Trump claims that he is ‘a very smart person.’ He also claims that he ‘knows more about everything than anyone else.’ Of course now that he is your illegitimate president, we know that none of this was true. The facts have proven that Trump not only knows nothing about our government and our nation, he is void in the knowledge of history and refuses to admit that racism is growing in America since his illegitimate election. Trump is not as intelligent as the ignorant rednecks depicted in the movie “Deliverance.”
Ignorant men and women deny the fact that ‘art’ enhances the lives of all Americans. Trump has virtually eliminated funding for the arts. He has a history of destroying the accomplishments of the creators of some of our nation’s most treasured artifacts.
Trump Tower in New York was built after the Bonwit Teller building was demolished on the site. The building was constructed in 1929, and contained two two huge Art Deco friezes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wanted to preserve. Trump agreed, ‘as long as the cost was reasonable.’ The final outcome was Trump’s decision to ignore the request and destroy a part of history. The estimated cost would have been $32,000; the project was reported to cost between 80 and 100 million dollars.
But Trump considers confederate monuments to be national treasures. He even created one on his Virginia golf course. Between the 14th and 15th holes there is a flagpole on a stone pedestal overlooking the Potomac. It bears a plaque “The River of Blood.” The problem here is that the battle Trump referred to never happened.
The people of Virginia attacked four Confederate soldiers in 1861, killing two of them. There was no battle between the north and south; the incident was the result of angry citizens from the state of Virginia.
Trump doesn’t get much right, and his opinions are based on fantasy. Donny Boy is a loser.
Please re-post; thank you.
