The central question examines instances where federal holidays or observances may have been rescinded, eliminated, or otherwise altered during the Trump administration. The focus lies on any policy changes that reduced or eliminated recognition of specific holidays at the federal level for government employees or in federal observances.
Understanding potential shifts in holiday recognition is important because it can reflect evolving national priorities, cultural shifts, and governmental policy. Examining changes, if any, provides insight into the administration’s values and can reveal potential impacts on national unity, employee morale, and public perceptions of national history and identity. Historically, altering holiday observances has often been a reflection of significant societal or political realignments.
