On Sunday, President Donald Trump made it known that he would NOT be following in the woke footsteps of his predecessor by recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day, in October.
Former Democrat President Joe Biden was the first president to mark Indigenous Peoples Day, in an attempt to choke out Columbus Day and silence our history. He issued a proclamation in 2021 stating that “the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples” and recognize “their inherent sovereignty.”
Biden added that America “was conceived on a promise of equality and opportunity for all people” but that promise “we have never fully lived up to. That is especially true when it comes to upholding the rights and dignity of the Indigenous people who were here long before colonization of the Americas began.”
On Sunday, Trump announced on Truth Social, “I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes. The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much. They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but “WOKE,” or even worse, nothing at all!”
The president added, “Well, you’ll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback. I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!”
And just like that, we are back!
