President Trump announced on Sunday that he intends to bring back Columbus Day.

Congress hasn't changed Columbus Day as a federal holiday but some cities like Washington, D.C. celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day instead.

"They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but 'WOKE,' or even worse, nothing at all! Well, you'll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback," Trump wrote on social media.
