Trump Slams Juneteenth: A Clear Rebuke of Wasteful Federal Holidays

By the Angry Republican Gazette

President Donald Trump delivered a fiery rebuke of the Juneteenth federal holiday, calling it another example of wasteful government overreach that hurts American businesses and workers. “Too many non-working holidays in America,” Trump declared. “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!”

The message is loud and clear to those tired of the left’s obsession with symbolic gestures and its refusal to address real economic issues. Forced federal holidays disrupt productivity and put small businesses—the backbone of America—in a straitjacket of unnecessary regulations. Trump’s blunt remarks serve as a rallying cry to restore sanity and remind policymakers that prosperity is built on consistently working days, not on politically charged celebrations.

The liberal media, of course, twisted Trump’s remarks, framing them as insensitive rather than economically sound. But the facts are clear: forced federal holidays disrupt productivity, strain small businesses, and ultimately hurt the very workers the left claims to protect. While the Biden administration boasts about Juneteenth as a symbol of “progress,” Trump rightly recognizes it as another unnecessary burden on a struggling economy.

The arrogance of the left is further exposed by their sudden infatuation with Juneteenth—a holiday they largely ignored for decades. Barack Obama, the so-called “first Black president,” never once gave a major speech or even tweeted about Juneteenth during his eight years in office. And now, under Biden, it’s been hoisted as a national priority—perfect for furthering a divisive racial agenda. Even Biden himself has shown a woeful lack of understanding about the holiday, once famously confusing it with the Tulsa Massacre in 2020.

And let’s not forget Biden’s embarrassing Juneteenth appearance last year, where he froze like a zombie at the White House event. Is this the leadership the left wants to celebrate? A man who can barely string a sentence together, let alone justify another costly holiday?

Trump’s America-first policies are a breath of fresh air in a system increasingly burdened by superfluous regulations and virtue-signaling. While the liberal elite push for more days off—days that shrink paychecks and cripple businesses—the message from behind the podium is clear. American prosperity won’t be built on an endless calendar of holidays; it will be built on hard work, job creation, and a commitment to putting American workers first.
