And then he went golfing. True story.
And he flew using US government plane. He has spent millions on just plane rides.
Who is wasting tax payer’s money.
Golf.
Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss’s house was?
They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
A lot less workers too to be fair (the plague more than did its work…), so it was a workers market
More holidays, but when you’re a subsistence farmer, those aren’t really days off, just days you don’t have to work for the rent.
And worked a lot less than 40 hours a week
well, worked less than 40hrs a week for an employer. They had a ton of shit to do at home, and if they weren’t married, doubly so.
My grandma used to tell me stories of how long it would take to forage for food before refridgerators
What a piece of shit post. He’s using the date to signal solidarity to his racist voters.
What do you mean?
He posted it on Juneteenth, i.e. the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.
That’s… I’m speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it “just” suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen “abuse and ridicule working people” spin on it. But it not about economic slavery… It’s about the acctuall slavery? That is… we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.
Thanks for the context.

“MAGA”
Thought slavery is still legal in the US…
Chattel slavery is illegal. It’s true that you can be enslaved, or at least enslaved in all but name and forced to work, as punishment for a crime. I.e. as part of your incarceration. This is per the 13th amendment.
I’m not enough of a legal eagle to explain what would happen or what your recourse would (or would not) be if you refused, though.
‘Best’ case scenario for refusing to be a prisoner slave is you would lose all “privileges”.
No yard time, probably placed into solitary. No commissary access - so things like soap and toothpaste would be withheld.
Food is also restricted to “basics” along the lines of bread and water.
Of course the reality is they will straight up torture you for not playing by their rules. Aka complete withholding of food and interaction and cleanliness as they either ‘forget’ you in solitary or just have an ‘accident’ with you.
It is.
14th13th amendment.
This was posted on Juneteenth.
I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.
I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I’d be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.
I doubt he notices a holiday TBH, it’s just the same as the previous day.
I’m sure the racist ghouls around him were complaining about Juneteenth.
yea, which is the only real reason he posted about it. It’s just a normal day for him, but he realized he can capitalize on it and make it a PR stunt like always
And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there…
This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.
Too bad they’ll still support him anyway…
Sounds like the WH chef staff ran out of chicken nuggies
Said the guy who spends 1/3 of his time golfing
Oh yes, all eleven federal holidays will turn into 365 real soon.

As a Pagan, if you want federal holidays to be secular then solstices and equinoxes couldn’t be counted. Many Pagans (not all) observe them as holy days along with Feb 1-2 (Imbolc), May 1 (Bealtaine - there are multiple spellings this one), August 1 (Lammas/Lughnasadh), and Halloween (Samhain). And I’m sure Pagans that celebrate non-European traditions have other days, I just can’t speak to them personally.
Secular doesn’t mean pagan.
Secular refers to things not religious or spiritual. Those days are religious holidays in various forms of Paganism which is an umbrella term for a set of religions/spiritual practices. If anybody wants truly secular holidays the equinoxes and solstices shouldn’t be included in that list.
(Edited to fix typo)
Secular means separate from religion. Any religion, including paganism. Equinoxes are as food a reason as any to enjoy some time with family.
He’s agreeing with you on secular. The parent poster said equinoxes should replace a religious holiday, and he’s saying that equinoxes are not strictly secular, they are religious at least with respect to paganism.
One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in the world. And that’s the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.
The only reason they don’t have a lower amount of mandatory paid vacation is because it is impossible to go below 0.
Don’t give them ideas.
If you want to prevent this from happening get involved in protests and contact your representatives. #nokings #50501
What a fucking moron along with all his voters
They need that tax revenue to make up for all the tax cuts for the wealthy.
It’s likely he doesn’t actually believe it, but instead he’s starting a disinformation campaign so that he can let his lackeys start to start doing some illegal shit because it will benefit him.
Nah, he is just that stupid. Doesn’t prevent his lackeys from using the distraction, of course, but he’s just that dumb.
I don’t mean to imply he’s not stupid. You gotta be really fucking dumb to say that at all. I just think he doesn’t care what he says, because the content of what he says is not important. It’s more of a method of controlling the conversation.
“the workers don’t want it”
The fuck we don’t
Imagine being this guy and trying to speak for the working class
All he has to do is to climb on a truck once and half of the country will believe he is a regular Joe. Critical thinking has left the building.
And having legal adults stop and think, “Hmm, maybe this day off thing IS kinda woke.”
Fellas, is it woke to like holidays?
That’s one of the fundamental strategies from the trump playbook: just claim the people want something and if it’s repeated loud and often enough, people will start to believe it. Hopefully not for something as egregious as this, but it has worked in the past.
