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 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 same liberal outlets now praising Juneteenth ignored it 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. Suddenly, under Biden, it’s a national priority—conveniently timed to push a divisive racial narrative. Even Biden himself didn’t seem to understand the holiday, famously confusing it with the Tulsa Massacre in 2020.
Joe Biden doesn't know what Juneteenth is:
"He’s going down to Texas on Juneteenth, right? The first major massacre … of the Black Wall Street, right?"
1. President Trump is going to Texas today, not June 19
2. Juneteenth is about emancipation
3. The massacre was in Oklahoma pic.twitter.com/vpNDQLwqBj— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 11, 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?

Meanwhile, Trump’s America-first policies prioritize economic growth, job creation, and real prosperity—not symbolic gestures that shut down businesses. The liberal media would rather virtue-signal than admit the truth: workers want paychecks, not more forced days off that shrink their earnings.
In all fairness to BarryO, Juneteenth was never heard of until recently.
The 13th Amendment officially ended slavery in December 1865. June 19th, 1865 was just the date that a Yankee officer landed in Galveston and advised the population there that slavery was unofficially over. No reason to be a national holiday. Either January 1st, 1863, the date the Emancipation Proclamation became official; or December 18th, 1865 should be the holiday
