Happy Greek Independence Day ?????????????????
Link to tweet
“President Donald J. Trump Proclaims March 25, 2018, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy”
Did he mean the Ancient Greek Athenian Democracy ?!!!??
He brought the ignorance to a level of an art...
The Athenian democratic regime had much more to do with an authoritarian regime than a democracy as we define it now days !

Can we delete the next 7 months to get right in November ???

Donnie Short Fingers probably asked the Metropolitan, "so, this is the day you broke away from England too"?
I'd bet the only thing he knows about Greece is that they have smoking hot Miss Universe contestants.
I'm surprised he didn't ask the Metropolitan if he knows John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
