Trump's response is even more stunning when you remember he just said in *March* he was reading a book abt Jackson https://t.co/mDrgLWyxQM pic.twitter.com/PUiuDDuSqr

Trump says a genocidal slaveowner could have avoided Civil War (which ended slavery) & claims Jackson was upset by the war (he died in 1845) pic.twitter.com/Grzr2Usmxy

President Trump doesn't understand why there was a Civil War.

It's because my ancestors and millions of others were enslaved. https://t.co/dFjpbp1pUy

DT not knowing Andrew Jackson died before Civil War is not surprising. He is a complete and utter moron. Impeach. Treason. #trumprussia
