Trump PRAISES General Lee at OHIO Campaign Rally = WTF?

[Cellblock2429]

Trump: 'Robert E. Lee was a great general'

POTUS Trump went on an extended rant praising Civil War era Confederate General Robert E. Lee during a campaign rally before an Ohio audience.

"So Robert E. Lee was a great general. And Abraham Lincoln developed a phobia. He couldn’t beat Robert E. Lee."

"He was going crazy. I don’t know if you know this story. But Robert E. Lee was winning battle after battle after battle. And Abraham Lincoln came home, he said, 'I can’t beat Robert E. Lee,' " Trump said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems odd that Trump chose an Ohio audience to be the recipient of such a strange rant, considering that many prominent Union Army members came from Ohio, General Grant being likely the most notable.

I don't believe Ohioans know shit about Civil War history but it sure seems surreal for any POTUS to be heaping praise on General Lee in old Union Army territory. And this is going on in 2018. WTF?

WTF is Trump doing; Quaaludes, Mary Jane, both, more?

Robert E. Lee was against Slavery.

General Lee was fighting for The Confederacy so, he was siding with those that supported slavery.

“He was not a pro-slavery ideologue,” Eric Foner, a Civil War historian, author and professor of history at Columbia University, said of Lee. “But I think equally important is that, unlike some white southerners, he never spoke out against slavery.”

Abraham Lincoln ordered his generals to not molest slave owners and to return runaway slaves in Maryland, Kansas, Kentucky and Missouri *unless the master was disloyal to the Union*.

Isn't it time to and add an update to your OP?

If our POTUS actually knew how to communicate effectively, and could actually utilize the English language correctly, none of the confusion would have ensued.
I said it before more than once & I will say it again: Trump either has some really shitty speech writers, or he just spews crap to see where it sticks; maybe both.

His perception of the Civil War sounds like it came from a third grade textbook

Gotta love the shifting goal posts here. First it was “Trump praises general lee even though he’s at a Ohio rally where General Grant is from, can you believe it!? Trump just loves those racist generals. What an insult to Ohio.”

Now it’s “the way he talked about the civil war is confusing, or it’s too simplified.” It’s a rally where he is telling a quick story, he’s not giving an entire dissertation on the Civil War, it’s a fucking rally. Everyone at the rally or who heard the speech in context completely understood, pretty much all the people the left deems as stupid deplorables. The only ones who didn’t “understand” are the ass hats who got the story secondhand from blantantly dishonest sources.

Trump WAS praising General Lee & Trump was also butchering the segue; typical idiot.

 

[caddo kid]

Lee was a great general. He kicked the filthy Yankee's asses until he ran out of supplies.

Once again Trump gets it right.

Which prolonged the war for at least 2 extra years killing thousands and starving thousands. No wonder you admire him.

Lincoln could have ended the war anytime he wanted. Why don't you bitch about him?

Lincoln got what he deserved; history.

 

[Flash]

Lincoln started the goddamn war for real when he sent his filthy ass thug army across the Potomac River to kill Americans and take away their arms.

Let's face it.

If you incredibly dumb and lazy white southerners had not been TOO LAZY to tend your own crops... this never would've happened...

and you started it at Ft Sumter.

You must only have a Jr High School knowledge of history. Typical ignorance for a Moon Bat.

There was a truce at Ft Sumter as there was at other Federal facilities in the secession states.

Almost the day after that asshole Lincoln took office he arrange to have that truce broken in order to have an excuse for war. He sent a supply ship to Ft Sumter in violation of the truce. He initiated the hostilities at Ft Sumter. For some reason the winners of the war failed to mention that much in the history books.

However, Ft Sumter was not what started the killing of the war. In fact nobody died due to hostile action during the incident. The real war started when that piece of shit sent an army across the Potomac River to kill Americans.

There was no "truce."

You guys attacked a US military installation, and your sorry rears ended up getting blown out by a superior breed of white.

His perception of the Civil War sounds like it came from a third grade textbook

His odd speaking style has been repeatedly discussed, and being annoyed by it is certainly understandable.


BUT if that is preventing you from seeing that what he said, was, A fine, and B, historically accurate,


then that was on you.


Now that that has been explained to you, if you are still pretending to not understand, you are just being a dick.

