President Donald Trump used a Truth Social post on October 12 to proclaim that the removal of Christopher Columbus statues by left‑wing activists was over. He wrote, “HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY TO ALL… the Radical Left Dumocrats, Socialists, and Communists rampaged… ripping down almost all of the beautiful statutes of Christopher Columbus.” He added that the statues were “back, more magnificent than ever.” Trump also praised the holiday’s significance for Italian Americans and Italy, calling it “maybe the biggest” day for the community. Earlier Friday remarks similarly blamed the “radical left communists” for wanting to abolish the holiday. In the same post he singled out Democratic Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El‑Sayed, accusing him of supporting efforts to end Columbus Day.
