My kingdom for a social media intern that isn't dumber than a sack full of hammers.

Why doesn’t he just accept the nomination at the golf course? That’s where he is most of the time

This is the site of largest number of casualties during the Civil War; a war that tore this county apart, exactly what message is Trump trying to send. It is rich in irony because his presidency is tearing this Nation apart....

Liberalism is a disease

He seems to be on the side of confederates losers. Is that a sign ?

Who the hell is DonaldTrump fooling? He is going to accept it there.

Taxpayer funded Campaign! Stealing from Americans so his campaign won’t get the bill. America already knows he wouldn’t pay it anyway! Same reason his Presidential press conferences sound like rally speeches! We pay for it! More campaign dollars for laundering

Bone Spur and his military wishes

They need to have it at the local sewer plant

To GET HEADLINES Trump says he may accept the nomination at OUR White House - Loves to 'own' the Patriots who still respect America 'America is a hellhole, and we're going down fast'

Look abc trying to denigrate the Gettysburg battlefield

Arlington national cemetery. Remind people that the property it is located on once belonged to Robert E.Lee.

Can't wait for Trump's historical references. :) :) :)

'Journalism' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Could it possibly be because there were two armies fighting there? My, how observant of ABC. Historical site because it explains the significance of its result.

He's saying what his racist supporters want to hear.

White-folks ruined america

He should move it to a golf course. That seems more appropriate for him.

I would accept his reservation!

He should accept at Gettysburg. After all, it is the site of Napoleon’s surrender in one of the greatest battles of The 100 Years War. Of course, he would’ve never surrendered if his troops weren’t all dying from The Black Death.

Always looking on the dark side. Thanks . You're tools.

'Covid19' could be 'controlled' if not for ignorant, privileged white-folks.

It is there to show history. The Confederate army lost. They are memorials set up to let us never forget the sacrifice we made to ensure freedom for all. It was a great victory and the beginning of justice for all. God bless America..!!

It’s called history assholes. People need to learn from it, not try to erase it. Only the FakeNewsMediaClowns focus on the Confederacy

Fuck him - he better not go to Gettysburg!

They mark the battle lines you fools

I pray to God all you corrupt and divisive media are put to shame in Nov. Such a great country being destroyed from within. The Media, Big Tech & DNC are the tripod of the tools being employed for the demise of the USA.

And I’m sure dumb ass will stand right in front of the statue of some confederate treasonous member of the military

Great contrast. He is losing this war in a rout.

😐 oh ffs....out of over 1300 monuments in Gettysburg, there are 13 that are Confederate state monuments and around 30-35 more for individual confederate leaders/generals. If youre THAT damn sensitive, you should just cancel ALL of history.

Does he not remeber that most of his favorite constituents lost a battle there. They've been salty about it for over 100 years now.

600,000 Americans died in that war.

fauxcohantas wants to dig up confederate graves

That’s Trump-- his head is in the gutter again.

ABC news *must* take the opposite side from Trump, so when he makes a normal choice, he forces the media to act like morons to take the other side. Rumor has it there was some tall guy with a hat that gave a speech there about reconciling our differences. History much?

Well that explains it...

It's called poor loser syndrome. It's like the Euros losing to Native Americans out here and then rounding us up with firearms and killing us. Since they realized we were NEVER going anywhere they defaced a butte and called mount rushmore.

All making sense now

The union WON and Trump is a Republican.

Its Gettysburg. Of course there are memorials. Why not just erase history and be done with it.🤔

Did we expect anything less from our traitor in chief? He’s a joke. Tre45on

I will teach you photoshop design with an easy lesson. Please click the link-

Trump prefers surrounding himself with Confederate monuments. He feels more affinity with its causes.

Translation: 'Though the Battle of Gettysburg marked a turning point for Union forces, we here at must create an anti-Trump narrative, so please let us entertain you with our partisan b.s.'

Sooo this is going to be a Klan meeting?

What does he know about being on a battlefield?

Well then. That explains why Gettysburg.

The confederates lost the war! They were the losers! The confederates fought to keep slavery and land! They lost! They are not Indegeous people! Think!

