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

When’s his next tee time?
If he’s going to say this then I at least expect our “lazy asses” to get back to work on the 4th of July.
Joke's on him, I've worked it every year for almost two decades.
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.
I think it's even worse than that: he wants black people to get back to the "work" the holiday was about emancipating them from.
Where did he hear that no one wants them?
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.
"Non-working holidays"? Does he know what a holiday is?
Did he say this from a golf course?
He wants all holidays to be treated like National Cheesecake Day. Something that the radio DJ announces as the peons drive to work.
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
No, it's definitely also about the racism.
Trump has never worked a normal job. He has no idea how little work is actually done.
Yup. Worse, his actions and his words expose the fact that he is consumed with hatred, for everyone and everything, including himself. But, as an added bonus in his piggy little eyes, he equates carrying my misery with profit for himself.
Orange fuck never worked a goddamn day in his miserable life.
Wasn't he trying to add two more holidays like a month ago?
Yep! Gee, I wonder what it is about this holiday in particular that has Trump so upset? Hmm....
Nobody gives a shit what that walking corpse thinks
Nearly half the country gets erect when he talks. So, while you and I don’t care… a sad amount of people do. That’s how we got in this mess.
Let's be fair only about 33% of the country gets erect.
An additional 15% support him because they are convinced democrats eat babies. This group goes back and forth on whether or not they like his policies, but ultimately support them.
Then about 5-10% cannot make up their mind, and flop back and forth. Typically if this group thinks the economy is good they side with the incumbent if they think it is bad they side with the other side.
Let's be fair only about 33% of the country gets erect.
😂 viagra joke somewhere in there.
But that’s 47% who would ultimately support him. Regardless of an erection.
Like 4th of July?
Because I'm working hard here trying to start World War 3
