Trump on Juneteenth: US has 'too many non-working holidays'

Source: The Hill

06/19/25 7:54 PM ET

President Trump said the country is losing money due to the number of federal holidays on Thursday, which marks Juneteenth, the newest addition to the U.S. holiday calendar.

“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 on Thursday. The president did not participate in any Juneteenth events or celebrations.

But remember "Price of eggs", "Kitchen table issues", "Working class".

Who's "losing money?" You or the guys in the Billionaire Boys Club?

Call to all Trump supporters, remember-you are paying for AF One to shuttle Donald to his golf courses how many times a year @ $3.4 MILLION every trip.

Any feed back on Scandinavian Social Democracy:
Six weeks paid vacation
Nine month to one year family/parent leave
Every holiday extended from one day to 3-4.5 days.
Qualified students free higher education
Universal Health Care

NO IT IS NOT COMMUNISM.
