FWIW: On Twitter, Trump clarified his remarks.

Quote:
@realDonaldTrump
President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!

That's a big negatory. Trump isn't naïve as much as he is volitionally, self-righteously, arrogantly stupid with a big dose of cognitive decline thrown in. He doesn't know the difference between the big stuff and the small stuff. So, that takes care of that. He is the impulsive, whiny little brat braying in protest all the way. He, however, has too much ego and too little sense to be embarrassed.

Let's get right on that ---for those of all political stripes--- RIGHT AFTER Trump completes his very thorough and complete psychiatric exam. After all, he's prez and the rest of us aren't.

And we wouldn't want all those intolerant non-liberals to feel left out, now would we?

Trump might have sound idiotic with his Andrew Jackson civil war speech but at least he has more intelligence than most liberals.
I hope those sweeping generalities keep you warm at night. I hate to disabuse you of your security blanket, but none of the above fits any of the many liberals of my acquaintance. I get the feeling you don't know any/many. Most of the liberals I know are smart enough not to spew stupid remarks about things of which they know not because their credibility is important to them. And they don't pathologically lie. Because they want to be perceived as truthful and having integrity. And they do like others to use logic, reason and good sense when formulating and discussing issues.

So how about that Trump?

And do you have any equally negative generalities about your own coterie or other non-liberals? Do tell.

My above post about a comprehensive psych exam for Trump made me think we should start a pool about how many days between now and when he is placed in residence at Shady Pines. Or is that too Middle America? What is a rich guy's Shady Pines? Whatever, I think he's headed that way.

Could that be the REAL reason Republicans voted for Trump? After Bush left office we've been saying he was one of the worst U.S. Presidents in history. So maybe they were determined to prove us wrong.

This is not entirely unexpected when your president starts off sentences like this, "I'm like, a smart person." Anyone who has to tell you they're smart is the complete opposite.

Oh for heavens sake. More than likely after someone in his staff pointed out his mistake.

They have been forced on Southern Christians. Even the mention of Christ and many on here get crazy.

The un-Civil War was unnecessary and brought on by the North being jealous of the South. The North won the war and are still killing people just to be doing it. Of course, I am sure some of you would want to beat me up for telling the truth. There is a difference between true history and recorded history.
What "disgusting sinful things" are you talking about?

I honestly think this wouldn't have been such a huge deal if Trump wasn't saying something stupid, largely or wholly untrue, every single day of his presidency. Its always something with this guy.
