President Trump signs proclamation for National Pearl Harbor Day

Could have sworn this was done before, by at LEAST one other president not named Obama.

Spoiler alert: Dubya did it, too. GOOGLE IT before you get smug.

Edit: And for poops and chuckles, here's the official Congressional diddy about it, from 1994. Care to remind me who was president in 1994?

Exactly. The scientists knew what was going to happen. They'd done tests. They did the math. Can't say they couldn't imagine what that was going to do to a city.

Careful, lest you be accused of "bagging" Trump just because you point out this isn't exactly a new thing.

Pfft, it wasn't even a new thing when Dubya or Obama did it, it's just an annual ass-kissing reiteration for a forgetful public. If anyone gets butthurt over pointing that out, tough. They can have some salve.

First Jerusalem and now this, does he have no shame. Doesn't he know a career politician doesn't do these kind of things..

Obama did it first.

this just in. trump declares water is wet and people eat it up.

this is a funny thread. post an OP thinking trump is doing some 1st time #.

hahahaha

i also like how everything gets spun in his favor with his trumpets.
they look at trump doing this in front of the cameras as amazing... LOOK AT WHAT HE IS DOING!!!! its so great.

they never even give 1 second of thought to the fact that he may just be doing this as a photo op to pat himself on the back and make him look #in awesome to his trumpets.
not everything the president does needs to be turned into a photo OP.

its great though.
this proclamation??? been done but its posted as new #
HE IS MOVING THE EMBASSY... right now first time #...

oh wait he signed the 6 month extension just like every other president for the last 25 years

he keeps pulling the wool over the eyes of his own trumpets and they love him for it

very strange

I can't wait for Trump to call Jan 1'st the observed New Year!

Excellent.
2nd Line

He must have decided to do this immediately after he reneged on giving the full steam on the US embassy in Israel, you know in the theme with carrying on the same stuff Obama and past presidents have done

More regurgitated BS for Trump drones to eat up while conveniently not remembering actual history. They have become what they accused the liberals of being. ( I Say they, but I mean WE , because I am a libertarian conservative, I just drink much more water than any of the kool-aide)

Why this never happened before, I don't know. All sorts of crazy things are declared to be reason for some holiday, but this wasn't until now?

Nice move on his part.

Read the whole thread..it has happened before, Bush and Obama did the same..but somehow Trump doing it is extra special

Do we have links for that? Did they simply acknowledge the day, or actually declare it a national holiday? Seriously asking, as I haven't looked into this.

a reply to: LadyGreenEyes

I believe, there was info in this thread.
Maybe I'll look.

I found this..Shamrock posted it, looks like Obama did the same in 2013, and 2016, another poster noted that Bush also did this..found a story about him(Sr) doing it as vice pres at least
