President Donald Trump called for fewer federal holidays on Thursday. “Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Juneteenth. Is there any truth to his comments? Yes and no.
It’s lost in nobody what day he choose to say it. And how many days of his two terms has he spent at HIS golf course? And how many req holidays/days off do American workers get vs any other first world countries?
So true even though Americans work more than most country, they should stay off trump’s golf courses while he is spending all his time there
The article doesn’t even say how many federal holidays there are in the US, or make any international comparisons. This is, in my view, a poor article.
Racist, sexist Oligarchy wants us working more hours for less money until they can kill us with taxes, no healthcare, etc. And Corporate Media will help them with propaganda to call the peasants lazy. We peasants should stop consuming their product and advertisers.
Says the man whose golf days cost the taxpayers millions…
He said it on Juneteenth, because he’s a racist
Not gonna read, but have you told your readers he said that just because he is a big fat racist or not?
This MF knows exactly what he’s doing. He wants to bring slavery back. 🖕🏻💩🤬🤡👊🏻
Let’s reduce the number of golf holidays paid by taxpayer dollars including secret service. A few of those would make up the difference.
Keep the golf courses open for God’s sake
What about golfing days?
stfu, CNN. seriously, you suck.
Did you all just sanewash his transparently racist post?
Of course they did🤦🏻♂️
I think we should have as many holidays as drump has golfing days, whatdoyou think??
Fascist laundering CNN.
Criminal Trump has gone golfing more than others during their time in office.
Any public holiday means less production, so yes he is right, unless the production continues throughout with a shift system. But th loss is minimal compared with the amount Trumps lost the US
Americans... did you actually elect this clown to be your President??? "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!"
What a BS article from CNN. It's was very clear that Trump meant that Juneteenth shouldn't be a holiday. You took a racist statement from Trump and analyzed it as if it was about economics.
Get to work slaves, is what he means.
Our fellow Americans already have not enough days to relax and decharge from stress in the middle of firings and the freaks like DOGE, Elon, nazi lovers, etc., what the HECK is too many holidays??
Good God y'all... Juneteenth is literally the only federal holiday he's said this about. Your job is to figure out where the truth is in the noise, not find the mid-point between the truth and whatever the fuck comes out of his mouth.
What happened to CNN
Fuck you CNN. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB and call out this racist bullshit.
He's still mad the USA ended slavery.
He only says this about Juneteenth. "non-working holidays" He's clearly implying that black people are lazy and don't want to work, which is a decades-old GOP core belief and dog whistle. Please just call it out for what it is.
The guy who takes three day weekends to golf at his resort, costing taxpayers millions. $$$ ✔️Security to watch Mar a Lago while he golfs $$$ ✔️Taxpayers pay for the security resort rooms and their food that he pockets$$$ ✔️Fuel for Air Force One $$$
His rounds of golf are costing us too much
This guys has golfed more days this year already than most people take for vacations in 3 years. America, are you not exhausted by this clown?
OK. Let's do this. Let's keep Juneteenth and dump Christmas. The god people aren't pulling their weight. They're not deserving. Black people are.
No
Otherwise there would be no news to tell...🤥
So you're as racist as he is, gotcha
Did the Fucker state that from the golf course? #lolX
This is what a dictatorship looks like
Is it too much to ask @cnn.com to at least cite the studies the reference? I'm guessing it is papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... by Lucas Rosso and Rodrigo Andres Wagner. I know relative to the blind eye the story turns to the inherent racism in Trump's comments is the bigger issue, but still.
He means less of those Black holidays. Are we great yet?
It's funny he doesn't say that on memorial Day.
What do workers think? Trump said they didn't want more holidays.
It's funny when rich guys and CEOs whine about paid holidays while they take the most time off.
Hey CNN, why is Trump upset about Juneteenth? Wanna take a wild guess?
Lamestream mediocrity combined with criminal government = popular uprising.
Why even give this lazy fat fuck publicity? Never worked a job in his felonious fucked life. Sooner he disappears the better.
How many days has this orange moron spent at the golf course since his most recent inauguration? 🤔 (Not really a complaint - every day spent out of office is a day he does not actively harm the US.)
No.
He’s actually extremely stupid in business and has only won off grifts, short changing contractors, and out-and-out corruption. This slab of smegma has never known whats best for anyone
Smh
Looking forward to him working through Thanksgiving. Oh, not THAT holiday?….
