Trump raises eyebrows by saying US has been bound with Italy since Ancient Rome

In the latest instalment of Donald Trump’s 'Hilarious Alternative History of the World', the US president has implied his own country is more than a millennium older than it actually is.The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years to Ancient Rome.

Who can forget the time when Julius Caesar came to New York city for the opening of his play 'The Tragedie of Iulius Cæsar'

Wait and see when he slaps them with some customs tariffs...

Julius Cesar and Sitting Bull’s grandad were good mates.

calibeach24 Dating back to to the summit between Caesar Augustus and Donnie of Murica in 12 A.D., no doubt!

Never knew the Romans went Stateside or Native Americans to visit the Romans where they may well have had a frosty welcome😂

Dickus

Cried with laughter!😀

In other news, JFK is dead

Aye, about 3 days ago?

I do love the expression on the translators face. 😂😂

We let the Roman's use our airports. You know the same ones trump said we had during the revolutionary war.

I knew Trump was an Alien, just don’t know which planet?

Every Founder knew and read Gibbon. They based much of the founding of The U.S. on ancient Greece and Rome. Trump’s speechwriters know this, even if media hacks pretend not to. Has anyone seen neo classical architecture throughout New England?

No he didn't. There's plenty of real stuff to criticise.

In a weird conspiracy kinda way... 🍊 🤡 is actually correct...?!? 🤔 🧐 🤨 panemetcircenses 🥖🎪

He probably meant that both of the countries are strongly built upon the foundations of the Western civilisation but obviously the president appears to be very awkward in his phrasing.

Tell him like it is Pres.

😂😂

Caesars Palace Duh.

Education is a wonderful thing, provided you listen to the Tutor

And Christopher Columbus?

I dunno, what about the time the centurions attacked starbucks in NYC Back in 292AD? Have you forgotten that tragedy realDonaldTrump

🤣🤣🤣

Presidents never wrong, USA is around for about 5,000 years at least. We do not know, there were many Columbus out there but we know only one. There probably were many Americas out there , too, but we know only one. So, our president was right.

Impeachment will make America great, again!

Pax romana.....ciao...

Such great comedy if wasn't so tragic.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

embarrassingly stupid.

Just say Trump is ignorant! This type of treatment for white people is what is known as white privilege! It's a bunch of bullshit the media says to give benefit of doubt when no such benefit is needed

Pro-Quo-Qu0 3'P bloody liar, cheater crook is running White House in Washington D.C. like Trump Tower in New York?

Thick t.......

How old is the US and how old is Ancient Rome?

DOES THE MORON KNOW ANYTHING.

Trump thinks eating Spagetti-Os is bonding with Italy...

Why do you lie? You know full well he said no such thing

Don't forget Trump created the world in 3 days and God is fake news

This is hilarious!!!

Why am I not surprised - ignorance beyond-compare.

Really hate to say something in his favor, but the sentence is correct since the date refers to the origins ('oranges') of the shared heritage. It's not that there is a shortage of other more serious things to be outraged about.

So The USA had 'warm relations' with the ancient Roman empire?...👋👋

Good Grief, now he's changing world history...was he born in one of the catacombs?

Reminds me of the 'phantom time hypothesis', the idea that the dark ages never happened and the real year is like 1200 or something. It's an odd thought, but interesting. Would help explain why our capitol buildings and monuments look the way the do.

No matter what Democrats do, Trump's winning in 2020. Here's why: read👇🏾

raises rats instead of eyebrows

😂😂😂😂

Not what he said. He said they shared a heritage that went back to Ancient Rome. All of the West shares this heritage that has come down to us from the Roman Empire. What he said is plainly, simply and demonstrably correct. The question is why lie?

Such a grasp of history..

this guy is a scam

Ignorance is bliss

what in tarnation!?!?

As I have said before President Trump has no idea of World History. American was not a Nation for at least two thousand years after the Roman empire. Italy was a part of the Nazi war Machine until the USA & other allied forces forced them to Surrender. What A MORON.

In USA history text books Columbus was the Roman Emperor who discovered America.

😜🤣😂😄

I really doubt that Trump ever had a school diploma.

Whoever wrote the speech wanted to ridicule Trump. And he succeeded.

I think he too much watching TV.

Democracy is a real thing. You commies may want to look it up some time.

One of Trump's ancestors at that time was Caesar, I suspect.

😂😂 back when Americans were wearing togas 😂😂
