But only the US celebrates it as "Independence Day." I refer to the holiday only as Independence Day. Otherwise, it's like saying, "Merry December 25th!" or "Happy January 1st!"

Of course they do. Otherwise July 3rd and 5th would slam together. They just don't celebrate it.

Why don’t we call it what some Brit’s call it. Treason Day. Trump has committed treason so many times I lost count.
