Trump on Juneteenth: US has ‘too many non-working holidays’
President Trump on Thursday — which marks Juneteenth, the newest addition to the U.S. holiday calendar — said the country is losing money due to the number of federal holidays.
“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
“The workers don’t want it either,” he added.
Government employees are traditionally given the day off on federal holidays while receiving pay.
Juneteenth, created to celebrate the freedom of enslaved Black Americans, was designated as a federal holiday in 2021 by former President Biden.
“Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote Thursday.
The president did not participate in any Juneteenth events or celebrations.
Biden, while in office, hosted a celebratory concert on the South Lawn with famous Black performers and invited a range of elected officials to attend the formal gathering.
This year, the former president participated in a commemorative event in Galveston, Texas.
Of course the real reason Trump is opposed to Juneteenth is because it's about black Americans. It's well established he is an unapologetic racist from his past refusal to rent to black people to his repeated calling for the execution of the Central Park Five, who were black, and he clung to calling them guilty even after DNA evidence confirmed the guilt of the real culprit. Of course the fact that it was Biden that designated the day as a holiday means Trump is also instinctively opposed to it, just as he is opposed to anything Obama did.

Damn, I still remember like it was yesterday how these Muricans were boasting about the dollar’s ongoing strength — like it was one of the few things they still had left standing in the middle of all that rot before the collapse. It seems that this is going away, too. What is next?
Yeah, wait, all this inflation from the Hormuz fallout to hit (which will probably be semi-permanent), resulting in even higher U.S. rates (due to even higher inflation), making the already apocalyptic debt situation and dollar outlook even worse. At this point, giving the U.S. another five years at this tempo feels way too optimistic.

Cheapskate compared with Ambani's son's wedding.
Oh that artificial face! Comparable to that of the former First Lady of South Korea.
