So he's a convicted felon rapist who can't pass the citizenship test… probably should deport him

Trump also said in the past that the Continental Army took over the airfields during the American Revolutionary War.

He's not the best at history.

We had the best airfields during the revolutionary war. We dominated the skies. A lot of people don’t know this but the Air Force helped us defeat the British.

Nah, back then it was still the Army Air Corps. Separated under Buchanan

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

A fellow history buff I see. I just find it amazing that Washington had the foresight to destroy all of the British air bases throughout the colonies.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Deport him.

Meh. This is up there with him saying "fuck". I don't really care if he knows a date off the top of his head - it's a non-issue.

I'm far more concerned about him shitting on the Constitution, turning the military and federal law enforcement on US citizens, metaphorically raping the economy, literally raping women, and his long list of actual crimes he's committed against the US.

He unleashes an actually-impactful scandal on daily basis: let's not get distracted by petty shit.

Yeah but he can identify person, woman, man, camera, TV...

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

With a 50% success rate

[–] nshibj@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That was 5 years ago. Make him take the test again

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 4 days ago

He's stupid, he's ignorant and he's hateful

The worst thing of all is that there are millions of people who think these are good traits...

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago

He probably knows more about Russia than America.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Phew! Good thing he was born here. What...?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 4 days ago

He's american, he couldn't pass most tests.

I want to shit down this guy's throat and make him choke to death on my diarrhea but this is just a stupid fucking knowing the date kind of thing

Disagree. If it's knowledge that's needed to gain citizenship, and he's calling to strip citizenship, he should at least know "the date of a thing," yes?
