Did Donald Trump write "too many non-working holidays in America" on his social media account ahead of Labor Day 2026? No, that's not true: A review of Trump's Truth Social account found that the president made the post on June 19, 2025. While Trump did write those words, he posted them more than a year before September 2026.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@FmrRepMTG) on X on Sept. 2, 2026. It read:
Our multibillionaire President's Labor Day message is telling the American tax paying slaves they don't work enough and need to work more to fund his historically high government spending, never ending Iran War, and import his foreign mystery meat, while he goes golfing at one of his many private golf courses with his best buddies in the Epstein class.
Meanwhile in the real world college graduates can't find a job, in most families both parents work their tails off, many Americans work 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet, and the national price of gas is still above $4/gallon.
It's not the American people who need to change their ways.
Actually, they voted for Trump to change the Swamp in order to Make America Great Again!
But instead, it turns out Trump was the very snake he warned about all along.
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Trump originally made the post (archived here) on his Truth Social account on June 19, 2025, the federal holiday commemorating Juneteenth. The holiday marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to tell enslaved Black people they were free. The announcement came about two and a half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. At the time of writing, Lead Stories had found no other references to "non-working holidays" in Trump's social media posts (archived here).
