Trump wants to protect these Confederate statues and flag because they are part of "our" heritage.
Whose heritage, Trumpy? Your family came from Germany. Protecting *your* heritage, following your logic, would mean we should erect statues honoring Hitler, Himmler, Mengele--all those brave patriots--who represent the heritage of your culture.
And they lost to the USA, too.
I guess he just loves losers.

(20 posts)Evidently, either American history was not a required course in the curriculum at the Wharton School of Business, or whoever was being paid to pose as The Donald in his history classroom was an undiagnosed narcoleptic. Believing that Andrew Jackson had a big heart (this of a man who defied the Supreme Court by forcing the Cherokee people to vacate Georgia, where, incidently, gold had just been discovered), that Frederick Douglas is alive and well, that the regional divide that led to the Civil War could have been worked out (presumably without the abolition of slavery), Donald Drumpfs grasp of history is considerably less secure than a bottle of water in his single hand.
