I don’t like his Rolling Stones theme, either, but definitely don’t want anything connected with FDR. I liked, “Taking Care Of Business”, but 43 used that, I think.

A week ago I had never heard of Juneteenth. Then I heard Joe Bye-done mention it, and I thought it was his senility speaking.

Once again a smart, timely and wise action taken by Trump in moving his gigantic political rally from being held on Friday, June 19th, 2020 to Saturday, June 20th, 2020.

Trump has stated that the Trump campaign has received in one day of notice, the campaign in less then 24 hours, has received over 200,000 requests for free tickets for the rally, and that number continues to rise. Saturday makes life easier for both the rally attendees and the local law enforcement and traffic...too.

I would suggest that Protesters think twice about creating damage and violence that evening. Peaceful Protest is fine. But, a massive number of Trump Biker Supporters will be there, along with local, state police and possibly the OK National Guard!!!

This rally may turnout to be the largest political rally in USA history. Support out great POTUS, Trump..be there!!!

Go, Trump, Go, GOP, Go MEGA/MAGA.....Millions of people, worldwide, will tune in on TV & other Media outlets!!!

Democrat, Joe Biden will be watching the rally on his basement TV!!!

The total is now over 300,000, and that was from 11 hours ago.

Disagree
Schedule for 19
Allow your Black supporters to petition for a date change

Demonstrate you have a LARGE Black following and you listen to their suggestions

Is this what a valid, qualified, Democrat Party, Candidate, running for POTUS against Donald J. Trump, Joe Biden does, sit in a basement and watch the Trump Rally on his TV!!! What a loser...Biden is!!!

Just one man’s opinion!!!

Wise move by Trump & the Trump Campaign. If that rally is going to be that massive...Saturday is the much better day then Friday from about a dozen good, sensible reasons, safety, crowd control, security, less traffic disrupted on the weekend, etc.!!!

If he keeps this up, he’s going to have to hold the rally’s at superspeedways.

Indianapolis can hold over 300K.

Bristol would be great. 160K in a half mile

I’d see it more as “in your face.”

Here’s how the media (always) plays it:

“Trump has backed down from holding his June 19th Oklahoma rally after harsh criticism of his campaign’s insensitivity and ignorance of ‘Juneteenth’, a sacred holiday in the black community!”

“But the President showed his concern and sensitivity by quickly responding to requests by black leaders to move the rally.”

“Yeah, but the gaffe doesn’t change how ignorant and insensitive Trump is to blacks and their issues!”

He will never sway the leftist media.

The blacks should understand that Trump offers true freedom on the date which would make it doubly important.

We live in a small town & because we visit family we have always missed the Juneteeth celebration. When I have seen photos it looks like a really fun event & a very mixed race group. Lots of food, music, & crafts.

This was a very respectful & smart move on Trump’s part.

People didn’t even know what Juneteenth was before this.

That said, I have no problem with a holiday to commemorate the end of Slavery.

Obama could have done it, but he probably didn’t even know of it, neither.

Bravo Mr President! Black folks will appreciate this and we need every vote we can get.

My guess is that Trump knew about Junteenth...and resulting controversy

That's why he picked the 19th initially

Changing to the day after gets another round of news cycle for Trump

and 82 million Twitter followers are schooled on the true significance of June 19.