We are so fucked up...

Why not Arlington National Cemetery in front of the Tomb of the Unknown...? After all, if you plan to desecrate the nation’s most hallowed places don’t stop at Gettysburg...

Why is he like this? He’s so extra.

Salem seems more appropriate.

Watching blue nut jobs lose their shit over every little thing Trump does.

He’ll go to Gettysburg. Desecrating hallowed ground.

How about the bunker?

He may try but he can’t compare to Lincoln

I say he should accept from the bunker. Impeached.

Watch him try to buy Gettysburg battlefield to turn it into a presidential golf course.

Nut case

The zoo would be the most appropriate.

To honor all the confederate “heros” that lost their life.

He should do it at any of his properties; a hotel or a golf course ...

Can they nominate someone else?

Why doesn’t he accept it at Mar-A-Lago? That’s where he spends most of his time anyway.

I vote for Gettysburg as it is a clear and unmistakable historical location illustrating Republicans’ leadership in eliminating slavery, extending citizenship to America’s black population and fighting against Demoncrat’s racism and discrimination... all very relevant today.

The site where the Union was preserved, not that it matters to you.

Only liberals and could make this into an issue.

Who cares?

Also the site of the Gettysburg address...EnemyOfThePeople

He should accept the nomination in Trump Tower New York City where in June 2015 he first announced his hateful campaign and disastrous joke of a presidency.

MAYBE BECAUSE HE IS A BLOODY IDIOT?

What an idiot!

Why does he need to spend our tax $$ on an acceptance speech, we already know he won’t pass up a chance to be in the spotlight. I hear he wants to go to Gettysburg to see where he can put a new golf course.

Stay out of Pa. RUMPY

Ewww

abc fake fickin news

So won’t go to the convention, but wants kids to go back to school. Got it.

Republicans are trying to take away Social Security Republicans are trying to take away Medicare Republicans are trying to take away our Democracy Vote them Out

It will be that he wants to pronounce a speech similar at Lincoln in that place

Seems pretty appropriate, seeing as we’re on the verge of civil war

realDonaldTrump CNN MSNBC CBSNews Mr Trump, the White House is not owned by the Trumps, the Republicans or the Democrats. It is owned by the people - all Americans. Do your reading of your “speech” from one of your Trump Towers, Trump Golf Clubs or Mar-a-Lago Club.

So he plans on spilling vitriol and hate on either hallowed grounds or the People’s House. He should just do it at Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis’ home (and “Presidential Library”) in Biloxi, Miss.Might as well appease his base and fly his Confederate Flag.

Gettysburg battlefield would make a great backdrop for President Trump to make his acceptance speech. It’s a meaningful place in US history as well as being scenic. I have been twice to visit the national park — it is very moving to be there.

Russian officials said they are working toward a date of August 10th for approval of the C19 vaccine, which has been created by the Moscow-based Gamaleya Institute. Positive news 14000 dead 47th world 94/m. UK 65000dead 1st world.

Liberals rewriting history of Gettysburg. It’s where the tide of the civil war changed.

What’s the correlation

The ‘Rebels Yells’ be howling tonight !!

He should not be allowed on the sacred grounds of Gettysburg...or the White House for that matter

Crybaby Democrats. Every single thing he does gets the tears flowing.

THE SITE THAT FREED THE SLAVES

His own Gettysburg address... I’ve heard of people believing they’re Napoleon, but Lincoln...? How original.

Wtf is this trash tweet lol I swear the media wants Trump to win.

Bone spurs will accept something on a battlefield? Gthoo

Why is a news organization so partisan? I guess you’re not really a news organization though, are you? BiasedMedia

They say Gettysburg is haunted, so........

What has happened to you America Lincoln speech: ‘Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth’ Trump speech: ‘The closest thing is in 1917. Probably ended the Second World War. All the soldiers were sick’

Gettysburg. Unveil the memorial of those we lost to TDS

Gettysburg it should be for a heroic armee battleground proven veteran Luke Trump

RepublicansNeedToChooseTheCountryOverThePartyOftRump VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare TrumpVirusDeathToll164K Biden2020MAAA WeThePeople 🇺🇸

He got his wall up in Lafayette Square. Now this🧐Who doesn’t think he is planning to Charlottesville tf outta this? Since they denied him. Or he’s just distracting from his DeutscheBank problems? Or not condemning BountiesForKillingUSTroops his racist base will go nuts.

