And frankly I have to say looking from the outside in, as Trump turns the holiday into a political rally, is going to be extremely bizarre.
It's normally one of my two favorite holidays (Thanksgiving is the other) but I won't feel like I'm missing out this year.

Enjoy your vacation!

Not this year.
