Good orange man. Standing up against cuckholdry

That makes sense, support traitors over our service members.

Trump 2020.. keep our nation's history alive

The USA has many other more important things to worry about and spend more money on now.

In this photo he is looking more and more like a man of color.

don-the-con trump is NOT: honorable, lawyer, religious, Republican, Patriot, brave, compassionate, minister, MD, x-military, CFA, historian, patriot, literate, CPA, diplomat, honest, TAX PAYER, chemist, trustworthy, farmer, FAITHFUL husband, law&order president, psychologist.

if he was a school kid, he'd have got all those '90s mean cartoon characters. silverlining

Bravo Best POTUS Ever 👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 SAVE OUR HISTORY

He loves slave traders

piersmorgan He loves those historical bigots

The knee jerk reactions are too much. Good for him.

Remove Trump.

Renaming military bases should not be anyones primary focus in Congress right now.

Evil. Corrupt. Incompetent. Racist. Immature. Temper Tantrum trump

I mean he’s let troops be killed before so why not? 🤷🏻‍♂️

He should veto it. Complete waste of taxpayer money.

'With racist tweet President Trump threatens.....' Fixed it for you.

policom8 Keep it up Donald, just lost more voters by attacking Elizabeth Warren and lost more black voters. How you plan on losing Latino voters

Well, he’s a piece of shit, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

We see your priorities Russia nope eating a mask nope police brutality nope but renaming and statutes yep most important

As he should!

Good

It’s not a threat. He will.

Throwing red meat to his base again.

ClancyReports It's all virtue signaling. Trump is more guilty of it than Warren but it's all still just theater while Americans starve and are put out onto the streets.

History must be remembered in context not erased or the progress from then to now is lost

Guess what, not only is there a plan for that, but THAT IS THE PLAN.

Why are they even sending bills like this to his desk. The man is clearly a racist who only have 3 little months left in office. They can remove the names in January when JoeBiden is president.

Let him do this. The military already feels some kind of way about him. What do you think this action of his will do to the sentiment? Trump intends to lose the election. That will be ok with him if he gets to gut this place 1st.

Well... NotMyPresident VoteBlueToSaveAmerica AgainstRacism

he gonna slice up some fresh contracts

He is no longer hiding who he is.

You really don't have to do a lot of thinking to figure out why a guy from Queens is so invested in the Confederacy. RacismMustFall

He's the best president the confederacy ever had 🙄

What a wonderful way to use the power of the presidency 🙄

America, this is what we call a slam dunk, and Dumb Donald Trump is going to not fund soldiers fighting America's wars over the Confederate 'Flags, Statues, Monuments, and Military Bases'.

His balls may be orange, but at least he’s got a pair.

The republicans backed this measure, as well.

Second President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Trump.

Poor bastard, hes got nothin...ppl dying, world turning its back, riots in the streets, and this is whats important......

Trump does more to protect dead traitors than he does living Americans.

realDonaldTrump cares more for dead traitors than living US service personnel.

Trump is also an Epstein john. What happened to pressing for more information on all the rapes trump has allegedly committed?

Stands with confederate statues. Not today’s American soldiers. ResignNow TrumpKnewAndDidNothing

Trump's Legacy doesn't stand a chance, if tearing down crusty old monuments to white supremacy catches on.

MaryCarper12 Bring it on realDonaldtrump Let America see the depth of your racism.

Of course he is.

Hmmm racism

Great! Stop this insane BS in its tracks.

People who are against confederate monuments should sign this petition

Does Germany have statues of Hitler, Goebbles, Goring, Rommel etc...?

bad photoshop. u forgot the neck and ears

Trump wants to keep them there so they don't have to rename them in the CSA which will reform after they lose in November.... but then it will ultimately collapse economically anyway as they won't have the blue states to subsidize their tax base.

Man, would you expect anything less?

He really is desperate to win the votes of the Dukes of Hazzard isn't he?

Can he just come out and say he’s racist

Look it up every one of those confederate names on all of those bases were Democrats. This isn’t about “removing the confederacy” this is about Democrats wanting to erase history. I say let’s keep the names let’s remember what Democrats did. Because they will do it again
