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. Do 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.

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