        It’s pretty bad when you have to back to 1769 to have a comparable moment in history.

        It's also pretty bad that he's reporting this as tho Americans don't already know this. Do Americans really not know this?

        Many do not know. They stopped taking Native Americans away from their families in 1978 - once again 1978 when the US Government stopped taking Native American children away from their families. 1978!

        This is part of a narrative to convince Americans their Nation is flawed at its core. The societal norms of the 18th century are not the norms of today. And immigrant processing is not equitable to slavery. This is ludicrous.

        Slave owning George Washington is a dose of reality exactly at the right time. We confront our own sins of the past, admit them, see the evil for what it is & try to grow beyond it. Trump sees the world in his own reflection, everything's mirrored backwards, 180 degrees wrong.

        1978 is not long ago when the Government stopped taking away Native American children from their parents. They had to be sued by the Native American tribes that started after the Civil War.

        It’s only been 40 years since the Goverment stopped their little practice, not so long ago. Ask the Native Americans in This Here Their Land.

        President Obama didn’t separate families, no other President has done what trump ordered, this is his policy, not President Obama.

        You have zero power to know where George Washington went when he died. You didn't shed one drop of blood for his soul.
