Of all the monuments of our past that BLM tore down, why would Trump chose to put the Albert Pike statue back up?

Almost every democrat is Congress during the early half of this century belonged to the KKK. Robert Byrd for instance, that many democrats today were friends with. Pike was a Confederate general. You don't go around taking statues down just because you don't like them. Its history that should not be erased.

A public statue isn’t a history lesson, it’s a celebration. If someone fought to keep people enslaved, they don’t deserve a place of honor in our public spaces.

We shouldn’t venerate or honor the Grand Master of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite who openly defended slavery and white supremacy. He was a evil man… pure evil.

It's not just this. Now he's instructing the Smithsonian to sanitize everything he doesn't like.

So, what about all the slaves in the Northern states that weren't freed. Delaware being the last to free slaves. Slavery was not abolished after the Civil war and many Union generals that kept slaves. Nobody is a saint. General Grant's family owned many after the war. Grant himself was not anti slavery. It wasn't until the 13TH amendment was passed that many northern states banned slavery. So, by your reasoning all statues should come down. Thomas Jefferson had 300 slaves. Sherman wiped out thousands of Indians and almost annihilated all the buffalo.

Trump chose the Pike statue because Pike is the perfect symbol of hate, division, and provocation, exactly the kind of figure to inflame the left.

I'm not a big Biden fan. I didn't vote for him, but I don't remember him sowing nearly the kind of hate and division Trump has.
I’m not a fan of Biden or the left either but he’s been just as divisive as Trump, just in a different style. Calling MAGA Republicans “semi-fascists,” staging the ominous red-lit “Dark Brandon” speech to warn about “extremism,” telling the unvaccinated his “patience is wearing thin,” mocking gun owners with “you’d need an F-15 to take on the government,” and labeling Georgia’s voting law “Jim Crow 2.0” all poured gasoline on the left-vs-right fire.

It’s still the politics of provocation—just packaged in a blue hat instead of a red hat.

I never felt intimidated by Biden. Trump's another story.

Brother, it doesn't matter what Trump does ...even raping and trafficking girls, and murder. He said it himself and it's true ...he could shoot someone in a crowd of his followers and they'd still vote for him. And Trump calls "his people" ...."so smart"?? Is that their definition of smart???!! I guess so ....calling evil good, and calling good evil.

Yes.....because his mentor/"pastor" was a freemason, and he is a freemason.

We used to have only one group of people with the Woke mind virus, but now we have the Woke left and the Woke Right.

He’s doing everything in his power to create hate and division just like Biden did. It’s like tag team wrestling.
True, and yet the difference with Trump is that he is much higher up the cult ladder than any before him.

Marina Abromovich, however you spell her name, said he’s one of the most powerful chaos magicians in the world.

Is it like war memorials....which glorify the killing of others in a backhanded way....by presenting the fallen as a kind of martyr?

Trump Excoriates the Democrat Party on Truth Social: “The Democrats Party Is Dead!… The Party of Hate, Evil, and Satan”
The Democrat and Republican parties are both dead. Trump is implementing AI governance, elected officials are no longer needed.
