The idea probably came to him while golfing.

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
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.
No, it's definitely also about the racism.
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.
Orange fuck never worked a goddamn day in his miserable life.
Is that megaman?
"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.
From the guy spending 25% of his presidency golfing. And that’s only the 25% of fucking around on the course, not the rest of the time he spends fucking off.
This is the party that wants every government worker to not have any remote work, yet cheer Taco on the golf course, costing Americans millions of dollars. They cannot wait to drop on their knees and service him, no matter how much it demonstrates their total hypocrisy.
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?
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....
Too close to his birthday /s
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.
Hm, I was wondering this very thing yesterday - would Taco show some kind of performative resentment toward this holiday? Or at least send out the likes of Pee-wee German to express the Republicans' white supremacy viewpoint?
And.....sure enough, here it is. Taco really is the walking, talking embodiment of the crusty old Angry White Man [*]. What's ridiculous is that Taco has no fucking good reason to be angry about anything, given his cushy and entitled life. I guess his daddy did a real number on him, but he can afford the therapy FFS.
I sure hope that Taco is the last gasp of the Angry White Man, at least as far as having any type of grip on America. I've been so sick of that phenomenon since at least the 90s.
[*] And like Chomsky said, a whole lot of white men have a really good reason to be angry given what was taken/withheld from them, but they are angry at the wrong things and the wrong set of people. However, nothing was withheld from Taco.
Because I'm working hard here trying to start World War 3
Joke's on him, I've worked it every year for almost two decades.
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.
Yep. This is the party that was constantly verklempt about how much Obama was golfing. Among the verklempt? Taco himself.
And now we don't hear all those Karens wringing their hands about Taco golfing. Not a fucking peep. Weird.
They DGAF if it's certain people taking a day off, just like they never really cared about the golfing. It is about what is being celebrated, and the idea that POC might be enjoying a day off (even if everyone else is, too) drives these assholes up the wall.
Just like they couldn't give a flying fuck about "history" when they are getting the vapors about statues of racist traitors being taken down, or having bases that were named after these racist traitors being renamed....these people have zero interest in an accurate history.
Probably heard it from some privileged douchey white guys while he was on the golf course.
During my day off yesterday, I was joking with some friends about how I was surprised that Taco hasn't already decreed that the holiday is cancelled.
I wonder how much the likes of Pee-wee German just sit there and seethe about Juneteenth...
Like 4th of July?
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.
