United States President Donald Trump announced the reinstatement of Columbus Day, promising to restore the holiday under the traditional rules, dates, and locations that had been celebrated for decades. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized that his administration is "bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes."

Trump sharply criticized Democrats, accusing them of trying to "destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians who love him so much." He alleged that Democrats "tore down his statues and put up nothing but 'woke' or, even worse, nothing at all!"

Declaring that Columbus "is going to make a major comeback," Trump reaffirmed his commitment to preserving American historical figures and traditions. He positioned the reinstatement of Columbus Day as part of his broader effort to honor national heritage and resist ideological erasure.

The announcement highlights Trump's continued focus on cultural and historical preservation during his current term, aiming to reinforce traditional American values and symbols.
