Netizens were up in arms on Wednesday, slamming US President Donald Trump after he issued a series of tweets in which he stated that he was not interested in the idea…
In his tweets, Trump referred to the bases named after Confederate military figures, including Fort Bragg, Fort Hood and Fort Benning, as “Hallowed Grounds” where soldiers that won two world wars were trained. He added that the administration “will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.”
Trump’s words were met with widespread backlash by netizens, with many pointing out that the Confederate states, which had seceded from the Union, lost the American Civil War that took place between 1861 and 1865.
