President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday that it was "sad" that the United States is tearing down Confederate statues because they represent "the history and culture of our great country."

But where was he when other "historically significant" monuments were being torn down months ago?

You remember them.

Yes, we're talking about the large naked statues of Donald Trump that appeared overnight in August.

They popped up in places such as New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, and San Francisco a year ago. They attracted crowds to our nation's beautiful parks, which the president cares about so deeply.

And yet, he didn't defend this statue here, which was beautifying a park in Manhattan in August. Look at how happy the man is to take a photo with this statue, which represents "the history and culture of our great country."

Here is one in Los Angeles, that will "never [be] able to be comparably replaced."

But do you see these statues in these cities anymore? No. No you do not. They were removed, and now Americans and tourists alike have been barred from seeing this history, and what a shame that is.

Where was Trump then to rail against the removal of these statues, as he is now doing with Confederate monuments?

While the president is proudly parroting white nationalist talking points, he is right about one thing: statues of that naked man will never be comparably replaced.
