President Trump is very busy these days. It isn’t easy capturing other world leaders and trying to takeover an entire country.

The president is so busy that he nearly forgot to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 19.

Former presidents, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, recognized the federal holiday during their terms in office.

Trump also recognized MLK Day during his first term in office.

Trump faced widespread criticism from Democrats, the NAACP, and social media users who ranted across all platforms on Monday.

According to the Associated Press, Trump did not recognize January 19 as Martin Luther King Jr. Day in an official statement until 8:15 p.m. on Monday, while he attended the college football national championship game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

Trump said in the proclamation:

“As President, I am steadfastly committed to ensuring that our country will always be guided by the same principles that Dr. King defended throughout his life and to upholding the timeless truth that our rights are not granted by government but endowed by Almighty God.”

What was Trump doing all day that he couldn’t recognize MLK Day until Monday night?

According to the AP, Trump spent the day golfing at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Then he watched the Indiana Hoosiers cap its undefeated season by beating the Miami Hurricanes 27-21 to win the national championship.

The fact that Trump’s MLK Day proclamation was almost an afterthought didn’t sit well with the NAACP.

USA Today reported NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement that “Donald Trump has zero interest in uniting this country or recognizing its history and diversity.”

He continued: “Instead, he wants to pit us against each other so that we don’t pay attention to the fact that his net worth has more than doubled while families lose their health care and access to essential services.”
