Anyone have a guess about why trump posted this today of all days?

Too many none-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!

Soon you'll see a push for an 80-hour work-week,
no break time at work, and way fewer holidays.

Ever looked at Congress and Senate work days per year, or how many golf 3 day weekends we pay for so he can win all the tournaments, by a landslide?
“Mandated” time off.

country. It's not like we haven't seen this before, but mostly in a Dickens story, or prior to the Civil War and during the carpet bagger days.

Every goddamn thing was open today, even where I work. This was not a "non working" Holiday.

I'd like to know his stance on Chick Fila always being closed on Sunday. OMG, how will we survive this?

Can this fucker SAY ANYTHING that isn't cringe?

The awful grammar and punctuation means that he actually wrote it himself. That’s a rarity lately.

Has more days off and they are still "great".

Look at France for one.

And which holidays would he get rid of? Today, Juneteenth, MLK Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day?

Most of us were lucky to get Memorial, Independence, and Labor Days off - along with Thanksgiving & Christmas. The last two are the only ones retail workers get & that seems to be fading away.

If he had the power, he would cancel any federal holidays involving minorities.

Seriously, what worker wouldn't want a paid day off or working for double the pay.

But today, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery, is too much to ignore for Mierda47.
I'm betting that before 2028 election, he will cancel Juneteenth Holiday.
