Donald Trump says he's fighting back against the Left for all Italian people. Claims Democrats destroyed the reputation of Christopher Columbus. Columbus Day is still a federal holiday -- though some jurisdictions don't. Trump: I'll bring Columbus Day "back from the ashes" for all Italians.
President Donald Trump says Columbus Day will now just be Columbus Day. Trump made clear Sunday that he would not follow his predecessor’s practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day in October. Trump accused Democrats of denigrating the explorer's legacy as he pressed his campaign to restore what he argues are traditional days.
President Trump vowed to bring back Columbus Day ‘from the ashes’ in a fiery social media post where he railed against backlash to the controversial European explorer. “The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much. Well, you’ll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback.”
