On Juneteenth, President Trump says America has "too many non-working holidays"
President Trump appeared to mark Juneteenth — a day he has commemorated in the past — by arguing businesses are closed for "too many non-working holidays."
Says the guy where every day can be a day off if he chooses it to be.
Remember when he said after Obama had been golfing, that when he became president, he wouldn't have time to go golfing. And then as president he golfed more in a month than Obama did his entire 8 year presidency!Anyone who trusts Trump on anything he says is a moron. Most European countries have twice the non working holidays USA has, and typically 5 weeks paid holiday. In USA all the privileges are to the employer, and the stupid Americans accept it? 🤦♀️
Many people are saying, very smart people, the best, that I’ve played more golf as president than anyone else. And let me tell you, it’s true. Nobody has ever golfed this much, believe me. Obama? Tiny golf. Biden? Sad golf. But me? Tremendous golf. Historic golf. Some say I’ve saved the game of golf, while also running the country, better than anyone, by the way. So really, when you think about it, all this golfing? A huge sacrifice for America.
And the fake news won’t report that I only golf to make deals, beautiful deals, with very important people. Sometimes Putin, sometimes Netanyahu, very good golfer, by the way.

near the end of the clip:
"and now you're going to die, wearing that stupid little hat."
I wonder if he went golfing yesterday
24.5% of his presidency spent golfing so far. More than any other president, just counting his first term no less.
Remember when right wing media tried to paint Obama in a negative light on golfing, despite going less than Bush?
He did, in fact.
Anyone else remember when Trump suggested in 2020 that Juneteenth should be a national holiday?
If Republicans are the party of Lincoln, and they freed the slaves, then shouldn't they be proud of how "woke" they are?
No? Maybe it's because the Republicans of today are running off of a totally different ideology and they only like to say positive things about minorities when it is in their best interests.
Bit rich coming from one of the laziest men on the planet.
He's pissed that he has to pay extra his golf caddies if he plays during holidays
Holy dog whistle, Batman!
Of course Donald Trump hates Juneteenth.
In 2021, Joe Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday:
US President Joe Biden signed The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act in the White House on Thursday 17 June to formally recognise Juneteenth as a national holiday.
Mr Biden said: "Great nations don't ignore their most painful moments. We come to terms with the mistakes we made. And remembering those moments, we begin to heal and grow stronger."
The United States is tied with Vietnam for fewest number of minimum National holidays on Earth.
He says from the golf course.
There really aren't that many. Even once a month is not that much, and we don't even get that.
This man hasn't truly worked for a day in his life.
Christmas should be the first removed. It’s a day for worshipping a spiritual being many don’t believe in.
Gimme back muh solstice! I'll worship the dark with whiskey and chocolate and maybe some beef.
Wtf does Christmas have to do with religion?
Nothing at my house lol, just another excuse to eat and drink.
According to some scholars, the emperor Aurelian instituted in AD 274 the festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti ('birthday of the Invincible Sun') on 25 December,[53] the date of the winter solstice in the Roman calendar.[54]
Funny how Constantine moved the Sabbath to Sunday at the same time he founded the Roman Catholic Church, and a lot of what Jesus taught seems to have been totally reinterpreted very conveniently
Why doesn’t he just come out and say that he would prefer it if Black people were still enslaved?
Almost nobody outside of government jobs and banks actually gets holidays like this off. (So you know, mostly white collar white people) What a fucking joke.
It mostly just fucks with working people's pay schedules, direct deposits, and when they can cash their check.
Government includes DoD; theres a lot of non-white-collar work under that umbrella.
Its still almost nobody that actually gets federal holidays off.
Like those weekdays where he goes golfing?
He does not work so he would not know.
If you have a job where you have to work with coworkers, vendors, or suppliers that are outside of the US, you quickly learn that Americans work hard as hell, and usually don’t get a much downtime as other countries.
Americans get exploited much, it's why they have the most mega corporations that are rich at expense of all the workers in it. Except the higher up execs.
Fuck off. Asshole.
“Now I’m off to my golf course for a week to relax”
...has this man ever worked?...
