Statues and Monuments Campaign

[okfine]

Trump thinks about one thing and that's all. Re-election. He has people around him that privately say his scorched earth campaign will cost him just that... re-election.

Will the statue shit work? Confederate flags are going away and NASCAR said it doesn't need Trump's support. Things are changing and preservation of the Confederate South in the South is changing with it. Disappearing in 2020.
