Hes too stupid:

Maybe Brit is right and Trump really doesnt know about the Trail of Tears even though Jackson was his favorite president.
That would only make it even more sad, dont you think?

(50,299 posts)cracks about Warren's ancestry are offensive. Trump is an uneducated, unfeeling idiot who probably hasn't read a book in the past 60 years . . . maybe longer. Is there a Little Golden Book about acting like a decent human being?

(25,953 posts)I suspect that he pricked up his ears when the genocidal Trail of Tears was mentioned in history class.

(14,919 posts)and laid a wreath on his tomb during one of his visits to Nashville. Even a world-class moron like Trump must have known about Jackson's role in the Indian Removal program, and his motorcade would literally have driven on the Trail of Tears, as the Hermitage is located on Old Hickory Boulevard. Trump is a big fan of Jackson's, who despite his many flaws and transgressions, and unlike Trump, really was a populist and a hero of the War of 1812, and would probably have despised the dolt incumbent. But I am sure Trump knows about the Trail of Tears.

No way he didn't pick up something about the "Trail of Tears" in his visit to Nashville.
