    I’m surprised everyone here is missing the obvious: he’s racist AF. Juneteenth is the holiday celebrating when word of the end of the civil war and the emancipation proclamation reached Texas. Sure he’s a lazy billionaire, but I bet this is more about him thinking black people don’t deserve a holiday. It’s implied in there by him saying non-working, he’s thinking black people are lazy.

    Oh for fuck sake, every place that has gone to a four day work week has seen an_increase_ in productivity.

    As always, it’s about inflicting misery on others

      Trump has never worked a normal job. He has no idea how little work is actually done.

      No, it’s definitely also about the racism.

    Honestly I was amazed it wasn’t cancelled by executive order before and Trump’s birthday made a federal holiday.

    “Non-working holidays”? Does he know what a holiday is?

    Did he say this from a golf course?

      Probably heard it from some privileged douchey white guys while he was on the golf course.

      During my day off yesterday, I was joking with some friends about how I was surprised that Taco hasn’t already decreed that the holiday is cancelled.

      I wonder how much the likes of Pee-wee German just sit there and seethe about Juneteenth…

      From bosses and business owners (i.e., the only kinds of people he talks to or recognizes as people)

      Some racists don’t want the holiday, simply because of what it’s celebrating.
