President Trump on Thursday refused to back down from critics who've ripped him for failing to condemn protests surrounding the removal of Confederate monuments, doubling down on his belief the statues should stay and questioning if the progressive movement would turn on America's Founding Fathers next.
In the aftermath of a deadly car attack Saturday -- following clashes at a largely white nationalist rally protesting the University of Virginia's plan to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee -- Trump bemoaned the accelerated effort by many on the left to take down other symbols of the Confederacy.
"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!" Trump wrote in several tweets.

AND AGAIN AND STILL TRUMP IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
And you can thank Obama for promoting this.
I’m afraid this is just the tip of a gigantic iceburg...
It’s going to get a lot worse....
Adding to my own post. We are living the ridiculous accusations and claims of the Red Scare or Animal Farm.
Yup. To agree with this wanton destruction of public property is akin to agreeing with isis/isil/is/daeah in destroying historical monuments because they don’t represtent YOUR ideology. My truth may not be your truth any more than your truth may not be my truth.
only one of many processes of division all geared to drive us to civil war
Trump: ‘Country being ripped apart’ by monument removals
Just wait until the book burning starts. That with out a doubt will be the next attack on America by the Taliban of the left.
If you look you’ll find Obama is doing this from his Garage Command Post and you’ll also see Obama will be out of the country when the worst happens so he can come back and save the country ,LOL
The ‘left’ has figured out that they cannot get rid of Trump (and keep everyone from figuring out who the real criminals are) unless they tear the country apart.
The Left (and some on the Right) cannot have Trump be successful in ANY endeavor. He must have a failed presidency. So, a media driven "scandal" in which he will never be able to say the right thing or apologize enough for his perceived sins. They will never let this man alone until he is either removed from office; or, as is happening now, everything he wants to do will be slowed down or stopped completely.
This is the plan, folks. The Deep State rules.
That ship sailed long ago.
I am with the South in life or death, in victory or defeat. I believe the North is about to wage a brutal and unholy war on a people who have done them no wrong, in violation of the Constitution and the fundamental principles of government. They no longer acknowledge that all government derives its validity from the consent of the governed. They are about to invade our peaceful homes, destroy our property, and murder our men and dishonor our women. We propose no invasion of the North, no attack on them, and only ask to be left alone.

I was silent when they went after Confederate monuments.
And this is why the politicians on the left always try to decimate the DOJ when a Republican is in office. This should be Wray’s first act as FBI director.
Yep. Yet another one he gets right.
Yup. History (where it’s even taught anymore) has been altered in texts to instill guilt for being successful.
