The President of the United States weighed in on the removal of Confederate memorials this morning.
The president tweeted out this morning.
“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’s being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced.”
It’s so refreshing to see a man with common sense as president. We are not ISIS and we’re not the old Soviet Union. We don’t smash and tear down symbols of our history, good or bad. To hell with his haters, which is the liberal media and the worthless republicans that hate him. The people elected Donald J. Trump. A man of the people, who does not cower down to the politically-correct elites. He speaks common sense and that’s why if the election were held today he would win again. Amen.
Well said, and an excellent Tweet by Trump too.
My intuition is that the MSM (incl Fox) are all wrong again. Trump's defense of free speech and of our nation's historic symbols –even those that remind us of terrible events of our past– will not diminish support for Trump from the public. It will only solidify it. I know for sure that that is its effect on me.
