"I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous. It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it." - Trump to WSJ https://t.co/t5IRF4uT45— Philip Bump (@pbump) June 18, 2020
Just ask him, he'll tell you!
Narrator: No, he'd never heard of it. But you knew that, didn't you?
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump said that a black Secret Service agent first told him the meaning of Juneteenth, which is an annual celebration of the emancipation of slaves in the United States.
Trump paused the interview to ask an aide if she had heard of Juneteenth. She pointed out that the WH had issued a statement last year commemorating the day.— Rebecca Ballhaus (@rebeccaballhaus) June 18, 2020
"Oh really? We put out a statement? The Trump White House put out a statement? Ok, ok. Good.” https://t.co/uIDfBUBndN
