Where does Trump see 'beauty' in confederate monuments?? All I see is supremacy and intimidation. [View all]

Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump 44m44 minutes ago
Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.

...the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!

...this is a very bad person - not merely crazy, sick, or inept - Donald Trump is vile and contemptible.

He's determined to force his inner bigotry on the American public, desperately looking for someone to validate his most racist and divisive instincts and beliefs. He's not fit to enjoy the benefits of our diverse and magnanimous nation, or, much less, be president.
