NextImg:Trump On Juneteenth: There Are Too Many Holidays!

Too many non-working holidays are costing the United States “BILLIONS OF DOLLARS” and hindering the country from success, President Donald Trump exclaimed on Thursday.

Trump posted to his Truth Social account against non-working holidays, suggesting that neither employers nor employees liked them and that the United States was on track to make every day a non-working holiday. The president posted the message on Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of slaves in the United States.

“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! 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 posted.

Former President Joe Biden signed Juneteenth into law as a federal holiday on June 18, 2021. Biden conducted a signing ceremony at the White House in which he pushed for greater racial equity and bemoaned new laws on election integrity that were working their way through state legislatures.

“Folks, the promise of equality is not going to be fulfilled until we become real — it becomes real in our schools and on our Main Streets and in our neighborhoods — our health care system and ensuring that equity is at the heart of our fight against the pandemic; in the water that comes out of our faucets and the air that we breathe in our communities; in our justice system — so that we can fulfill the promise of America for all people. All of our people,” Biden said.

The bill received widespread bipartisan support in Congress. It passed the Senate unanimously. In the House, just 14 Republican lawmakers voted against it.

Biden’s signing ceremony marked the first time a new national holiday had been established since Martin Luther King Day, commemorating the civil rights leader’s birthday, became a national holiday in 1983.
