While Donald Trump honored Juneteenth during each of his first four years as president, he did not commemorate it this time, complaining instead that there are “too many holidays,” while his predecessor, Joe Biden, celebrated the occasion at a Black church in Texas.

This time, the president remained silent on a day important to Black Americans because it marks the end of slavery in the country he once again leads.

“There are too many holidays in America. Keeping all these businesses closed is costing our country billions of dollars,” Trump complained on Truth Social without explicitly mentioning Juneteenth.

“Working people don’t want it either!” he continued. “Soon we will have a holiday for every workday of the year. This has to change if we want to Make America Great Again!”

Even when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if Trump would commemorate Juneteenth in any way, she told reporters, “I’m not tracking his signing a proclamation today. I know it’s a federal holiday. I want to thank you all for coming to work. We’re certainly here. We’re working 24/7 right now.”

Juneteenth, which falls on June 19 every year, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and has long been celebrated by Black Americans.

It became the 11th federal holiday of 2021 with a law signed by then-President Joe Biden. The bill passed with broad bipartisan support, receiving unanimous approval in the Senate and nearly 14 votes in the House of Representatives.

Thus, most federal offices, such as the U.S. Postal Service, remained closed during Juneteenth. Markets such as the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange also did not trade during the holiday.
