Trump Defends People Who Love the Confederate Flag

The Associated Press reports that President Trump is defending the people who support the Confederate flag, claiming that he “knows people who love the Confederate flag, and they're not thinking about slavery.”

Well, I do have to admit that I fully agree with the President when he says - “people who support the Confederate flag aren't thinking!” So, they aren’t thinking about slavery? And, to think all this time, we all assumed there was actually a reason behind why those folks were flying Confederate flags at Klan rallies.

I suppose they just must think that flag’s awfully damn pretty. Anyway, I assume that also means that all those folks who fancy the Nazi swastika, aren’t really thinking about the Holocaust - they just happen to love geometry.

Now, what I’d like to know is, do you suppose all those Trump supporters, who just love to brag about how their party is the “party of Lincoln,” ever feel just a wee bit ironic saying that - while they’re proudly waving a “Confederate flag?”

Of course, as we all know, the only flag the Confederates ever flew, which truthfully defines what they’re really all about - was when they flew that “white flag” of surrender.
