    he wanted to ban all Muslims.

    he couldnt do it cause its illegal.

    btw, almost all of the 19 hijackers on 9-11 came from countries NOT on Trump's ban.

    real smart huh?

    Nope...he did successful get his ban in place...and saved lives

    ok....9/11 was in 2001...the threat we were dealing with during the Obama Admin and the start of the Trump ADmin was over a decade later.

    And yet he continues to let in people from the Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries that are full of Islamic radicals. Such a brilliant strategy.


    Nobody from Iraq or Iran has ever committed a terrorist attack in the USA.

    Yes because their govts are properly functioning...Syria's wasn't and we had no idea who was escaping with their refugees. It wasn't a ban on Muslims obviously as you claimed

    It obviously worked, hence why we haven't had an attack on the homeland from them since Trump took office.

    Trump keeps Americans safe...Obama and Biden simply didn't care.

    Doesn't change the fact that Trump wanted to ban all Muslims

    Unfortunately, the whole "lost cause" misrepresentation is still popular in the South. Even in our schools.

    Lincoln didn't rebel against our country for the express purpose of furthering racism. If had engaged in such a rebellion, I might be for a statue commemorating his achievements, but he should not appear in the rebellion uniform or bearing the rebellion's symbols for such statues.

    And taking down a statue has nothing to do with "erasing history." The only actual erasing of history we've had regarding the Civil War has come from the pro-Confederate side.

    False. He wanted to ban all Muslims. When he realized it wouldn't pass legal muster, he changed tactics to countries of origin. That was not his initial plan.

    Not true. Even in the highest slave-owning states of the Confederacy, it only rose to around 50% of households. No, not everyone owned one. Especially in the North.

    America never rebelled against their country in order to preserve said racism. They didn't erect flags for the express purpose of celebrating said racism. They didn't form a new country on the basis of racism. The only way to make this comparison is through the most gargantuan failure of history 101 imaginable.
