Trump swears he “brings to Columbus a day” but never canceled

President Donald Trump said he “bringed Columbus Day out of his ashes” as part of his great attempt to colonize again.

“The Democrats do everything they can to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation and all the Italians who love him,” the president wrote Sunday. “They tore his statue, something that had nothing but 'wake' and even worse! Well, you're glad to know that Christopher will make a comeback. I'm here to restore Columbus Day, in the same rules, dates and places, as it has been over the past many decades!”

It's no surprise that Trump likes Columbus, given the current president's desire to colonize Greenland and Canada and make them part of the United States.

Despite what Trump said, Columbus Day is still a federal holiday, as decades have been observed on the second Monday of October. Some cities and states (including Alaska, Oregon, Vermont, and Seattle) formally recognized the days of Native People or Native American Day on the same day. According to Axios, many states do not celebrate both states.

Some parts of the United States have begun to question Columbus’ memorials, especially in light of the 2020 protests on racial justice, as explorers kill and enslaved native peoples among Hispanics. According to analysis Washington Post At least 40 Columbus monuments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been removed from public exhibitions in the United States, but as of October last year, there are still more than 130 monuments.

“Celebrating Columbus aims to eliminate us and ultimately celebrate our genocide,” Aboriginal rights activist Mahtowin Munro told The Indigenous Rights Activist postal.

President Joe Biden did celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day during his tenure, starting in 2021, proclaiming recognition of “the valuable contribution and resilience of Indigenous peoples” and recognizing “their inherent sovereignty.” But Biden also recognizes Columbus Day every year throughout the administration.

Last time in Congress, 67 democratic representatives and senators proposed and sponsored legislation to commemorate Indigenous Peoples Day in lieu of Columbus Day, but the bill did not vote.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt first declared Columbus Day a national holiday in 1934, and in 1937 it became a federally recognized holiday, thanks in large part to the lobbying of the Catholic Brothers Knights of the Columbus. Although Columbus's trip never reached North America, he became a symbol of colonization in the Americas and was the first European to land on the Caribbean Islands.

Given Trump's recent losses – the stock market has plunged news about his positive tariffs, and his inability to complete any trade deals, the historically poor number of polls, and the failed stocks he failed to reach a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, it's clear that he is seeking an easy victory. Restoring a federal holiday that has never been cancelled is undoubtedly one way to do this.
