Twitter took the p*** out of Trump’s ‘beautiful statues’ comments
After the violence that marked the Charlottesville white nationalist rally to protest the removal of a confederate general statue, one might think that the POTUS would have words of condemnation for the protesters.
However, Donald Trump took to both Twitter and an official press conference to support the reasons for the rally, saying: 'This week, it is Robert E. Lee and this week, Stonewall Jackson.'
'Is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You have to ask yourself, where does it stop?'
Twitter users were less than impressed with the stance of the POTUS, and, like many things on the internet, have meme-ified the president's statements.
Digging up some of the most questionable statues in global history, Tweeters are clapping back.
