He just doesn't get IT!

“It depends on who you’re talking about, when you’re talking about,” Trump responded. “When people proudly had their Confederate flags they’re not talking about racism. They love their flag, it represents the South. They like the South ... I say it’s freedom of many things, but it’s freedom of speech.”

This was our President's response on July 19, 2020 when asked, on Fox News Sunday, if the  confederate flag was offensive.

Who, what, when and why.....constitute how a story must be presented.

Currently  in California we are having a crisis of conviction regarding the founder of the historical missions up and down the state....... 

Junípero Serra y Ferrer, better known as Father Serra.......

a Franciscan monk of the Catholic Church who was canonized in 2015, so we should actually be referring to him as
St. Serra
or
St. Junipero
or by his other nickname, The Apostle of California.

........was responsible for building  the first 9 of 21 Catholic missions in the middle of the 18th century.

His statues (along with his reputation) are being removed and altered as we speak.

Sanford University removed his name from their campus about a year ago.

Again this is a subject that you need to research and study on your own so that you can reach your own decision.

My personal opinion on this matter is mixed with very early Catholic childhood indoctrination, pre-pubescent torture and systematic brainwashing by nuns and historical observations which I continue to observe to this very day.

California is my native state and while I love everything about it I cringe at the amount of people who have decided that they also need to reside here..... I also cringe at the knowledge of how indigenous people were  removed from the equation....but I'm conflicted because what I've studied shows that St. Serra protected his "targets of conversion"  from others who weren't so friendly.

When one looks at how countries and nations have developed one cannot overlook the result of missionary work and when it comes to missionary work the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church has to be regarded as some of the most successful missionary work in the history of our planet.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF DONALD J. TRUMP UNDERSTANDING HOW INDIGENOUS PEOPLE CAN BE UPSET OVER THE TACTICS OF EARLY MISSIONARY WORK IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA?
so having asked that question
let's
move
to
our original
topic

THE FACT THAT HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG REPRESENTS MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT 
and 
I'm 
fairly
certain
he
never
will.
