You should ask them which country they would like to live in. I’d be curious to know since they can’t pick a “socialist” country. Russia maybe? Brazil?

No, Israel. Which is kinda hilarious because I’ve been thinking about fleeing for Israel if the situation gets worse here, too, but with the exact opposite definition of “worse” that they’re using. I have this mental image where we’re all living in apartments in Jerusalem, having basically the same arguments we do now, but with Hebrew names.

Will the President of the United States, on the most important day in the national calendar, facing multiple crises of historic proportions, speaking at Mount Rushmore to a citizenry shaken and in many cases afraid, rise to the occasion to inspire and lead us with a call to unity and common purpose?

I think someone may have told Trump that the South won the Civil War.

He seems confused on that point.

Trump is going to haz a sad when he sees the small, possibly tiny, crowd in DC for his 4th of July thing.

He will just take a sharpie to the photographs, and have his new PR Barbie claim that the crowds were th biggest in history.

He’s always said he was a visual thinker. So when he sees all the Confederate flags and statues of Confederate generals, he reaches the obvious conclusion.

Skywatcher, I count 15,000,000 people in that picture. Anyone who says otherwise is part of the lying media.

So Trump said earlier that people are engaging in a "“merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children.”

Why is Robert E. Lee a “hero”?  
Are the “values” that Trump is espousing the “value” of slavery and racism?  
Does Trump view basic education as “indoctrination”?

See, you’re doing that thing where you’re asking reasonable questions. 🤨 This is not permitted in the trumpiverse. You also used some big words. Very bad.

Does Individual 1 have a private slush fund that’s going to pay for this statue garden, or is he going to have to get funding from Congress? If the latter, his Executive Order isn’t worth the paper he wiped himself on.

Why so negative? Let’s try to find some common ground we can share with the Confederates.

We all hate seeing a Republican get elected President, right?

There’s never going to be a Garden of Lifelike or Realistic statues. It’s just another glass of juice for the Base to get 'em past the election.

Probably Trump’s usual move. He makes the promise and gets a bunch of favorable publicity. But then he never follows through on delivering what he promised. He used to show up a charity events and pledge large sums of money - and then after the story was reported, he would never send the check.

If he did, it was probably to say, “Here’s a tip: get a better job, you loser.”
