2017

national flag burning day

Joe Shlabotnik · Jan 23, 2017

Good day for a march

Meus Renaissance · Jan 23, 2017

Trump doing this doesn't surprise me. What is concerning however is the amount of support from conservatives it'll get.

echoshifting · Jan 23, 2017

I thought this would be an Onion article

I wish this was an Onion article

Kinda.

The latter is more like an "optional" high school football practice.

Sephzilla · Jan 23, 2017

Don't we already have a day of national patriotism? It's called 4th of July

gutter_trash · Jan 23, 2017

Freedom!!!.... except for freedom of the press LOL

PKrockin · Jan 23, 2017

A naked fascist and wannabe dictator just like his daddy Putin.

Saganator · Jan 23, 2017

Sounds like a good day to go out and protest

jimmypython · Jan 23, 2017

why don't you make election day a national holiday first

rec0ded1 · Jan 23, 2017

VR technology was not advanced enough to let me escape this in time. shit.

PsychoSoldier · Jan 23, 2017

That name makes my skin crawl.

liquidtmd · Jan 23, 2017

His first orders of business on taking office have been mindblowing in their indulgence.

So many educated people doing absolutely random shit.

Holding a full on press conference to say 'oi, the media are stinky for saying stinky Obama had more people at his ceremony' was baffling.

This just follows the trend.

DarkChronic · Jan 23, 2017

So, uh, will we get off work for this?

RCSI · Jan 23, 2017

Hold on, let me get my flag and a match.

smokeymicpot · Jan 23, 2017

This is totally Bannon. Sounds fucking evil.

Wilsongt · Jan 23, 2017

Uh..................................

pantsattack · Jan 23, 2017

It's a day to protest Trump announced a year early. I'll put it on my calendar, thanks!

Edit: This date already passed. WTH?

gcubed · Jan 23, 2017

National Day of Patriotic Devotion... no one though this name was a terrible fucking idea?

Sibylus · Jan 23, 2017

American fascism will be wrapped in the stars and stripes.

Orbis · Jan 23, 2017

I'm assuming he's made an error by not making it annual.

Count of Monte Sawed-Off · Jan 23, 2017

This is fucking stupid.

To be fair, they were both tragedies for the American people.

broncobuster · Jan 23, 2017

Just wait until February becomes about Trump History

Perfect Cha0s · Jan 23, 2017

This is embarrassing and scary.

PJV3 · Jan 23, 2017

Fucking hell America.

Slayven · Jan 23, 2017

He made his day a holiday, lol

cakely · Jan 23, 2017

That date has already passed.

Does this mean he'll announce another one for January 2018?

Slightly Live · Jan 23, 2017

Jesus, really?
