Trump is succeeding in getting confederate symbols removed where Obama failed. Maybe he is playing chess, after all.

Looks like the Nazi/KKK march at Charlottesville backfired on the Nazi/KKK groups. Since their march, many statues across that nation have been removed from public places quickly - as a direct response to the Charlottesville activities.

Their statue-saving plan failed. However, they never really cared about some dumb statues in parks at far away cities. They just want to Make America White Again and so does the President. The President gave them approval.

You would a thought hundreds and hundreds of Baltimoreans getting murdered would have enraged some people but I guess not....people there only get enraged when someone dies at the hands of a cop or if a racist somewhere else killed somebody.

Don't look now, but the statues are only a pretext. The Nazis and the Klan have a friend in the White House (or on the golf course if you prefer). They feel empowered and are emboldened and won't go away until Trump does.

Well, it happened whether people liked it or not. No protestors trying to keep them there either.

Good! Any symbol of the confederacy and its fighters need to be abolished; not celebrated. Let the wave continue.
