I think Trump deliberately does this because he knows they will screw up their reporting.
Either NBC reporters are too dumb to do their jobs... or they intentionally deceive their audience expecting them to be too dumb to know any better...
Trump proved correct, again
I’m sure the left/media would be more than willing to call the madman Sherman ‘incredible’
Robert E. Lee was a great general ,he was incredible . I don’t think he was a drinker. Lee was a God fearing man.
Robert E. Lee was the better general. Grant had more troops, equipment and supplies
Lee and Grant were both great men.
I’m an avid fan of Trump’s rallies, and he DID, in fact, praise Robert E. Lee as a “great general” and “warrior”; but, he also further praised Grant as a great General, as well.
Historically, he was correct on both counts.
Because Lee was with the confederates, you might know the media would twist the “racism” angle into it somehow.
But, in both cases, Trump was talking about courage and leadership, NOT political and social ideology.
That is the plan. NBC knows only a few will hear the retraction, after the lie was proclaimed around the world.
These little measures all go into the same pot in order that they may amount to something larger on election day.
That is why Trump is wise to get in their face and head them off daily with his own tweets.
The MSM and Leftists sneer at Trump for tweeting, and then turn right around and tweet themselves.
There are some incredible generals throughout history. Alexander, Hannibal, Napoleon, Washington, and many others. Lee was one of them. He bedeviled the Union for years with a force half the size. He was best at mobility and surprise on the battlefield itself, and that has earned him a place in the top 100 of all time, imho.
So, if Trump had called Lee incredible, which he did not, it would have been true. It’s history just as much as napoleon is history. Patton was a great general, but so was Rommel.
“Look mommy! Look daddy! It’s an NBC reporter! Hahahahaha!”
They’re so transparent.

August 9, 1960
Dear Dr. Scott:
Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War between the States the issue of secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted.
General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as I read the pages of our history.
From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lees calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nations wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained.
Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.
Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Trump is running rings around the fake newsette.
Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers will claim this is still a Dog Whistle for supporting slavery.
Grant was a very smart guy. He wrote one of the best selling books of all times. He won the war. He ran the country. He slept along side his men in battle. He was a better horseman, better general, better writer than the rest of the generals. And he did it with a bunch of untrained Illinois regulars who went into the south past their supply lines, living off the land while fighting the confederates on their own soil and winning.
Its true that Grant was poor. He could not handle alcohol. And the cigars he smoked caused the painful cancer that finally killed him. But he was very much against slavery. And he helped reconstruct the south while fighting the democrats who hated Grant.
