Historical Scholar Trump mourns "600,000 plus people" dying in the Civil War over the Declaration of Independence

[Miles Archer]

“War’s very bad. There was no reason for this to be a war,” he said, apparently about Israel and Iran.

“There was no reason for Russia, Ukraine. A lot of wars, there was no reason for.”

“You look right up there,” Trump said, pointing to the wall, “I don’t know, you see the Declaration of Independence, and I say, I wonder if you, you know, the Civil War always seemed to me maybe that could have been solved without losing 600,000 plus people.”

The Declaration of Independence was America’s declaration it would no longer be ruled by England. It effectively became a declaration of war: the American Revolutionary War, or the American War of Independence, which lasted from 1775 to 1783.

1. It is pretty obvious we elected the dumbest person ever as POTUS. He did finish HS?

[ananda]

6. I'm absolutely certain he bought and/or cheated his way...

through education.

He's ignorant, illiterate, and now showing fullblown
dementia.

[Brother Buzz]

19. But he had the biggest color television at home

And he learned all the history he needed from….

Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color

[Uncle Joe]

2. I get the feeling that President Lincoln just got shot a second time

Thanks for the thread Miles Archer

[Johonny]

3. Trump is smarter than his voters

Which is fucking scary as hell.

[nolabear]

4. "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I’m beginning to think he doesn’t know where he is half the time. I’m serious.

[malaise]

5. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool

than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Ignorant and proud that idiot.

[rsdsharp]

7. Grade school stuff, and he can't figure out

there was nearly 85 years (four score and [five] years ago) between the signing of the Declaration and the start of the Civil War.

8. Which one did we fly airplanes in again?

[struggle4progress]

13. That was John Glenn in the French and Indian Wars: we learned all about it

in the middle school American Hysterectomy class

[Ilsa]

21. George Washington's army got to the airport first.

[Pinback]

22. After crossing the Delaware Turnpike (nt)

[electric_blue68]

23. And it was Rough- there was a Massive Traffic Jam.

No matter now many time Gen George Washington honked his horn the traffic wouldn't budge more than at a caterpillars crawl.

9. When the premise so stupid as to be unbelievable, how to even try to deal with it rationally?

Is that part of the play acting?

Just like it is obvious that any group showing weakness or deference deserves to be slaughtered?

[JMCKUSICK]

10. People seem to forget, everything he does is projection.

Just take everything they said that was false about Biden, and it becomes true about Trump.

[kimbutgar]

11. Can you imagine the news if abiden said this?

The MSM would have this as the opening story and discussing if he’s still cognitively fit to be president.


But noooooo the msm media protects the orange taco Hitler.

[Aviation Pro]

12. TACO is a military genius and astute scholar of history, I tells you

Actually, the fact that Motherfucker can open that pie hole and have sounds come from it is an accomplishment.

[C Moon]

14. Obviously trying to get the Peace Prize now.

[chouchou]

15. Damnit! I told him about the American Revolutionary War Troops took over the airports.

Claim: U.S. President Donald Trump said American Revolutionary War troops took over airports.

16. I have 2 questions

1. When did Joe Biden ever get history that wrong?

2. Why isn't Jake Fucking Tapper writing about this cognitive decline?

[Klarkashton]

20. Nobody writes a dog bites man story. Trump

Is senile and everybody knows it.

[Prairie Gates]

17. Translation: Trump recently asked which war had the most killed

Somebody told him the Civil War had over 600,000 military dead.

When Trump learns something new, he has to share it, like a good big boy. So he finds a way to work the "fact" into the conversation, because he thinks nobody else knows it, so it makes him sound smart to know it.

Unfortunately, the whole issue probably came up when Trump was asking how many people would die in a nuclear strike on Tehran.

[Klarkashton]

18. He could have made a deal the greatest deal ever

In history! Everybody knows it!

Except he can't do shit when it comes down to it. It's a sad fucking fact. The whole world is laughing at his stupid ass and anyone that voted for this shit.
