Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It's a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn't want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.

I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?

He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that don’t give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.

His voters love the taste of the boot and the democrats are so shitty that most people just don’t bother to vote

Says the obese pig to whom EVERY day is a holiday and a reason to golf. I never knew that POTUS was a part time position. America is fucked if there's ever a crisis before 11:00am, on a week end, or on a golfing day......

Go play golf and change your diaper grandpa, you’re getting crabby.

Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.

I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!

Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.

Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year

Damn! Not that the whole bleat isn't awful, but that's one of the stupidest sentences ever in ALL of the ways! 🀦
