Trump says Columbus Day will no longer honor Indigenous Peoples Day also

[Peacetrain]

Gob smacked!!

"President Donald Trump made clear Sunday that he would not follow his predecessor’s practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day in October, accusing Democrats of denigrating the explorer’s legacy as he pressed his campaign to restore what he argues are traditional American icons."

2. A number of states have designated that day as Indigenous Peoples' Day

and Trump can't do anything about that. I expected this reaction, though. Recognizing the Native people whose land Columbus' peeps stole is too DEI.

3. Frankly I'd be happy...

if we simply got rid of the holiday and moved Thanksgiving up to match Canadian Thanksgiving. -Although I live in northern New England, and that seems about right for a harvest festival.. Might not resound to someone from Texas.

4. Sounds like he has been talking to Steve Bannon again?

Flood the zone with bullshit.

5. More likely Stephen Miller.

He'd deport the Native people except for the fact that they were here first.
