...claiming that we shouldn't forget 'our history.'(Follow up story: Reporter points out he's referring to a statue of Don Quixote. Kayleigh McEnany immediately points out 'it's still a part of our history.' Reporter responds 'speak for yourself.')
If you're wondering what this joke is in reference to, it's referring to Trump and Brian 'Shit-fer-brains' Kilmeade fawning over a statue of 'Teddy Roosevelt' that Trump keeps in the Oval Office, until somebody points out that it's a Remington sculpture (the Bronco Buster) that was created three years BEFORE the Spanish-American war and the Rough Riders. (Yeah, that's right...any sculpture of a guy with a handlebar moustache on a rampant horse MUST be Teddy Roosevelt, right?)
If Trump was trying to make the point that you have to learn your History, he couldn't have proven it better. "Learn your History, or you might end up looking like a BLOATED ORANGE DOPE in a baggy blue suit."

I dont believe the thing about an educative order but him and Fox misidentifying a statue sure sounds real.
