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.”
There you go now sign executive order to stop the discrimination against conservatives in schools and in soc media

Congress, I sure hope you’re busy because Executive orders just don’t do it! Back your president, the president we elected!
The Executive Order King.

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

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
