Slobbo is silent about Juneteenth on a day he previously honored as president

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump honored Juneteenth in each of his first four years as president, even before it became a federal holiday. He even claimed once to have made it “very famous.”

But on this year's Juneteenth holiday on Thursday, the usually talkative president kept silent about a day important to Black Americans for marking the end of slavery in the country he leads again.

No words abAsked whether Trump would commemorate Juneteenth in any way, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “I’m not tracking his signature on a proclamation today. I know this is a federal holiday. I want to thank all of you for showing up to work. We are certainly here. We’re working 24/7 right now. ”out it from his lips, on paper or through his social media site.

Asked in a follow-up question whether Trump might recognize the occasion another way or on another day, Leavitt said, “I just answered that question for you.”

Are removing any reference to black achievements in our government and they are whitewashing the civil war, now renaming bases back to the names after the original traitors.

So acknowledging this day would have gone against the grain for these people. NO, Dolt 45 will let this day fade away without a single word, in another move to bring our nation together and making American great again.

He is total feces.
