Twitter users have attempted to hijack the hashtag #HappyBirthdayMrPresident, currently trending on Donald Trump’s 73d birthday, and turn it into a mockery. While Trump is spending his special day by carrying out the presidential routine, namely a lunch with the secretary of state, a meeting with the secretary of education, and talking to the press about health coverage for small businesses, many have decided to make sure that no-one clicking on the hashtag will understand who it is that has a special day on 14 June.
Instead, they preferred to congratulate former President Barack Obama, who is born in August, and wish him a very early happy birthday.
Well, since "Happy Birthday Mr. President" is trending, I'll just use this opportunity to wish President Obama an EARLY happy birthday.

There were even those who mockingly changed the #HappyBirthdayMrPresident to #JohnMcCainDay, referring to a late Republican opponent of Trump.
On #JohnMcCainDay, I remember when Democrats and Republicans could be DECENT to each other.

That time John McCain corrected one of his supporters, and spoke up for Obama, told me all I needed to know about him.
