    Why does this ignorant jack-ass feel the need to prove his ignorance daily.

    Trump during an interview that airs Monday questioned why the country had a Civil War and suggested former President Andrew Jackson could have prevented it had he served later.

    "I mean had Andrew Jackson been a little bit later you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart," Trump said during an interview with the Washington Examiner's Salena Zito.

    "He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, 'There's no reason for this.'"

    Jackson, the nation's seventh president, died in 1845. The Civil War began in 1861.
    (16 years later)

    Your facts are not welcome by the Trump FanBoys and their glorious leader. Go away.

    I'd be surprised if his administration does not collectively crap their pants each time this idiot has to speak publicly on subjects that are above third grade level.

    So do you think if George Washington was still around there would have been a Civil War.

    How does Trump's statement not square with history? MANY people hold the opinion that Lincoln sought out the Civil War, and Trump's - and many other's - opinion is that, had Jackson lived longer and served when Lincoln did, the Civil War could have been averted.

    What's your beef? Other than your knee-jerk reaction to anything Trump says?

    Who knows, who cares? Do you think if Julius Caesar had been around in 1945 that Hitler would have stabbed him? It's speculation, Trump merely commented Lincoln shat the bed on how he handled things.

    I simply laugh at a lot of Trump quips. Why? Because those quotes send his haters into a death spiral ending with their heads exploding. He's a lot like Joe Biden in that regard but 20 times smarter. :banana:

    Yes, ignore the fact that our dumbshit of a President said the following:
    • Nobody has asked the question, "Why did we have the Civil War?"
    • Andrew Jackson was "really angry" when the Civil War happened, even though Jackson had died 16 years previously

    I am appalled that such a lying ignoramus is our president.

    Sure we can play this game ... If Jackson had been President later in our history, he would have been charged with Crimes Against Humanity for his treatment of American Indians.

    Yes, saying things that are demonstrably untrue and make our president look like a moron are positive qualities. :roll:

    Bingo!!! Someone finally nailed it. Jackson was the first to do a "trail of tears" tour. Trump is a modern day Jackson, no Hillary and no safe spaces. :banana:

    And they'd be wrong.

    Look, there's no need to defend the doofus Trump on this pile of stupidity he spit out.

    I guess to Trump FanBoys, Crimes Against Humanity is a good thing. Well, if you're going to fly a freak flag, you might as well fly it high and proud.

    And you are another poster who ignores the two main things people are laughing at Trump over: his claim that "Nobody has asked why the Civil War happened", and his claim that Andrew Jackson was "really angry" when the Civil War broke out, despite having died 16 years before.

    Trump is an ignorant dimwit. Own it.

    You don't mind government taking from others to pay for your desires, so why would you care about government sanctioned slavery?
