Trump criticizes ‘non-working holidays’ on Juneteenth
(www.cnn.com)
Us normal people don't golf on the clock
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.
Orange fuck never worked a goddamn day in his miserable life.
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.
"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.
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
Because I'm working hard here trying to start World War 3
Like 4th of July?
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.
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...
Joke's on him, I've worked it every year for almost two decades.
When’s his next tee time?
The idea probably came to him while golfing.
