FLASHBACK: Trump Predicted The Left Would Eventually Go After Statues Of Thomas Jefferson (VIDEO)

-

The city of New York is about to remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson from their city hall.

You know who predicted this? Trump. Way back in 2017, when the left was working so hard to remove a Confederate statue, Trump knew exactly where this was headed next.

And when he said it, the media scoffed at him.

Look at the way NBC News reported it at the time:

Statues of Washington, Jefferson Aren’t ‘Next,’ But It’s Complicated, Historians Say

President Donald Trump has decried calls to remove the “beautiful” Lee statue, and others honoring the Confederacy, claiming that the nation’s “history and culture is being ripped apart” and asking where it might end.

“This week it’s Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really do have to ask yourself: ‘Where does it stop?'” Trump asked at a Tuesday press conference…

Is the president right about the impending threat to the founders? Historians who spoke to NBC News said such fears are slightly misplaced and that Trump is championing a murky interpretation of history…

“The president can raise the slippery slope, but it’s a false slippery slope,” said Kevin Levin, a Boston-based historian who specializes in American Civil War history.

Here’s what Trump said:

NYC votes to remove statue of Thomas Jefferson

This shows the distorted perspective in current debate on history. To even contemplate that simply owning slaves outweighs writing the Declaration of Independence is beyond absurd. It's an assault on America.https://t.co/LADCepu3HY

The left made fun of Trump for saying this would happen, but once again he was right.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
