If you're wondering where President Trump sits on the question of whether America's Confederate statues should be taken down, wonder no more. Trump addressed the topic in a three-part tweet Thursday morning.
He writes, "Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.

Also... / ...the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!"
