Trump says Columbus Day will no longer honor Indigenous Peoples Day also

Gob smacked!!

"President Donald Trump made clear Sunday that he would not follow his predecessor’s practice of recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day alongside Columbus Day in October, accusing Democrats of denigrating the explorer’s legacy as he pressed his campaign to restore what he argues are traditional American icons."

and Trump can't do anything about that. I expected this reaction, though. Recognizing the Native people whose land Columbus' peeps stole is too DEI.
