Trump EO will bring back Columbus Day! Only one problem...

I agree. When I read it I wondered if the author realizes how close the Bahamas are to Florida. Not to mention Cuba, just 90 miles from my hometown, Key West.

I think Trump, with this absolutely ridiculous EO, is sucking up to the Catholics and the Italians.

 

It's official name of the holiday is and has always been Columbus Day. Some states refer to the holiday as Indigenous Peoples Day but that's not Trump's call. For every Federal purpose the name was never changed. His EO is a meaningless stunt. Next he will issue an EO declaring Christmas a federal holiday as part of the conservative media's war against the mythical war against Christmas. FYI Christmas is and has always been a federal holiday.

 

Well, he did get people saying Merry Christmas again. All by himself. I mean, no one was saying it and just POOF!, he changed all that. Remember?

 

Populism is just so annoying. Constant things like this that add 0 value to our lives, but makes his base happy simply due to it irritating the people they hate.

Just so discouraged that so many Americans can be duped like this.

 

Transgender athletes are no longer breaking into my home and assaulting me.

 

I mean no one says he landed in the United States. He landed in the new world. Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, Central America, Northern parts of South America. No one thinks he landed on Myrtle Beach.

 

Perhaps, but holding onto traditions is part of what bonds nations through generations.

 

You think that a post on Truth Social about a divisive historical figure is going to bond our nation together by tradition? Columbus is controversial which is why the red hats love him so much.

 

Don't confuse them with facts... you could be guilty of hurting them.