This tub of shit has how many rounds of golf thus far?
ICE is closing businesses.
Holidays on Thursdays? I wonder if he's thought about the fact that many African-Americans may see and consider Juneteeth as their 'Thanksgiving' Day. What an orange turd of a person and president.
Says the indolent orange criminal
How many tax dollars are being spent on golf outings?
Also, no more nonsense b.day parades for the lunatic!
Does that mean less golf time for the orange turd? He has some nerve complaining about cutting costs 🤬 dumb as fuck, forever!
"President Donald Trump, who has spent over $50 million in taxpayer dollars and 1/3rd of his current term golfing, called for fewer federal holidays on Thursday" Fixed it
When has this fuck ever worked a day in his pathetic life?
Why? So he can make room for his birthday.
Is CNN both-sidesing the rise of federally sanctioned white supremacy in 🇺🇸 for financial gain? Yes and no.
You guys need MORE holidays. If some of ye were a bit more relaxed ye might calm down and enjoy life. Happy people don’t shoot each other.
This was one of those posts which remind Europeans of the astonishing lack of paid and public leave Americans get. Chilled-out countries do tend to be less violent.
As opposed to his 44M dollar parade and the millions he has spent already on his golfing!? Are people really that brainwashed in the US?
Oh no, the Republican war on Christmas.
What a coincidence that his post just happened to be on Juneteenth, right?!🤷🏻♀️
So publically funded golf days are ok ?
Everyone knows what that post was really about.
So tax cuts for the rich and a fewer holidays? I don’t want to pay income taxes ever again.
Wtf CNN? Read the g.d. room.
Come on CNN! Talk about white-washing, sane-washing, etc. Do your jobs and report on the obvious fact that our president is racist, demented, and just plain terrible in almost every possible way.
Yes
He’s FOS!
To the laziest president in history, I can only respond: DEEZ NUTZ
And how many days off does he take to go golfing?....
On a related note he's not going to take so many golfing vacations. Oh..wait. .
47 is looking for any distraction he can get. MAGA needs the low hanging fruit to vent
Why are you treating Trump inane comments and cognitive issues as normal but if Biden had farted it’s a national emergency.
Says the guy who golfs 4 days a week.
Ooooh that’s some high quality white washing you racist mothafuckas are doing. Additionally, the picture should have been of your racist boy Donald golfing….. again…. on the taxpayers dime.
What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich, old white man yelling, “work harder!”
WTF
Pathetic CNN…just pathetic
What a hoot! The federal holidays he has railed against are in honor of black Americans including MLK Jr. and Juneteenth. Funny how he expressed this once again on a day celebrating the last slaves learning they were freed. Pattern of racism?
You’re saying “On Thursday” like it was any other day. Why aren’t you pointing out that he said this on Juneteenth—a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery and holds deep significance for Black Americans? It’s not just a detail—it’s the context. And ignoring it feels deliberate. Do better.
Just not gonna acknowledge the timing of making that statement on Juneteenth, because the media is a handmaiden of fascism.
What DO you CARE you playing gold half the week anyways!!!
God forbid a working man ever get a holiday on a feckin' Thursday man. Fuck bIllIonS oF dOlLaRs. I want sanity of mind.
It was a racist post by Trump. Show me other holidays he’s said the same thing…
He’s senile and trying to deflect attention away from all the chaos he’s created
We need way more
Good lord, easy unfollow after this headline.
Fuck Jake Tapper
Thanks for that disturbing mental image, but I'd rather not... 😂
Really rich people are such cheap bastards.
Says the man who spends his time golfing...
Ooooh. How does hate work?
The president who has never worked.
The white supremacist who happens to be POTUS bitched about a perceived black holiday.
Fuck you CNN! Why not report this as a news story headlining the racist reason this shit bag posted this? Instead of framing it as an opinion poll. Why don’t you and your fascist enabling employees (Tapper and Jennings) just go away.
Maybe it’s cuz I live in Vegas, a literal 24 hour town, but please tell me what was closed on Juneteenth. Nothing. The answer is nothing.
3 guesses which ones he wants to get rid of, and the 1st 2 don’t count. Hint: it ain’t Columbus Day.
