On Twitter:
Sorry, but in good conscience I can’t celebrate Presidents Day. #BiteMeMillardFillmore #YouKnowWhatYouDid

It’s difficult to gauge the irony level here, as maybe he just hates Millard Fillmore. But as evidence of libertarian sincerity, I note that Yankovic did record this song:
UPDATE:
WH writes to point out that Weird Al has a history of skepticism toward our dear leaders:
“Check out his song ‘Party in the CIA’
Here are the lyrics from the last verse:”Need a country destabilized?
Look no further, we’re your guys!
We’ve got snazzy suits and ties,
And a better dental plan than the FBI’s!Better put your hands up and get in the van,
Or else you’ll get blown away!
Staging a coup like yeah,
Brainwashing moles like yeah,
We only torture the folks we don’t like,
You’re probably gonna be OK
