99% sure Trump has no knowledge of history
I'm pretty sure he couldn't tell you how many world wars we had

Just yanking the hood right off today, huh?
Next press conference.
Guy 1: "Let's bring back slavery!"
Guy 2: "Okay!"
Guy 3: "Wait we can't, there are STATUES everywhere!"
And that's how America avoided slavery

I wish it were November so we could end this game. I'm tired of playing it.
Trump and his lapdogs will only spin some horrible defense of his words and claim that they were misconstrued, cue the endless debates about what he really meant and republicans siting on their hands.
The relentlessness of this all is beyond depressing. Don't bother asking him or his people what he meant by this. We know who he was before he took office.

There are supposedly some instances of abolitionist statues getting torn down along with the Confederate ones.
Toppling of the Ulysses Grant statue is no way to treat history
Ulysses Grant was not always heroic. He is precisely the kind of figure we should wrestle...www.sfchronicle.com
if y'all have any objects or something with grant's image on it, i'll be happy to take it off your hands
JFC. That's quite a threat. How long until he just starts saying "vote for me or you're dead"?
ok so what are the odds he turns into a frothing lunatic during one of the debates? I fully expect him to say some real shit, not even thinly-veiled threats or dog whistles.

There's no way a tape of him saying the n-word doesn't come out before the election at this rate.
I'm pretty sure he's going for a "if we don't remember we're doomed to repeat it" type deal.
But these statues are glorified. Not scrawled in textbooks as the dark ages of history like the Nazis and shit, but glorified fucking things that people have to walk by every day. He has also proven himself to be a white supremacist, so he has no fucking room at all to say anything like this period without people shredding him up for it.
Also fucking lol at him saying "I like the idea of building new statues for people that have done great things". You fucking know he's implying he wants them to build a statue of him. The best you're gonna get is a dark splotch in the history books of this country fuck face

"Our heritage". The same dog whistle than all those neo confederate racists.
Also:
"the beauty, the artistic beauty. Some of the sculptures and some of this work is some of the great — you can go to France, you can go anywhere in the world and you will never see more magnificent work. And that's a factor. It's not the biggest factor but it's a factor. "
The Louvre may have something to say about this LMAO

The dumb part being most of the statues are garbage. Cheap mass produced crap. Casting some asshole in bronze doesn't make it history.
Apparently this dumb fuck don't know the symbolism between monuments and history. Tear all the statues down and there is still considerable history to be learned in MUSEUMS.... where the fuck they belong.
It's also important to replace said statues with ones that's actually meaningful to EVERYONE! Not just racist traitors and their white nationalist ancestors.

This. The Daughters of the Confederacy wanted quantity over quality.
I'd say after the mask thing today was Trump being One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, but let's be honest, with this bullshit, its more like Half a Shuffle Forward, then Sprinting All the Way Back Home.
Someone should create a 'Proverbs by Donald' algorithm that takes common, easily understood proverbs and puts them through his racist fuck transmuting.
He clearly had a talking point that was based off Santayana's "those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
But he lacks the intelligence to not realize why that's not an appropriate response for the subject at hand.
