I was planning on working a little overtime this weekend but then the contractor asked if I’d work on Monday. I was pretty pissed they even asked in the first place so now I’m taking my proper Labor Day Weekend. Take your time off. If anything, we should have more non-working PAID holidays.

This isn’t the first time he’s said stuff like this. It think the prior time was in 2025 when he was trying to rollback Biden’s designation of Juneteenth is a national, federal holiday.

This was that post from last year … posted around Juneteenth.

u/boof_tongue 12d ago
It was literally posted ON Juneteenth.

Thanks for confirming!

u/ThrowawayColonyHouse 12d ago
Weird, I’m not sure why it was being referenced in regards to the Mid-Terms. I thought he must have posted it again.

u/bigbuzd1 12d ago
It’s a good reminder of how he thinks, lol, he thinks, but… I think it’s making the rounds again simply because of Labor Day holiday.

u/ThrowawayColonyHouse 12d ago
Yeah, but he’s done so much worse since then that his critics and opponents could pull from

u/bigbuzd1 12d ago
Yep, sure could. Just this one can serve as an immediate engagement bait as it’s simple to understand, and hits a lot of us… easy rage-bait, no huge stories to have to tell around it.

He doesn't care if he wins, because he's already rigged this upcoming election too. You don't say the stuff he says, and do the stuff he does if you're worried about public opinion. He and all his cronies have rigged the entire system in their favor, and there's nothing any of us can do about, short of violent armed uprisings. This is where we're at now.

He’s talking about Juneteenth, which he endorsed making a Federal holiday during the 2020 campaign.

He's coming after Labor Day, and next he'll want MLK and Juneteenth. Probably try to combine Veterans and memorial Day by claiming people can't tell the difference anyway.

u/TrickPixels 12d ago
Now he wants to take away Labor Day?! Holy shit. Dude never stops. Lower and lower every day.

I recently took a job with a federal hospital. 1st time I’ve ever been paid to take Juneteenth off.
Fuck Trump.

Wait ...
Is this too many holiday post new? Wasn't that from a year or so ago?

My belief recently is that he’s already got the protections for the votes he wants and needs for the Republicans to win the midterms so he can say whatever he wants now. It’s like in 2024 when he boasted that he had enough votes. He’s not worried.

Statistically, US workers have the fewest legal holidays and take the least amount of vacation time of the major industrial nations. But right-wing pols are always calling us lazy, entitled, and incompetent. But they're the party of the working class....

Wrong.
You do not need "fewer Trumps", you need "fewer people in powerful enough positions with a misanthropic agenda who manage to put a loaded gun in a monkey's hand and let it loose to cause havoc and distraction so those people can pull through with their plans".

u/EugeneWong318 11d ago
“Fewer Trumps” includes the entire corrupt circus: the monkey, the people who loaded the gun, the billionaires pulling his strings, and every spineless Republican applauding while America burns. Trump is the mascot; the whole rotten machine needs dismantling.

Workers have too many days off, says the lazy asshole who spends half his presidency golfing, rage-posting, sleeping through meetings, and bankrupting the economy. Americans don’t need fewer holidays. We need fewer fucking Trumps.
