...or who the President was when the Civil War began?

...or who the President was when the Civil War began?

 

Please expand on the thought. I know what point you are trying to make, but many may not.

So Tyler you don't think he knew who was President when it started?

I'm not Tyler but I do wonder what he truly knows and what he thinks he knows.

 

I actually ran across an old article after this week's mishap. When he opened a new golf course in VA he claimed it was on an old Civil War Battlefield and the creek/river was called the River of Blood because of the fighting. Problem was, there was not battle fought there and he just kept doubling down on the made up history.

I'm not exactly sure. I guess I'm just a little bewildered by the amount of overall lack of intelligence President Trump has shown about the office of President of the United States, about its responsibilities and about its past history.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I wonder if POTUS Trump would pass the citizenship test.

If people really believe no do you think Obama thought there were 52 states ?

 

Stories like these are why many hate the media and show the double standard of coverage.

Exactly.

Plenty of outlets had a laugh at Obama over his 52 state comment. Some still do.

 

Trump seems to have a wacky version of history that he narrates to his audience. He brings a lot of this on himself with his foolish historical statements.

 

I find it funny that he makes no attempt to be factual, yet it's the media's fault. :lol2:

I can see the point.

 

But as I mentioned earlier, President Trump seems to double down on his mistakes. Especially in regards to history. If this were his first history flub, I could see it. But it's not.

I remember the media (Rush in particular) blasting Al Gore during his tour of Monticello in 1993. There are busts in Jefferson's study. (Anyone who has been there remembers them). They were of people Jefferson most admired. Gore asked the question, "Who was that?" The closest bust was of George Washington and the media really howled at his inability to recognize the Father of the Nation.

 

But another bust was nearby and I believe that was the one he was really asking about. It's a bust of the Marquis de Lafayette. My guess is that most of us would have asked who that was as well.

 

Media always makes a big deal out of everything and anybody. The difference I'm afraid of is that President Trump never seems to back away from his verbal mistakes or his blatant fabrications as truth, even when proven false.

I can see the point.

So a business owner embellishes a story to help sell his business how unusual.

Obama's comment about 52 states was just his little tribute to ODB's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" if y'all were as down with the Wu-Tang as Obama, you'd have gotten it too.
