(67,782 posts)....the reaction of MOST of America to trump's abject stupidity.
Has trump ever been embarrassed by anything he's done in his life? Probably not, but he's had more opportunities than most of us.

(11,564 posts)...the origins of the war itself. I've actually seen an article saying that Canada had taken them by surprise and the first thing you know...the WH is on fire.
They generally get 2 things right. The White House did burn, and the War of 1812 did, in fact, occur in 1812. They dont' know, or refuse to accept the fact that it was a move of imperialist aggression by Monroe, who really stumped for support for his plan..
A small and moderately-interesting bit of trivia is that it was the run-up to this war that gave us the term "hawk", Monroe and his supporters were dubbed "The Warhawks."
