Trump is calling Confederate statues beautiful and mourning their loss. Going David Duke on us, again:
Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You.....
...can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also...
...the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!
During his remarks Tuesday and again in his tweets Thursday, Trump argued that Lee and fellow Confederate general Stonewall Jackson, who commanded Southern forces in the Civil War to secede from the United States, are important and admired historical figures in the South and that they could be equated to Founding Fathers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves and thus could potentially be subject to a modern-day backlash that would tarnish their legacies
WaPo: Trump mourns loss of ‘beautiful statues and monuments’ in wake of Charlottesville rally over Robert E. Lee statue
People often say Trump believes in nothing but himself. But he apparently learned racism and hate from his father, who was arrested at a Klan rally in the 1920s.
He is a fascist pig. Lower than scum.
Update I: Trump appears to care more about Confederate statues, monuments to slavery and treason, then the death of Heather Heyer.
