Dear Donald Trump, There’s Just One Thing Left for You to Do!
You Should Produce Your Version of Birth of a Nation
Dear Donald,
When you asked your gold-plated mirror which president was the most MAGA of all, you were probably shocked when the answer came back as Woodrow Wilson. Wilson did everything you did and arguably did it better. When Wilson entered the White House in 1913, he re-segregated the government, getting rid of Black federal employees. All you did was get rid of DEI and hope things get to the level of white supremacy you desire.
Wilson actually knew history, having gotten his PhD from Johns Hopkins and taught history at the college level before becoming the president of Princeton University. Conversely, you did graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, where you’ve threatened to sue anyone who released your grades.
Where Woodrow Wilson has you beat hands down is in demonstrating his commitment to white supremacy. Wilson single-handedly brought back the KKK, which had almost been wiped out due to those pesky anti-Klan acts back in 1871. Everybody was after the Klan in those days, including federal troops and the courts. The Klan never died out but there were still embers waiting to be reignited.
