You know, bceause he thinks its an extra day on the golf course or at the Club? Not having anything to do with a solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary.

"Happy Good Friday" just seems off.

(22,982 posts)We went with the "good" in "good friday." I'm an atheist now and have no skin in the game.

(44,587 posts)As a Catholic, we're steeped in good ol' fashioned guilt pretty heavily so Good Friday is never one of those happy celebrations.

Just commenatry on Trump and his past weird postings related to events and holidays. His flock treats him as a man of faith and all he sees or knows is a day off.
