Donald Trump Sad To See Confederate Monuments Being Taken Down

“You really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Trump asked.

His tweets on the issue came after White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told The New York Times he thought Trump could win a battle with “the left” over the statues, arguing Trump’s rhetoric “connects with the American white people about their history, culture and traditions.”

“The race-identity politics of the left wants to say it’s all racist,” Bannon said. “Just give me more. Tear down more statues. Say the revolution is coming. I can’t get enough of it.”
