In a bold and unapologetic move, President Donald Trump has taken a stand to restore Columbus Day to its rightful glory. The liberal-left has been on a crusade to erase history, claiming that we should observe Indigenous Peoples Day instead. But President Trump has put his foot down, declaring Columbus Day will remain just that—Columbus Day. It’s refreshing to see a leader who refuses to cave to the politically correct whims of a vocal minority.
The leftists want to tar and feather Christopher Columbus, casting him as a villain rather than recognizing him as the brave explorer he was. They want to rewrite our history to fit their narrative, one that paints America’s founding as something it wasn’t. Columbus opened up a new world, paving the way for the freedoms we enjoy today. Were it not for pioneers like him, those very same leftists wouldn’t have the platform to spew their anti-American rhetoric.
The Democrats have been relentless in their campaign against traditional American icons. They chip away at our values, one holiday at a time. Their alternative to Columbus Day feels like a calculated attack on all that’s great about our nation. Their call to replace it is just another example of how they’re willing to betray American heritage in favor of some globalist agenda. They aim to reshape our identity, but Trump’s decision is a solid reminder of what America stands for.

The legacy of Columbus should not be tarnished or replaced to meet the demands of a few loud detractors. This is a man who crossed oceans and weathered storms to make history, and he deserves our respect, not our scorn. Trump is right to protect this legacy, and his actions signal a much-needed rejection of the cancel culture that’s crippled honest discourse.
In this great debate, who stands to lose the most? It’s certainly not the globalists with their new-age history. It’s everyday Americans who want to preserve the cultural milestones that hold this country together. If we surrender Columbus Day, what’s next? Will they cancel Thanksgiving because turkey offends vegans? God Bless President Trump for standing firm. In a world where tradition is under attack, we must ask ourselves: Will we define our future by the triumphs of the past, or by the whims of the progressives?
