In case you haven't noticed, Mr. President Sir (he likes it when people call him "sir" even when they don't), the nation is still reeling from the Covid-19 pandemic, more than 40 million Americans are out of work, and the country is crumbling in your tiny ineffectual hands. Don't you think the president should have more important matters to attend to than a statue being toppled? A statue of a person you couldn't identify if your miserable life depended on it.
