General George Slave Rounder Uppper Covfefe was a great warrior, Trump said, and he was a hero at the Battle of Bowling Green. His monument in Kentucky must be left untouched. You can tear down all the rest of the gorgeous, beautiful, statues erected in honor of slavery defenders to intimidate people of color in the Jim Crow south, but this order specifically puts the General Covfefe statue under my direct control.
General Covfefes memory will not be besmirched on my watch, Trump said, not after he did what he did on that battlefield, no sir.
According to Trump, Covfefe was leading a charge against Union soldiers in the town of Bowling Green, Kentucky when he noticed a group of renegade, runaway slaves trying to sneak away from the action and north, to freedom. Covfefe marshaled some troops and intercepted the slaves. Citing the Fugitive Slave Act, which was one of the causes of the Civil War, Covfefe returned the slaves to their masters the next day, making him a champion for law and order, Trump said.
There is no more noble cause than law and order, Trump said, and thats what General Covfefe took a stand for that day law and order.
"Why come theres no monument to General John Jacon Jingleheimer Schmidt, Trump asked, Are we going to tear down his monuments and statues next? Then how will we know our names?
