IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth
Did Trump just invent a new year-counting system, based on 1776? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm looking this up, and it appears that many previous executive orders have also used this.
Even Abraham Lincoln did it in the emancipation proclamation.
Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-seventh.
But the idea of an American calendar based on 1776 is still an awesome idea!

I like it. Before Freedom (BF) and After Freedom (AF).
Happy 244 A.F.!
So just like there's no year 0 in Christianity (it goes from -1 BC to 1 AD), I think we're designating 1776 as year 1. Happy 245 AF!
That would make July 4th the American New Years Day
Yes! It makes more sense to celebrate for the greatest human revolution than it does to celebrate.. what exactly? Switching the calendar?
Save ourselves a bundle on fireworks if they're only once a year
45 ! 45ths President
I hate how academics try to call BC before common era
It's just another attempt to scrub our history away and remove all reference to God.
I like how AF is both After Freedom and As Fuck.
245? As is 2 terms for President 45? ;D
Definitely a plus.
We Should use this from now on.
