“Here’s the audio on that Trump answer: “Why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?” https://t.co/tEUFGRDMSM”
What's most weird about is that he's acting like he'd be anti-war, that people should just work it out… but he's also beating the drum of war right now.
"Here's the exchange:
TRUMP: [Jackson] was a swashbuckler. But when his wife died, did you know he visited her grave everyday? I visited her grave actually because I was in Tennessee.
ZITO: That's right. You were in Tennessee.
TRUMP: And it was amazing. The people of Tennessee are amazing people. They love Andrew Jackson. They love Andrew Jackson in Tennessee.
ZITO: He's fascinating.
TRUMP: I mean, had Andrew Jackson been a little later, you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said, “There's no reason for this.” People don't realize, you know, the Civil War — if you think about it, why? People don't ask that question, but why was there a Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?"
There would have been no Civil War if Jackson was a little later? Gosh, might it be because Jackson owned slaves?
"What'd those brown people with absolutely fabulous job security have to lose???"
