Donald Trump's relationship with Juneteenth is complex. While he issued proclamations recognizing the holiday during his presidency, he also faced criticism for scheduling a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19, 2020, a location and date with significant historical resonance related to the Tulsa Race Massacre. He later moved the rally to June 20th. Trump has claimed credit for making Juneteenth widely known, stating that "nobody had ever heard of it" before he brought attention to it.
