Trump Takes Credit for Popularizing Juneteenth

President Trump told the Wall Street Journal that there was some systemic racism in the U.S. but he took credit for popularizing Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery.

Said Trump: “I’d like to think there is not. but unfortunately, there probably is some. I would also say it’s very substantially less than it used to be.”

He added: “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.”
