Trump spreads holiday cheer announcing two new federal holidays

Before I retired the DoD company that I worked for would shut down from 12/24 to 1/2 every year. With pay, of course.

Trump's biggest problem is that he's out of touch with the voters. He loves to dangle shiny objects in front of people hoping it will distract them, like the COVID checks in 2020. Nobody cares about two new federal holidays. Sending out checks to members of the military for $1,776 isn't going to buy him any goodwill. What people want is a reasonable cost of living, ample job opportunities, and affordable health care costs. If he spent 90% of his time and energy delivering on these things he'd be the most popular president since JFK.

While past presidents have nominated to give either December 24 or December 26 as an additional holiday for federal workers, it is rare to announce both. During his first term in office, Trump granted federal workers Christmas Eve off three years in a row - a tradition Joe Biden carried on. In 2014, under the Obama administration, Christmas fell on a Thursday and the president opted instead to give workers December 26 off, leading into the weekend. Trump's announcement comes after a record-breaking 43-day government shutdown earlier this year, during which federal employees were either told not to come to work, or forced to show up each day without pay.

Red meat for the MAGA base. All you have to do is shout "SQUIRREL!!" and they look...all the while the politicians they support take their money from their coat pocket, and the carnival barker in chief they voted into the White House cares only about enriching himself.

Meh, governors do that all the time when the 25th falls on a Friday....Big hairy deal.

And as far as the .mil bonus goes my SIL's boy is just getting started in the Army (he's in artillery school) and it really meant a lot to him.

Every breath President Trump takes is headline news to the left murder cult.
