    I wouldn’t mind having it as a day off again, but we should call it something else. Columbus was a prick.

    Doesn’t even answer the question in the headline.

    He’s bringing it back because, like a lot of stupid insecure people, he’s racist and a bully and something about a European stealing from and enslaving native people resonates with that.