Hallowed ground

Should do it at the “River of Blood”...

...

he keeps saying he's a better president than Lincoln, so he figures he'll make a better speech than the Gettysburg Address. Yeah, right!

Trump claimed today that the 1918 Spanish Flu ended WWII (?). Maybe he thinks the bloody battle of Gettysburg was brought to an end by Covid-19? Anything seems possible in his pea-sized mind. Wow, guys - you really do have one stupid President.

What a complete and utter nutter, realDonaldTrump is.

Can't wait to hear FoxNews rave that Trump's speech is the finest ever given at Gettysburg. Trumpanzees

Ahhhh I just watched Trump talking to reporters on Aug 6, stating. , Biden is against guns against God and against energy, now I don't know Biden at all, but he can't be against energy lol. Such an interesting man.

He’s throwing Gettysburg out there so everyone will accept the (illegal) White House announcement

Someone tell RealDonaldTrump that the Constitution says, 'If you can't spell Gettysburg, you can't give a speech there.' TrumpNonCognitive TrumpIlliterate

🇺🇸Yup, democrats hate freedom. Buy more ammunition every payday. Obey the law. Disagree respectfully. Read the constitution and be prepared to defend yourself and the Republic.🇺🇸

Still tryna figure out which one is more insulting

Would be great if the GOP fronted up at the convention with an alternate candidate. Silly if they don't.

realDonaldTrump who cares?

This guy is the Michael Scott of US Presidents.

How about he accepts that in the back alley behind the dumpster

Lincoln envy.

Amazes me how you take the trolling bait everytime 🤣

But more interesting look where chissy found himself with a pedo....NOW THIS IS NEWS!!! A VERY DARK ROAD AHEAD

Election2020

is FakeNews

Had enough yet?

That's what this is though.. is it not!? The south and north Again!? Republicans and Democrats!? Not so much a battlefield of guns and bombs yet but it's coming pretty close

Not Gettysburg. He really does think history will see him like lincoln. That's insane

doesn't just report, it throws in fun facts now.

'Ahh, Gettysburg. Where our brave Navy SEALS defeated the Kaiser's men during the War of 1812.'

Republicans defeated the racist slave-owning Democrats at Gettysburg.

President Trump can Pela

I really don’t care, do u?😡👎

BEWARE OF THIS RED TIE MAGA THUG! 84 days to go.... Eject him from Oval Office 1.8 million people who clicked this short video could not have been willingly wrong:

Lol

Trump could single-handedly reenact Picket’s Charge. Nancy Pelosi could be waiting for him on Cemetary Ridge.

This socialist movement to erase our history and pride in National heritage has got to stop. truth

You people really can’t help yourselves, can you? TDS Level: 11

WHAT DOES TRUMP KNOW ABOUT THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG?

The beginning of the end for the traitors.

Mt. Rushmore, Gettysburg... What's next? Liberty Island or Fort Sumter?

Yes because it is a battle field memorial and cemetery. It is not every town square and state capitol.

sucks!!!! Garbage

You are literally doing research to find out why this location would be a negative for Trump's acceptance speech... You just can't help yourself. Amazing.

So Gettysburg celebrates the Union victory but the news media tries to make it fit their narrative.

Gettysburg or White House: Trump narrows RNC speech backdrop choices, decision coming 'soon'President Trump says Gettysburg or the White House will serve as the backdrop for his nomination acceptance speech during the Republican National Convention in 2 weeks. Cool... Your supposed to concentrate on Gettysburg, then get outraged, and wait for the next news story. The RNC political event doesn’t belong at either venue. The politicization of the White House or a place as sacred as Gettysburg is totally inappropriate. What’s wrong with realDonaldTrump’s tacky DC Hotel? The White House and Gettysburg are National sites, not Trump property.
