I have no words. Totally insane.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WDAF) — Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) announced Friday a proposed bill, the Establishment Act, which seeks to make President Trump’s birthday and Flag Day a federal holiday in the United States.

Trump’s birthday, falling on June 14, coincides with Flag Day — which acknowledges the adoption of the stars and stripes as the official U.S. flag in 1777.
