Trump has no interest in this history, bemoaning instead the “complete desecration” of what “has long been recognized as a beautiful piece of bronze sculpture” — a sign Trump insists of how: “Our culture is being destroyed and our history and heritage, both good and bad, are being extinguished by the Radical Left.”
In his statement, Trump glossed over the insidious nature of Lee’s cause to instead gush over the Confederate’s tactical acumen with an astonishing bit of historical revision. “President Lincoln wanted Lee to command the North, in which case the war would have been over in one day [citation needed].
