    Another trump history lesson

    Donald Trump's mention of the "beautiful" Battle of Gettysburg during a campaign rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday got the former president some attention on social media, with users wondering what his rambling "rant" was about.

    "Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was," Trump said while addressing the crowd in the town and wearing a Make America Great Again hat. "It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country," he continued.

    "Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch," he said. "And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his big general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late," Trump added.

    Odd, I'd always heard, "War is hell." I may be mistaken, but I highly doubt a person would claim, "War is heavenly."

    Another "gift" left behind for the faithful in Pa on Saturday was this little deranged claim:

    He was referencing his brain scan - which found nothing.

    Trump is indeed an asshole. So it comes down too do you want a geriatric fool to represent you as a puppet of far left radical audiology or do you want an asshole narcissist. Sad state of affairs
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    I'm thinking we've got two geriatric fools running for office.
