Trump Loves Genocidal Maniac Christopher Columbus

Trump proclaimed his respect for Columbus on Twitter. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Hannah Cranston, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss.

"resident Trump does not acknowledge Native Americans in his first proclamation of Columbus Day, breaking with his predecessor.

Trump’s proclamation — issued Friday — celebrates Christopher Columbus’s role in launching the “age of exploration and discovery” and acknowledges the contributions of Italian Americans to the country.

 “The permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great Nation,” Trump’s proclamation reads.

“Therefore, on Columbus Day, we honor the skilled navigator and man of faith, whose courageous feat brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions — even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.”
