[September 3, 2:15 PM] TRUMP HOLIDAY COMMENTS RESURFACE - A 2025 Truth Social post criticizing non-working holidays and saying business closures cost the country billions is circulating again; the statement is not new. ⬇️

A past statement from President Donald Trump about federal holidays is circulating again online. In a June 2025 Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the United States has too many non-working holidays and claimed that keeping businesses closed costs the country billions of dollars.

The circulating version also paraphrases the position as saying workers would rather be working than staying home. That should be understood as Trump's argument, not an established fact about all workers or the economy.

CNN reported in June 2025 that Trump was calling for fewer federal holidays and examined the economic question. This post is a current summary of a resurfaced 2025 statement, not a report that Trump made a new holiday announcement today.
