CORRECTION: An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as "incredible" at a rally in Ohio. It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee. An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark. Here is the full clip.

Really? Nearly 320,000 Ohioans served in the Union Army, more than any other Northern state except New York and Pennsylvania. 6,835 men were killed in action. They are spinning in their graves tonight.

There is zero percent chance that Trump knows anything that Robert E. Lee did. The only information he knows about him is that he was a Confederate General that fought for slavery. This is what makes him a great general in Trump’s mind.

When someone says "General Lee," Trump thinks they're talking about the Duke boys' car.
