Trump defends Confederate statues, says foolish to remove them

Thursday, August 17, 2017 0
US President Donald Trump has expressed his sadness to see the  history and culture of the US being ripped apart with the removal of Confederate statues and monuments around the country. 

Sharing his views on Twitter on Thursday, Trump described it as “so foolish,” and according to him, the beauty is being taken out of American cities, and they cannot be replaced

Trump called them "our beautiful statues and monuments" and said "you can't change history, but you can learn from it".

Local and state officials have renewed pushes to remove Confederate imagery from public property since the violence and death of a woman in Charlottesville, Virginia, during a white nationalist rally over the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue.

 Baltimore and other cities have already removed or covered up Confederate statues.

Trump was met with lots of criticism when he spoke out on Tuesday in defence of the white supremacist groups that gathered in Charlottesville, over the weekend for a “Unite the Right” rally.

The groups — including Neo-Nazis and the KKK — got into violent clashes with those opposed to them, leading to the death of one woman who was mowed down by a car during the counter protests. ​
