President Donald Trump‘s complaint that there are “too many non-working holidays in America” has sparked a surprising response on his social media platform.
“It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday, the same day as Juneteenth National Independence Day, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
“The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
While Truth Social has many subscribers who are Trump supporters, his post received a largely negative response.
“You lost me here, Americans are already overworked and in many cases underpaid,” one user replied to Trump.
