, after drawing backlash for his Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally originally scheduled for the same date.
Trump's initial rally date and location drew condemnation as an insensitive gesture in the wake of weeks of nationwide protests against police brutality and racism in America after the death of George Floyd, who had his neck knelt on by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for nearly nine minutes. Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.
Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that he was made aware of the meaning of Juneteenth after his campaign had already set the rally date, and that he was informed by a Black Secret Service agent.Trump rally moved from Juneteenth but remains on edge of 1921 Black massacre site Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., ridiculed Trump for his claim on Twitter:"Retweet if you'd heard of Juneteenth," she said.

I’m sorry, with all due respect, are you just stuck on stupid?!!
Never heard of it until today. When I ask others, they haven’t either. Doesn’t mean it is insignificant just unheard of by many until now.
I wonder if its talked about in school. I've heard about Juneteenth, but really didn't know what it was about.
Sure knows how to make his IGNORANCE SHINE
Made christianity famous when he held the Bible too
Trump=idiot
ANOTHER LIE BY TRUMP !! HE RUNS OUR COUNTRY
“Who’s got the screwdriver”
LOL! Reminds me of Haig, the serial killer in the UK, known as the Acid Bath Murderer. Weren't his last words on the scaffold, 'Well, at least I made baths famous'?
God I hope this man gets locked up. 🤯🤢
Wow...narcissistic a**...seriously! He honestly thinks HE has introduced all the things he’s learned in 4 years to all of the American people The silver spoon surely wasn’t feeding him history!🙄🤦🏽♀️😡 He doesn’t deserve the office he holds..
I never heard of that. We already have Martin Luther King Day.
Just because you had no clue, doesn’t mean the rest of us are idiots. Remember, it’s your deplorable fans that wouldn’t know that date. Those of us educated and engaged with our country’s history all knew.
Trivial dribble.
He is a spoiled man child who is always looking for validation. Sad that everything has to be about him.
That's because Trump is clueless.
I never hear of it
Delusions of grandeur is a terrible thing
JFC 🤦🏻♀️
Hmmm. It’s been on my IOS phone calendar for years. Wait, I bet he made the iPhone popular too...
He realDonaldTrump really is a legend in his own mind. 'It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.' -- THE Abraham Lincoln (you know the one you gave a 'pass' to). Brainless MentalHealthMatters
Day late dollar short Trump.
I’ve never heard of Juneteenth. I guess I was too busy enjoying my White privilege!🤪😂
He’s right you idiots!
When do I stop laughing?
This guy is sick and self absorbed! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️It's shameful. At least it was a whole episode on Black-ish 🙄🙄
Maybe not many white people but that’s what happens when selective history is taught. I’m Australian and even I know what it is. If Americans don’t, then you have an inexcusable white education problem.
He is correct. Almost nobody heard of it.
I'm 55. I have known about it for over 30 years........
What he means is that HE had never heard of Juneteenth. He is such a dumbass. Apparently he doesn’t know that it is already a holiday in many states.
C_Banning What in the Hell is he smoking
DJT is the only one who never heard of Juneteenth
I’ve never heard of it ...I’m 62 years old born and raised in the USA 🇺🇸
Public school with a college degree here and I’ve never heard of it.
I'm not a 'nobody' - I'm a white 'somebody' who has known about Juneteenth previously. So you are WRONG again POTUS. And I'm sure that many Blacks knew about it & they are SOMEBODY also! So get off your little self-congratulatory trip & start leading!
big in texas
Does Donald Trump want to go to hell?
I never heard of it and i think its great to celebrate !!
Well most people never heard of it, except for Democrats who are now claiming 100 percent of them heard of it. LoL
Aye
I can go for that... I knew about Juneteenth because of my grandparents but as I got older a lot of my peers didn’t.. I’m glad his followers are learning about it..
Why is it so wrong to celebrate this day in any form? Everyone should be happy. Oh wait, someone is claiming ownership? I thought we shared our countries heritage and didnt keep it hidden in the basement with Joe Biden. How about Trumpteenth? Is that taken yet?
True
I never heard of it.
You’re not the reason this day is noteworthy, Donald
Liar.
Nobody cared even if they knew or didn’t know and black Americans may have celebrated(their right) but most dated events are not a big deal any way KAG 2020
I didn’t know about it.
Never heard of it.
Never heard of it until this last weekend
Where has he been Oh, In the bunker!!!
Well...we know he likely didn’t.
45 just needs to keep his mouth closed. Seriously, the words of stupidity that come of his mouth is baffling. smh
It was a figure of speech and y’all know that. Anyway, a lot more people know about ‘Juneteenth’ now, and that’s good.
That statement is consistent with what has been said about his preparedness for the office of POTUS-- so thereford-- is no surprise that he might have said such a thing--
He didn’t make it famous
What the multiple people in your head?
He’s pretty accurate. Some had but it wasn’t covered in my text books.
Both Tump and Biden are pathological liars🐑
I haven’t heard about Juneteenth. How many African American holidays/remembrance days are there now?
Well Trump, when you shelter yourself in the company of this group, not surprising you just “discovered” Juneteenth.
He’s not wrong
The racist adulterer continues to denounce black ppl.
Surely he can’t be serious. Not only is he always putting his foot in his mouth, he is managing to get both in at once.
We know about Juneteenth like he knows the 4th of July.
That’s just another one of Trumps lies! Lots of people were aware!
