    Default Trump rips removal of Robert E. Lee statue

    Former President Trump on Wednesday blasted the decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Va., saying it would result in a “complete desecration.”

    Trump has defended such statues from being removed in the past, calling activists' effort a means to "take away" U.S. history and culture by calling for the removal of Confederate statues.

    Trump then claimed that had Lee been alive, he would have led a successful military operation in Afghanistan.

    Where were the white supremacist, to stop this removal of this statue?!! Like in Charlottesville?!! That statue was removed too!

    The City of Charlottesville, Virginia, has removed two statues glorifying Confederate generals, including the statue of Robert E. Lee that sparked a deadly white supremacist rally nearly four years ago. The removals were well overdue, Zyahna Bryant told the Washington.

    Buy the time this over the only thing confederate left, will be
    cemeteries?!!

    If that thing is bronze, it's worth a LOT just for the scrap metal.

    Far better it should become thousands of useful bushings than a distortion of our history, trying to glorify the traitors and rebels.

    Trump is just doing the same old boring Trump thing, trying to insert himself into some story which really has nothing to do with him.

    He's like the little billionaire boy who cried: "Look at me! It's all about me!" one too many times. People are just over it.

    Lee was a gentleman's gentleman. He was asked by Lincoln to lead the Union, and politely refused because he was of The South. After losing the war, he politely surrendered, saving the nation from a decade of guerrilla warfare.

    Why not learn your history instead of embarrassing yourself like this?

    Lee pledged loyalty to his state of Virginia. He, along with our civil war, is part of our history and should not be buried because a few assholes are "offended."
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Trump could give his followers dieting advice and they'd believe it.

    It's confederate history, numbnuts. In whose history has enemies of the homeland ever been glorified? You're not still the Confederacy, so grow up.
