I’ve read all of your briefs and still conclude that the issue here is that the sitting (if impeached) president believes this is his holiday.

Perhaps he thinks it’s all about him?
Is this a serious question?

How does one even “celebrate” Presidents’ Day? Bake a cake bust of George Washington? Recite stories about the founding of the Republic? Reenact Johnson’s impeachment trial with you and 100 of your closest friends?

Surely the plural form, President’s Days, would be worse?

I Imagine he expects his staff to bring him presents as well.

I talk to my son about the history of the country and sacrifices made, and why it’s important to vote.
Pretty much the same as the Fourth of July, but without the fireworks.

Actually, everyone above is wrong, including Trump.
According to US Code § 6103(a), title 5 the day is still recognized under federal law as Washington’s Birthday.

Sure, but “happy”? Is that sensible? Would you say “happy memorial day”? “Happy martin luther king day”?
I think the error here is that you expected sensible.

Au contraire.
Not being a USian, I note that the post says P Day celebrates the first president, George Washington.No idea if this is correct. But if it is, then President’s would be fine - one president being celebrated = apostrophe s. If it is a celebration of multiple/all presidents then Presidents’, obviously.
I think that’s supposed to be Washingtons’ Birthday.
Although Washington’s’ Birthday is also acceptable now.

I was taught that the day was a combination of Washington’s birthday and Lincoln’s (just a week or so apart) being moved to a single ‘3rd Monday in February’ holiday (and thus was s’).
I hate to disappoint by giving the impression that I could be wrong…

Well, undoubtedly there were many Washingtons born on this day
