Holy shit. Trump says that as a condition of TikTok's sale, he tried to shake down Oracle to put $5 billion into a fund "so we can educate people as to the real history of our country -- the real history, not the fake."

(15,805 posts)don't pass the public school curriculum? If he's puckering investors to get it off the ground then they will expect to be making a profit off their investment. Who is going to pay? The taxpayers, parents of school kids, private schools... And what percentage does Trump and his crime family skim off the top to line their own pockets?

(21,563 posts)i got a pretty rosy picture of history when i went to school. we talked about slavery but didn't really touch on the horrors of it, what life was like. it is one thing to say someone had to work and live on a plantation but that doesn't really tell you how horrific that life was.
i never knew the founding fathers had slaves until i grew up, let alone that jefferson raped and impregnated a slave.
i grew up believing we were the greatest country in the world and everyone was equal and free and no man was above the law............................... LOL how naive.
so being as THAT was the history i learned... what true history does drumpf want us to learn? i assume it isn't the ACTUAL history i just described above........
