As @realDonaldTrump golfs this Memorial Day weekend while Americans continue to die due to his failed leadership, here’s a photo of a monument he placed along the Potomac at his VA golf course, which is as fake as his Putin installed presidency.

The plaque of @realDonaldTrump honoring a civil war battle that never occurred, which he branded “River of Blood,” sits under a massive American flag; which is now symbolic of the immeasurable damage he continues to cause our nation, including through disinformation warfare.

Historians reached out to Donald Trump when he first memorialized a civil war battle that never happened. They asked him not to rewrite history, but he dismissed them and the fake memorial remains today where he golfs as he allows Americans to perish.

Coincidentally, “Rivers of Blood” was a 1968 speech delivered by a conservative British MP - Enoch Powell. It was anti-immigrants and seen as a blatant demonstration of racism. Unlike Trump, Powell was held accountable by his own party for his hate rhetoric and divisiveness. 4/4
