Biden is simply bitter at this point. He hold a major grudge towards President Trump.

And Joe Biden lobbed a brutal attack on Donald Trump during a disturbed speech.

Biden Uses Juneteenth to Attack President Trump

At an AME church service in Galveston, Texas—where Gen. Gordon Granger issued the final federal orders enforcing emancipation on June 19, 1865—former President Joe Biden spoke about Juneteenth’s place as a federal holiday.

Biden shared personal anecdotes, recalling visits to Northeast Wilmington’s Black community during his youth in Claymont, Delaware, often after attending Catholic Mass in Greenville. He framed these experiences as shaping his perspective, emphasizing his time chairing the African Affairs subcommittee.

“I used to chair the African Affairs subcommittee,” he said. “I’ve been to the origins of where slavery started [in Africa]. And to listen to them talk about it now, how things are changing. We have to remember, our country is founded on the promise of freedom; freedom for everybody.”

He described Juneteenth as “of monumental importance to the American story,” calling slavery “America’s original sin.” Biden criticized those hesitant to embrace the holiday, saying, “They don’t want to remember – but we all remember the moral stain. . . .”

He also appeared to take aim at President Donald Trump, referring to “this guy” before pausing to make the Sign of the Cross, a gesture that drew applause but sidestepped a direct confrontation.

Biden further criticized efforts to “erase” history from classrooms and textbooks, and he implicitly challenged Trump’s decision to revert southern military base names. However, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently clarified that these bases now honor U.S. military heroes with the same surnames, not Confederate generals, highlighting a nuanced approach to historical recognition.

Biden invoked Scripture, stating, “[D]arkness can hide much but can erase nothing,” and added, “The Scripture tells us faith without work is dead.”

He called for protecting voting rights, claiming barriers persist for Black Americans and minorities six decades after the Civil Rights Act. “Stop those who try to make it more difficult to vote, and help people register to vote. Let’s reach out to our families, our friends, our neighbors, remind them how critical it is,” he urged.

On the other hand, President Trump offered a pragmatic perspective, questioning the economic impact of Juneteenth as an additional federal holiday. He argued it costs “billions of dollars to keep all of these businesses closed,” cautioning, “Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every working day of the year.”

Trump’s stance resonates with those prioritizing fiscal responsibility and economic vitality, suggesting that historical acknowledgment should not overburden businesses or taxpayers. His approach advocates for a balance—honoring the past without disrupting the present.

Other leaders, like West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey, struck a similar chord, issuing Juneteenth proclamations while keeping state offices open. This reflects a practical compromise, recognizing the holiday’s significance without halting government operations.

Juneteenth remains a vital moment to reflect on America’s journey toward freedom, but Trump’s perspective highlights the need to weigh commemoration against economic realities.
