55. I don't hold them to a different standard

I put this right up there with all politicians and citizens who were bullied and insulted by him over and over for a decade now but still bend over for him. My comment was directed toward those that obviously don't know history or what that statue represented. The fact the some moron(s) stood behind trump with "Blacks for Trump" tshirts makes them subjects of ridicule. I could care less what their motives were for doing it.
