Trump wouldn’t know who Guy Fawkes is. US Election Day falls on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. It’s just a coincidence it happens to be the 5th this year. My comment was mostly a direct reply to OP.
It’s apparently a hold over from olden times when good Christian farmers weren’t going to skip church to travel to the county seat and vote. So Monday is a travel day and Tuesday is when you vote. Or something like that.
Voting day and daylight savings time are the two immutable objects in American life.
Edit: and both are catering to farmers. Those and corn subsidies are the 3 immutable objects in American life, all catering to farmers.

Unless your George W Bush, in which case DST can be rescheduled by 2 weeks and cause everything with automatic time changes but no updates to be manually adjusted twice a year…
Valid point. In my head I was speaking of the existence of DST, not when it changed. But I did use the word “immutable”, so I guess I’m back to 2 of those - Tuesday voting and corn subsidies.
Nov 5th is election day.
Well, if that’s not foreshadowing. US Election Day = Guy Fawkes Day.

Why have it on a Tuesday? Why not on a weekend so more people aren’t at work?
Oh, yeah, that’s why.