No...he spoke as though his audience had no idea who Grant or Lee was
His comments were very simplistic and he spoke as though he was being profound.

Our President is not the sharpest crayon in the box

I respect that you find his speaking style annoying.

But that is all you've got.


Trying to pretend anything else is going on here, is just you libs reaching, and quite pathetically.

Hes gone from claiming that Trump was "praising Lee' to whining that Trump didnt speak well. Is that progress?

Trump WAS praising General Lee & Trump was also butchering the segue; typical idiot.

Well its funny how the things I personally feel would redeem Robert E. Lee are things most of the neo-confederates ignore or try to revise....like how he wouldn't be a fan of this cult of neo-confederates opining about how the South should have won, etc etc etc

Robert E. Lee was indeed a great man. Your lack of historical knowledge and perspective does not change that. It just means you're ignnorant.

I never said Lee wasn't a great General.

You missed the point.

You drank the grape kool-aid.

“He was not a pro-slavery ideologue,” Eric Foner, a Civil War historian, author and professor of history at Columbia University, said of Lee. “But I think equally important is that, unlike some white southerners, he never spoke out against slavery.”

Throughout the Civil War slavery was legal and protected in the North. Abraham Lincoln ordered his generals to not molest slave owners and to return runaway slaves in Maryland, Kansas, Kentucky and Missouri *unless the master was disloyal to the Union*. Delaware and Maryland retained slavery throughout the Civil War and the Federal Government enforced the Fugitive Slave Act and returned runaway slaves to their masters.
General Lee no more sided with slavery than did George Washington, Zachary Taylor, Thomas Jefferson or James Madison...or even Abraham Lincoln.

"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."

Read the whole address. Count how many times Lincoln said the slavery was protected by the Constitution. I count seven.

Lincoln was a two faced lying SOS on the issue of slavery but at least he got what he deserved, in the end.

Lincoln stated he had no intent to end slavery EXCEPT he did just that.

The US Constitution mentioned nothing of secession; that was ultimately determined at Appomattox.

Hahaha he wasn’t praising Lee on his politics, he was “praising” (really just describing the situation historically accurate) his ability as a general. Are you really gonna try to say that Lee was not a good general? He was telling an underdog story, with General grant as the underdog hero. A guy who everyone told Lincoln not to go with because he was a drunk, he was this, he was that. And Grant went up against an undefeated army and stopped them dead in their tracks. How exactly is trump supposed to describe Lee in your opinion. That he was terrible as a general and ate more ass than a bear...that’s a pretty shitty underdog story, and it’s not accurate.

So tell us, how are we supposed to describe General Lee if we’re not allowed to talk about how good he was as a general.

You see; that's the whole thing. IF Trump had a brain he NEVER WOULD HAVE MENTIONED Lee, period.

[/QUOTE]

He was exactly right...until. Lee surrendered and the South went through Reconstruction..and then was left alone. Southerners fought in every war and vigorously defended the United States since being forced back into the Union. Unlike, for example, Northern Ireland, or pick any place, the South didnt go to gorilla warfare as a matter of policy. Its leaders surrendered and, like Lee above, asked their people to peacefully support the United States.
Predicated on Grant and Lincolns promise to not commit cultural genocide. We were not only allowed but encouraged to honor the Confederates after the war. The United States honored them with US Veteran status and paid for monuments and parks to honor their memory. If they want to treat the South like a conquered territory then Lee's agreement doesnt apply.
Grant met Lee in uniform. Treated with him as a soldier. And allowed the men who had just been fighting the Union army to keep their horses personal effects. Not one mention of "traitor" or "enemy". Not one soldier ever prosecuted.

You are a tool of Marxists.And they will come after you next. Confederates are just the first American targets. I promise you, without doubt, that they will be tearing down Washington's statues if they are allowed to keep this ISIS like behavior up. They hate Washing as much as they hate Lee. They just find in Lee an easier political target for now.

You are a confused man. Point being that Lee didnt fight for slavery any more than Lincoln fought to end it. Or any more than Washington fought for slavery though he did fight for a slave owning country.
As I have said before I think your hatred extends to all Americans. Lee just happens to be the easier political first target.
Are you going to attack anyone who praises Lincoln next?

By the way Lincoln didnt end slavery. The 13th amendment, which *every* southern state voted for, ended slavery after Lincoln was in his grave.
