2. What a jackass.

Could he be trying to co-opt the traditional May Day celebrations in America and world-over?

"Loyalty Day." This effer is getting creepier all the time.

[former9thward]

8. No, he is just complying with the law.

Just as Obama did.

In order to recognize the American spirit of loyalty and the sacrifices that so many have made for our Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 85-529 as amended, has designated May 1 of each year as "Loyalty Day." On this day, let us reaffirm our allegiance to the United States of America and pay tribute to the heritage of American freedom.

But since republican Comrade Casino is loyal to the russian mob scum who hold his debt and who perpetrated ACTS OF WAR* on the USA to steal the election for the republicans, being loyal to America and American democracy can only mean #resist the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and his Cabal of KGOP Cronies.

58. Other important dates every patriotic American should know:

June 14 -- The Donald's birthday
April 26 -- Melania's birtiday
October 30 -- Ivanka's birthday
December 31 -- Donald Jr.'s birthday
January 6 -- Eric's birthday
March 20 -- Barron's birthday

Double chocolate rations on all of those dates! (Of course, there IS no "chocolate ration" -- yet -- so you get two times nothing which is... nothing.)

Also, on these dates, you'll receive 1% off your two-week stay at one of the TrumpWorld resorts -- QueensWorld (relive the childhood of Your Favorite Person), NaziWorld (you, too, can have a cabinet position!), and DumbassWorld (a realistic depiction of Washington, D.C.).
