Well, one person was noticeably quiet throughout the day — President Donald Trump. His silence prompted reporters to question the White House's stance on Juneteenth during the daily press briefing. "Does the president plan to commemorate the holiday at all or make any comment?" one reporter asked.

President Donald Trump's complaint on Juneteenth that there are "too many non-working holidays in America" has sparked a surprising response on his social media platform. Trump said it was costing the country "$BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed" on federal holidays in a post on Truth Social on Thursday.
