President Trump announced Friday that he signed an executive order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues and threatened those who try to pull them down with “long prison time.”

The initial statues under fire were Confederate soldiers and generals largely in the South due to the treatment of African-Americans, and even some high-level military officials called for the renaming of Army bases named after Confederate generals. The anger has since spread to monuments of former presidents and others deemed to be “colonizers,” such as Christopher Columbus, and even some who fought against slavery.

Last weekend protesters tied ropes and tried to topple a statue of former president Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Square Park, but were stopped by law enforcement. This week McConnell listed the monuments that have been defaced in recent days—noting that in Portland, Ore., a mob “graffitied a statue of our first President, pulled it down, and burned an American flag over his head. This is George Washington.”

Of course he did. He's building a giant statue of himself which he will erect right outside the white house. It will be in copper to compliment his skin.

Failed miserably at saving 125,000 American lives. Christians now see you as the weak, corrupt person you are. TrumpVirus

Thank you stop this insanity

this just means he's planning a Trump statue doesn't it...

What about lives?

Are there any left now

this is called 'idolatry'... look it up

Addressing the big issues of the time I see

Great this means the Confederate statues can come down right? They were TRAITORS to the United States

I guess American lives and troops aren’t worth protecting

He’s so delusional. Monuments and Statues are a priority over the health of actual people. He’s a terrible human. What a disaster.

He thinks he’s president of the Confederacy

REMEMBER, Trump Republicans voted for five new health systems, and all provided less coverage, did not cover pre-existing conditions, and cost more for what you got. Trump Republicans do not help Americans. Anyone but a Trump Republican. VOTE

The Man cares about protesting statues of traitors. NOT finding a way to deal with the Corona Virus.. it is taking American lives.. !! wake up...!

He protects traitorous statues? Why doesn't he want to protect American lives? Just tweet to your base that they should wear masks! That's literally all it would take to save thousands of lives!

So many more important things he could be doing...like telling his followers to wear masks.

Proud to protect monuments instead of the living. What a joke

TurkeyIsBombingKurds

But living Americans are dying by the thousands.

Too busy protecting statues of the defenders of slavery to protect living people from a pandemic, I guess.

And I'll keep the faith that you'll take the reins And hold on tight and calm this crazy down. Somewhere between Jesus and Jones.

He's planning a 200 ft statue of himself for outside the White House.

That’s nice. He has more empathy for statues than people. Good to know.

Outstanding!!

To bad our MEN and WOMEN in the ARMED FORCES aren't

How about protecting the American people.

If realDonaldTrump can't convince Congress to support his agenda and has to sign executive orders, maybe he isn't as good at doing deals as he claims to be.

Good about time Hope it contains jail time and extra large fines so they can be replaced

Awesome-----God Bless Trump

But realDonaldTrump POTUS allows our protected lands and monuments to be developed! This is insulting.

The European union has barred American travelers to Europe!!! Thanks to the trump administration!! Pandemic pandemic pandemic Good job IDIOT

Confederates are traitors as is Putin fanboy and the Anti Americans who vote for him

Trump event speaker criticized for calling Aunt Jemima a 'picture of the American dream'In reality, there is no historical evidence Green was ever made wealthy by the partnership, despite the company using her likeness on their pancake syrup. Aunt Jemima wasn’t a real person, but she and her fictitious husband and “pickaninnie” children were based on slave archetypes. There was an entirely false backstory about her selling her recipe. It was all racist nonsense. People who think otherwise, do some research for once. McEnany's twin! (both evil, in case you are curious) The criticism is unwarranted; Aunt Jemima was a very successful individual in her time-look it up; sad her image is being used by idiots and morons to paint a different picture

Trump is not just in denial but also indifferent to an unfolding American tragedyIt's a 'public health train wreck in slow motion,' in the words of one health expert, and the best President Donald Trump cares to offer the thousands more Americans projected to shortly die of Covid-19 is the unsubstantiated prospect of a 'beautiful surprise.' StCollinson Bias alert!!! StCollinson Sorry but CNN doesn’t have any credibility left StCollinson we are not so powerful anymore. We have become the laughingstock of the world. Thanks maggots

Student At Trump Rally Calls Aunt Jemima Character 'The American Dream'A student at a Trump event this week made the argument that the character on the Aunt Jemima syrup bottle was 'a picture of the American dream.' All Trump supporters need mental and psychological exams- like they are all fucked up. She was probably going with the internet lie that Green was slave who was freed and died a millionaire. Let's think about that, some white dude freed Green and gave her, her millions 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂 nope.
