On the day of Juneteenth, Donald Trump said on Truth Social that too many days off hurts the economy, costing billions, and mocked that employees don't want so many breaks. In contrast, Joe Biden expressed pride in proclaiming Juneteenth a federal holiday, emphasizing its importance in commemorating the end of slavery. Juneteenth, which became an official holiday in 2021, is the 11th federal holiday. The White House did not comment on Trump's statements, and a spokeswoman acknowledged the holiday. Trump's irony contradicts his previous support for including Juneteenth as a national holiday.
