(The Hill) — President Trump said the country is losing money due to the number of federal holidays on Thursday, which marks Juneteenth, the newest addition to the U.S. holiday calendar.

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

“The workers don’t want it either,” he added.

Government employees are traditionally given the day off on federal holidays while receiving pay.

Juneteenth, created to celebrate the freedom of enslaved Black Americans, was designated as a federal holiday in 2021 by former President Biden. 

“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!” Trump wrote on Thursday.

The president did not participate in any Juneteenth events or celebrations.

Biden, while in office, hosted a celebratory concert on the South Lawn with famous Black performers and invited a range of elected officials to attend the formal gathering.

This year, the former president participated in a commemorative event in Galveston, Texas.
