Donald Trump’s world is full of inconsistencies and hypocrisy, and when it came to honoring Juneteenth — the commemoration of the end of slavery in the US — he instead moaned about how there are too many non-working holidays. Which is funny, because the president has reportedly spent a quarter of his time in office at the golf course.
When it served him, Trump used to honor Juneteenth every passing year during his first term. At one point, he even took credit for making the day more popular because of his annual recognition. But last year, he kept mum on the subject. This year, it quickly became a topic of discussion when midday had passed and the president hadn’t uttered a word about the holiday.
