Former President Donald Trump released a statement, and it’s circulating on Twitter since he has been deplatformed by major social sites after he incited the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection. The twice-impeached one-term president’s statement reads: “1776, not 1619!” and that’s it. Trump is just race-baiting again because he is apparently referring to the New York Times’ “1619 Project” that “aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.”
Trump also recently addressed critical race theory on RealClearPolitics in an op-ed.
“Students are being subjected to a new curriculum designed to brainwash them,” Trump claimed, calling critical race theory “twisted” and “completely antithetical to everything that normal Americans of any color would wish to teach their children.”
As Forbes reported, “In reality, few American classrooms teach “critical race theory” as it was originally conceived, but that hasn’t stopped Republicans, including Trump, from using it as a catchall phrase to describe any attempt to teach students about systemic racism.”
Trump also tore into critical race theory at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend.

He’s continually trying to remain relevant, but his mental state proves that he’s not of sound mind.

LOL I’ve never seen Tourette’s Syndrome in the form of press statements.

Trump obviously has mental issues, and I can’t figure out why he has any support at all. Trump’s narcissistic personality disorder was clear before he was elected, but his supporters decided to give him the keys to the White House anyway.
