Trump:
Too Many Holidays?!

Jun 23, 2025

Instead of celebrating Juneteenth this year, Trump took to the Truth Social platform that he owns: “Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed….” “The workers don’t want it either,” he added. Working people were long overdue to have a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery. And so long as we still have wage-slavery, for bosses, most of us want and will take our well-earned holidays!
