Imagine running a large company that you inherited from your relatives. Now, that company is about to turn 100 years old, so the marketing division puts out a "Centennial Celebration" campaign. If you're smart enough to run a big company, then you should know what a centennial means, right? Well, this week's idiot is running more than that, and certainly didn't know what it meant. Definition: CENTENNIAL: A centennial is a 100th anniversary or otherwise relates to a century, a period of 100 years.
Here's the story.
On centennial coins, Trump struggles with how time works
Nov. 26, 2019 MSNBC
On Nov. 26, 2019, Pres. Trump signed the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, which directs the Treasury to issue a commemorative coin to honor the 100th anniversary of American women getting the right to vote. After signing the measure – which passed both the House and Senate unanimously – the president decided to take a moment to reflect on what he considered important: his own awesomeness.
“I am curious why wasn’t it done a long time ago and also, well, I guess the answer to that is because now I am president and we get things done.Trump wondered why other presidents didn’t sign the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, In this country, the women’s suffrage movement led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1919, and its ratification in 1920. In Jan. 2020, that was 100 years ago.
“We get a lot of things done that nobody else got done.”
No one tried to honor the centennial of this because – and this is important – centennials mark the hundredth anniversary of things. In order to recognize the centennial of something that happened in 1920, we had to wait until around 2020, because that’s how time works.
