He wants to divert attention from his pathetic 100 day record. Spend taxpayer money on Columbus Day at one of Orange Tyrant’s golf resorts. That’s the plan. Right?
Dude knows nothing about Christopher Columbus, does he? Or does he think that bringing a murderous criminal back on the scene would be another real good look for America now?
Eagerly awaiting the Columbus Day speech later this year in which he rambles, "we wouldn't know the earth is round without Columbus, lots of people are talking about it, you can ship things in both directions, but there are tariffs both ways, bringing back American manufacturing, like Columbus ..."
By bringing back Columbus Day, does he mean he is going to declare success after having no clue where the fuck he is and kill, enslave and rape more indigenous people?
Dude maybe spent the time and money on things people need and put in the effort to learn all of history not just the parts that make feel good. Remember your slogan - fuck your feelings.
Considering Columbus never made it to America I can see why Trump would want to celebrate a lost cause,theyboth had concepts of a plan and neither worked out.
And besides ICE would have deported Columbus for illegally entering the northern hemisphere.
1) Columbus was a mass murderer 2) He never came to what is now the United States, so why celebrate him either way 3) regardless of #1 and #2, it is already a federal holiday so what the fuck is he even talking about?
Because Columbus was always such a genuinely American giant, founder of a continent, who inspired our own founding fathers to soldier on with the invasion.
Fair point. But most people I know like it, he’s a fool to keep seizing on policies young people hate. It’s just so strange; if anything he used to like being popular/liked
The ONLY thing that the despot knows about Italians is what he learned by having bromances with the NYC mob bosses; and those lessons were definitely NOT about Columbus.
Christopher Columbus's actions in the Americas were considered barbaric...by the standards of his own time! There was zero reason to place him on a pedestal in the 15th century, never mind the 21st.
He is trying to get his poll numbers back up - he goes for the "culture war" issues to rally his base. In two or three weeks, I don't think this strategy will work for him anymore.
Except Columbus never set foot in America and even back then everyone knew Columbus was a perverted killer. He and his brothers were arrested and brought back to Spain in disgrace for his violence as governor of Hispaniola
Yep. His villification as a tyrant, murderer and monster is not "looking at him through modern eyes", it's "looking at him through the eyes of his contemporaries who were pretty brutal themselves".
It’s looking at Columbus through eyes of people who fantasize about being able to kill colonize and rape as many brown and Black people as Columbus. The thought of being able to treat everyone they don’t like as objects is massively appealing to republicans
Cristobal Colón was not Italian. He was Catalan. Since the Castllian queen was their arch enemy he had to say he was Genovese. But there is no historical record of him in Genoa. Queen Isabella did return him to Spain in chains. For mistreating (genocide) the indigenous.
Woke is a misuse of an appropriated term that MGATs can't even define. History by definition is Woke. It's being aware of reality. So, by definition, Anti-Woke is denying reality. Denying the facts of history. Banning books, destroying the DOE, mandating what universities can and can't teach. WOKE 💪
WTF? First, isn’t this holiday in the fall? Why is he broadcasting this now? Oh wait, he’s in Italy and the moron probably saw a statue of Columbus putting it front & center in that pea brain of his. Columbus was a savage and killed & tortured indigenous people ruthlessly. Of course trump likes him
He has come after LGBTQIA, immigrants here legally, intelligentsia, science, libraries, judges, rule of law, women, blacks, the elderly the poor, children with cancer, farmers, our veterans and now indigenous people who are the initial inhabitants of this land. GOP good with all of it. #VOTEBLUE
Gotcha. He’s eradicating the Indigenous Peoples Day part, and deferring to the guy who discovered the Bahamas in 1492. Dude never set foot on the east coast of the US. 😆
lol! I don't even know what color they are now. I assume Starbucks will bend the knee and pump out some Trump as Jesus cups this year. It may be the only gift as the store shelves will be largely empty.
so it'll be 'popular' soon to bring back Southern Seditionist slaveowners statues ad hero worship?
is that what we are now??
NO recourse ???

It is NOT inevitable whatever it is...
The best thing about a Columbus Day is to go to the post office and watch people walk in, look around in a confused way, and say "Why are they closed...who closes on Columbus day anymore."
So, he went to Italy where Zelenskyy got a standing ovation, and now he thinks his fatuous tweets will bring Italians to their feet next time he's in Italy?
Hooray, another stupid thing to undo once Trump departs. We’ll throw Columbus Day onto the Gulf of America burn pile. Keep it up, Cheeto Mussolini, it’s going to feel so good to reverse all of your stupid shit.

When the economic Great Depression 2.0 “second coming” arrives, the Trump administration reality show will be seen for what it is.
Even the MAGA cult camp followers will have a epiphany of their Trump messiah with clay feet.
This is ALL distraction from his larger 'Project 2025' initiatives
...
And besides ICE would have deported Columbus for illegally entering the northern hemisphere.
We are planning to bring back the French Revolution! I strongly recommend you start wearing turtlenecks!
Thankfully this bit of gross anti-woke history is already on the calendar, so in the case, I consider it a win in harm reduction.
We could spend the time deciding where the "Donald J Trump Center For The Criminally Insane" should go
Oh shit…is it still a felony for me to post this? Get on it fast donnie!

Trump is afraid of dying.
He can’t accept change or the natural progression of life.
Little man…
