The Worst Thing Trump Did on 4/27/25

He says he wants to bring back Columbus Day.

1) Presidents don't bestow holidays.  

2) Congress does, and they have never rescinded Columbus Day. Columbus Day is still the official Federal Holiday

3) Many states and over 200 cities have replaced it with Indigenous Peoples' Day, and how he feels he can force them to only focus on praising Columbus remains to be seen.

Columbus wasn't the first person to "Discover" the North American continent. The Native population had been here for thousands and thousands of years, and just skipping past that to make a whitey folk hero in Columbus is pathetically racist.  It also should be mentioned that people from eastern Asia clearly knew of Alaska, and likely got to the West Coast of Canada, if not the lower 48. The Scandinavians actually had settlements reaching far down the northeastern side of North America. Also, the Island Nations of the Pacific seemed to be familiar with the western side of the South American continent. 

Columbus was HORRIBLE! Remember, he did ALL OF THESE horrible things:

  • Enslaved thousands of innocent people
  • Demanded that they mine gold for him
  • He cut off Native people's ears to stoke fear.
  • He killed Native people when it was more convenient than untying them.
  • He kidnappped native women for the sole purpose of giving them to his crew to be raped.
  • He even tortured Spanish settlers on the islands.
But let's focus on one horrific crime.  I want every person who romanticizes Columbus to remember this. HE ALLOWED 9 AND 10-YEAR-OLD GIRLS TO BE SOLD AS SEX CURRENCY, BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY WERE WORTH!!! (How many times was Trump on Epstein's island?)

Columbus was so bad, around 50,000 Natives killed themselves to escape his sadistic rule. He was so bad that even the people back in Europe in the age of the Spanish Inquisition thought he was too brutal, and was going too far.

And Trump LOVES him.
