MW “I think that Ft Bragg, Ft Robert E Lee… all of these forts that have been named that way for a long time -decades and decades
Wallace: the military says they are for it” (renaming)
Trump: “Excuse me, I don’t care what the military says, I’m supposed to make the decision. Ft Brag is a big deal. We won two world wars. Nobody even knows General Bragg. We won two worlds. Two world wars…beautiful world wars…”
(WWI. 40 million casualties 20 m deaths, WWII. 70-85 million deaths. Trump’s truly beautiful wars!!!)

From NYT article:
”You want a confederate monument? My body is a confederate monument. The black people I come from were owned and raped by the white people I come from. Who dares to tell me to celebrate them?”
