President Donald Trump took his sweet time issuing a proclamation honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Trump, 79, didn’t acknowledge the federal holiday dedicated to the civil rights hero until Monday evening, nearly becoming the first president to skip an MLK Jr. Day proclamation. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
“As President, I am steadfastly committed to ensuring that our country will always be guided by the same principles that Dr. King defended throughout his life and to upholding the timeless truth that our rights are not granted by government but endowed by Almighty God,” the proclamation reads.
