Trump is again reminding us that the North had no need to go to war against the lovely, wonderful Confederacy, that embraced every value he upholds today.

Trump is so against war yet loves the threat of using the military to get what he wants

The Civil War was just a peaceful love fest, then…? 🙄

bryan1958.bsky.social•6 days ago

Could have been solved in 24 hours in his delusional mind…..like all wars.

sissy70.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s a big coward who would never fight for anything but a bunker to hide in.

bachlvrdwb.bsky.social•6 days ago

Blathering on, saying absolutely nothing of any import, and likely noting relating to what question he was asked. When confused, he goes into BS mode and word salad.

blue-n-al.bsky.social•6 days ago

And what would the great Art of the Deal lightweight give up prior to the negotiation? What "property issue" would he have been willing to concede?

ofhuman.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, it could have been solved, but the South declared war rather than give up slavery.

charliej102.bsky.social•5 days ago

The Don's troopers are in the South today (actually This Day) rounding up and imprisoning people. Historical Note: The 14th Amendment has a carve out that allows enslavement for "participation in a rebellion, or other crime..."

The musings of a moron.

I don't know how it's possible for a man to become more ignorant every day but we found that special man and we made him president. Twice.

jasonemry.bsky.social•6 days ago

yeah all those guys who died and the people who made all the decisions: also suckers

thomas-cw.bsky.social•6 days ago

The sitting US president just said he wants slaves, right? 👀

claudine7.bsky.social•6 days ago

He sums it up, white supremacy, and throws in slavery. Why would you need a war? He lived in 1860, and it was a perfect time 🤬

gacyclist.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sure, easy, allow slavery to stand.

How long till someone has the idea to start rewriting the history texts. Maybe the Dept of Education has a purpose

josalo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Helps if you have no knowledge of, like, who shot first, etc. He loves the poorly educated!

suburbansage.bsky.social•6 days ago

He knows that the white southerners are solidly behind his racism, and especially any cruelty he inflicts that is based on racism. REMEMBER, THESE PEOPLE (OR THEIR ANCESTORS) GAVE 5 STATES' ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES TO GEORGE WALLACE IN 1968!

Back when the Trump’s were still army conscription dodging Germans.

shermangrant.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump also got into the topic of the Civil War by saying something about the Declaration of Independence as though it was at the same moment in history. This happens when people don’t take history classes.

jtunes6.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, it could have been "solved" very easily by the South disavowing slavery, just like the Ukraine war could be solved very easily by Russia getting the hell out of Ukraine.

Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephens, in his own words:

Covid certainly could have been solved without losing 600,000 plus additional people.

bluefortrue.bsky.social•5 days ago

The historian strikes again.

elaine-mejia.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sure, grandpa, all they needed was your great deal-making skills. SMH.

schoen3.bsky.social•6 days ago

Same for the pandemic, he’s such an embarrassment.

narciaspokepal.bsky.social•6 days ago

Separate but equal would've worked with the dems bro, especially ones of modern day without protest, it's always the first parts of white supremacist ideals towards other human beings, they make it so honeyed in words dumbasses like libs see no problem with it and the people not getting a chance to-

narciaspokepal.bsky.social•6 days ago

-vote against it because of purposeful erosion of education and the lack of people who have privledges they don't even recognize caring about said laws unless it has to do with republicans demonizing others who aren't like them, libs too.

nickg25.bsky.social•6 days ago

He knows nothing about the Civil War. I wish someone would follow up once in awhile to ask him how he would have solved it. Once Lincoln was elected, there was no such solving.

blue-n-al.bsky.social•6 days ago

And what would the great Art of the Deal lightweight give up prior to the negotiation? What "property issue" would he have been willing to concede?

mwr321.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let me get this straight, the Civil War happened because we declared independence from England?

lily2748.bsky.social•3 days ago

He is a moron! Eww

blbarden.bsky.social•6 days ago

Except that the Confederacy shot first and started the civil war.

hyphee222.bsky.social•6 days ago

Holy shit! He actually got a number right!

boocow16.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's obvious this man is without his mental health?

certificates.bsky.social•6 days ago

wonder what kind of compromise he has in mind.

(i don't actually wonder)

steevb.bsky.social•5 days ago

In any case, he would have ended it in one day

crittertech.bsky.social•6 days ago

If only he was president then🙄

mdavey10.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trumps solution was continued slavery.

nulliusnverba.bsky.social•6 days ago

Is Project 2025 not anti-slavery because the Bible isn't anti-slavery?

Or is this just yet another coincidence?

readingwarrior.bsky.social•6 days ago

The cannonballs coming from the Citadel were just gum drops.

mom1023.bsky.social•6 days ago

Calling Jake tapper !!!!!

tomduncombe.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's under the desk

holeeguacamole.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well, he's darned near old enough to remember it firsthand.

golf-fish.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let's hope he continues his mental and physical downward spiral. He's fading fast.

suburbansage.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's why Vance sold out completely. He and his minions are betting that Trump will die or become undeniably incapacitated within a couple of years.

teteb.bsky.social•6 days ago

Like Gaza, Iran and Ukraine.

“This bill retroactively makes Robert E. Lee the winner of the Battle of Gettysburg.”

lisac1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep, waving a Mexican flag is now almost a crime.....but fly the Confederate one.......aok!

suburbansage.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, his sickening tribe carried the Confederate flag into the Capitol building. And that never even happened during the Civil War. That flag is the mark of the traitor, and they have a HELL of a lot of nerve to claim to be patriots.
