June 14 is Trump’s birthday.
It's not uncommon for former presidents' birthdays to be commemorated with a holiday. In 2017, Illinois enacted a measure designating Aug. 4, Obama's birthday, as "Barack Obama Day."
June 14 is also Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States of America on June 14, 1777.
Last month, Anthony Sabatini, a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, proposed renaming a long stretch of U.S. 27 in Florida after former President Trump.