And then there are folks on here saying “well indirectly he did bring attention to an otherwise unknown holiday, and so trump made the day famous” shut up 🤐!! Lol 😂😂🤣😂🤣
No one I knew had ever heard of it. 🤷🏻♂️
this guy
'Nobody ever heard of' Juneteenth which is why there was no controversy when ... no, wait ...
He’s made being a self-absorbed ignoramus even more popular.
If you hadn’t heard of Juneteenth and you graduated high school and college then might have gone to Trump University!! Lol 😂!!!
Can you say NARCISSIST?
I never heard of it before 🤷🏼♀️
I never heard of it before!!
100% correct. And Covid will magically disappear by last Easter.
Nobody ever heard of Juneteenth before he screwed up and scheduled an event on that day? He’s probably the only one who’d never heard of it!
Never heard of it and will forget about it on June 20th, no big deal
By nobody he means himself but the again he never heard of Finland not being part of Russia I’m not sure how he ever got out of elementary school
You know, it still amazes me that there are currently there people that support this guy and swear up and down that they aren't racist and they want black people to vote for this man. How? Make it make sense. Why would we vote for this disrespect?
How to TOTALLY ALIENATE the African American Community with one move.? Miller must have written that little ballistic missile. He really is beyond contemptible!! (as well as fundamentally insane)
And he’s probably right. Most people don’t realize the celebration of the Emanicpation Proclamation happened in 1865. 3 years after it was signed. But they know it now.
Yes. Until then, the only person who'd even heard of Juneteenth was Frederick Douglas.
Trump asked an aide during his interview with Wall Street Journal, and she told him the White House had put out a statement commemorating Juneteenth last year. The White House has done so the past three years of his presidency. 'Oh really? Trump said. 'OK, OK. Good.'
How in God’s name can anyone still support this moron?
He is ...well...mentally challenged.
He's right. No one ever did hear of it.
I am probably like many people in that I had really never heard much of him until he assumed the presidency. June 19th will live on long after he's gone in spite of his vision of grandeur.
Just another attempt to dismiss the Black experience in America
It’s a Texas thing. You don’t need to look very far to find out how many people have no clue about history. In Ohio, protestors defaced an abolitionist statue. Stay in school, kids
And that's your president!
Me. MEEEEE. Me, me, me. Me! Me...me....me...me...ME!
There’s a holiday June 19th Tf
What a terrible and egotistical statement!
College courses in African-American Literature, Black Studies & African-American History cover the topics of Enslavement, Emancipation & Reconstruction. Juneteenth commemorates the date when the enslaved learned about their freedom! Reading is learning!
Trump is now past the tipping point of likely defeat in November. Sort of a miracle, he's gone.
Juneteenth has been celebrated around the Country for a very long period of time. Trump has probably never attended the celebration.
Such arrogance. Smh!!!
More like he (realDonaldTrump) didn’t know the history of Juneteenth... and typically, always needs to make everything about himself.
I had not heard of it.
LieStream TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks
Oh now I get it...
Of course he never heard of it, it is not about Trump.
The ones who say they never heard of it are the same ones who have been deaf toned to what's happening in the black community to include the POTUS who says he's done so much for the poor black folks!!! GTFOH!
The Evil White and Black Democratic Slave Masters!! Is that the Privilege your talking about? Fact Matter!!
Da fuq does he think he is? Can’t wait till this turd is out of daily new cycles. The country will improve when he is removed
Seriously unbalanced here! Why does 45 think he was asked to either re-schedule or cancel the Tulsa pep rally that coincides with not only Juneteenth but also the Tulsa race riots on Black Wall Street! But he knows. Cruelty drives his message!
Let those tiny voices in your head keep telling you things Donnie. Then keep them there. Oh boy.
He has never heard of Juneteenth because he does not or has not surrounded himself around BLACK PEOPLE....
There he goes again...It's all about him. Unbelievable
NOBODY: Um. Actually, we have heard of it.
My first time i have never heard of it..there is 350 days a year there is always somekind of anniversary good or bad..what ya do?
Yep that’s the day the republicans freed the blacks!!!!
God spare me.realDonaldTrump
I think he's right. No one I know ever heard of it.
“Look! I made pupu on the potty!
Please tell me Trump did not say he made Juneteenth famous and that nobody heard of it before... maybe the people he was around didn't know about it, but people knew. Trust me... they have been having parades and stuff (for sure in Texas) since a few years after it happened.
Proving that white private schools don't teach black history.
Yes, people did hear about it and celebrate it well before all of this happened. They even had an episode on Blackish, but I bet our president dosen't watch that show. Racist a...
Meaning that the holiday was sensationalized in the media (due to his rally), and by being so, cast a shadow on millions of people that hadn’t been exposed or taught about its origin or meaning. So, indirectly, he has an argument; Juneteenth has a far wider reach...now.
You are one sick puppy
God bless this ignorant fool
pleases stop talking
I never heard of it before.
It’s a tell. Whenever Trump says nobody had ever heard of something, it just means he never heard of it. Because if a very stable genius hasn’t heard of something, it doesn’t exist.
Might have to defend him slightly on this. Racist bigots of the MAGA klan probably haven't heard of it. Ignorance is bliss with that crowd.
You don't know the history of America, you don't know or care how people have suffered, you vile dictator! OBAMA WAS AND STILL IS SO MUCH MORE OF A PRESIDENT THAN YOU!
Narrator: he lied again
The state of his overinflated ego never fails to astonish. Vote TicToc

I never heard of it, but it needs to be celebrated
