You can 't even write a coherent title, " I just this guy", and you want to criticize someone else!

Christopher Columbus was Italian . Discovered America in 1492. Everyone should know that. We are connected. The United States and Italy.

Of course I wouldn't, but knowing Trump's inability to state anything at all with a factual basis, the likelihood of him saying grass is green are odds that even Jimmy The Greek wouldn't touch.

AND, you cannot possibly be that totally disconnected with the rather glaring (neon) irony of your "diehard team supporter" comment?

Naah! America was discovered and more recently discovered settlements of over two hundred years duration were founded LONG before Columbus was even a gleam in his great, great, great, great …. great, grandaddy's eye. Other "Americans" than those residing in the U.S. have no problem with this fact.

Ooops! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...that-he-didnt/

The whole Columbus thing is just another bit of "fake news"...……

Why do you ask this question?
In the answer of that question is the only way logically speaking could Trump's statement be made a true statement.

“The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years, to ancient Rome …” ~ Donald Trump ~

You said and I quote:

An elementary level understanding of sentence structure will make life easier for you ...
So explain, how you see that Trump's statement is true, seeing as how Ancient Rome had long since passed, before the u.s. was even thought about.

Well, I'm certainly glad he didn't claim he'd visited all 57 states!

Naah. Hate, hate, hate. The only interpretation the Democrats will buy is that Trump believed what any 6th grader knows isn't true. It's the only interpretation they WANT to have.

Oddest thing about their hate-driven "beliefs", is that they think any normal people will believe them.
Butthurt Trump supporter is butthurt.

two left leaning sources have shot down your claim. snopes and factcheck.org.

Quote:
In his opening remarks during the joint press conference, Trump said: “The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years, to ancient Rome.” Trump said that Italy and the U.S. share a cultural and political heritage — not a formal alliance — that dates to ancient Rome.

Trump noted the long-standing alliance between the two countries in his statements throughout the day. For example, Trump said in the Oval Office meeting that the U.S. has “had a great relationship with Italy for a long time.” Trump does not mention ancient Rome in that meeting at all.

His polls would soar if he did shut up and cease to tweet whatever pops into his head.

My vision for the eventual Trump library/ museum includes enlarging and imprinting every single Tweet in chronological order.
