Kanye W has fully embraced his identity as a Donald Trump supporter, it seems, and keeps drawing the ire and attention of social media users with his "new ideas."
Kanye appeared on "TMZ" for an interview in which he made some incendiary comments well-nigh slavery. "When yous hear well-nigh slavery for 400 years … For 400 years? That sounds like a choice," Kanye said. "You were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. Information technology's like we're mentally imprisoned."
Social media users immediately (and hilariously) latched onto the comments, and Kanye took to Twitter as well, to double-downwardly on the comments.

"The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years," Kanye wrote in a tweet. "We demand complimentary thought now. Fifty-fifty the statement was an example of free thought It (sic) was just an idea."
"In one case once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas," Kanye wrote in another tweet. Of course, many Twitter users pointed out that the idea of slavery being a selection wasn't really a new idea, simply one long held by white supremacists to, uh, justify slavery.
Even improve, though, were the memes that Kanye's quote spawned. Twitter users immediately began imagining who else might say something like, "In one case over again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas." Pretty much the first person everyone landed on? Thanos (Josh Brolin), the big purple supervillain from the freshly released "Avengers: Infinity War."

-
Since becoming president, Donald Trump has had a lot more than occasion to talk most American history.

1. On Frederick Douglass
During a Blackness History Month breakfast in Feb, after mentioning several African American historical figures Trump said, "Frederick Douglass is an instance of somebody who's done an amazing task and is being recognized more than and more, I discover."

2. On Trump's Ceremonious War Boxing Golf Course
Trump's Virginia golf course on the Potomac River includes a plaque stating the location was the site of a Civil War battle.

3. On Abraham Lincoln'due south Party
Trump brought up Abraham Lincoln at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner in March. "Great president. Most people don't even know he was a Republican," Trump said. "Does anyone know? Lot of people don't know that."
-
Lincoln, of grade, is famously the first Republican president, although the party has changed significantly, both geographically and ideologically, from when it was started in 1854. Trump went on to advise, "Let's accept an ad, let'south use 1 of those PACs," to educate people nearly Lincoln'southward link to the party.

4. On His Electoral Higher Victory
Since winning the 2016 presidential election, Trump and his team take repeatedly called the win "the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan." Information technology wasn't. In fact, only two presidents have received fewer than Trump'southward 304 electoral votes since 1972 — Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. And Trump's 304 is less than both of Barack Obama'south wins, at 365 in 2008 and 332 in 2012.

5. On His Inauguration Crowd
Trump and his surrogates have maintained he had the biggest inauguration oversupply in history, citing both the people on the ground at the National Mall in Washington D.C., and watching on Tv set and online. "When I looked at the numbers that have come up in from all of the various sources, we had the biggest audience in the history of countdown speeches," Trump told ABC News. Going past the oversupply and TV numbers, though, Trump's inauguration crowd was definitely not the biggest ever.
Getty Images -
Nielsen ratings for the inauguration put TV viewership at almost 31 million, or xix percentage fewer than the number who tuned in for Obama's inauguration in 2009, The Independent reports. And a PBS timelapse video shows the National Mall was never full during the unabridged upshot, while shots of Obama's inaugurations prove the mall packed. Trump's inauguration might make upward the difference with online streaming viewers, but those numbers aren't known to the public or the media.

six. On Andrew Jackson and the Ceremonious War
In a Sirius XM interview with a reporter from the Washington Examiner, Trump said President Andrew Jackson would have stopped the Civil War. "I mean, had Andrew Jackson been a picayune later on y'all wouldn't take had the Civil War," Trump said. "He was a very tough person but he had a big centre. He was actually angry that he saw with regard to the Ceremonious War, he said 'At that place's no reason for this.'" Jackson, of course, died in 1845 — 16 years earlier the Civil War began.
Getty Images -
Trump took to Twitter to clarify his comments on Jackson. "President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil State of war started, saw it coming and was aroused. Would never have let it happen!" In fact, Jackson, a slave owner, probably would take fallen on the Confederacy'due south pro-slavery side.
Twitter -
seven. On the Civil State of war, Why
"People don't realize, you lot know, the Ceremonious State of war, if yous think virtually it, why?" Trump continued during the same interview. "People don't enquire that question, simply why was there the Ceremonious War? Why could that 1 not have been worked out?" Of course, enough of people accept asked "the Civil War, why?" The answer: slavery.

8. On Medieval Times (Not the Restaurant)
In February 2016, Trump explained his view of torture and terrorism in an interview on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." "We are living in a time that'due south as evil as whatsoever time that there has ever been," Trump said. "You know, when I was a young human being, I studied Medieval times. That's what they did, they chopped off heads." Trump went on to say he would authorize measures "beyond waterboarding" when asked if the US would chop off heads under Trump.

9. On Sweden and What Happened At that place
Trump brought upwards clearing in Europe during a rally in February 2017. He appeared to mention some clearing-related result "last night" in Sweden that hadn't really happened. "We've got to proceed our country safe," he said. "You expect at what's happening in Deutschland. You look at what's happening last nighttime in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in big numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible."
Screen Capture/The Guardian -
Trump after clarified the statement, yet once again on Twitter. He said he wasn't referring to a news event that happened "last night" in Sweden, simply rather, a Fox News story. "My statement every bit to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden," he wrote.
Twitter -
10. On existence treated the about unfairly
Delivering a speech to the graduating class at the U.South. Coast Guard Academy, Trump said, "No pol in history, and I say this with bang-up surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." That plain includes politicians who take actually been assassinated, which seems like it should count for being treated "unfairly." Perchance he ways he's been "unfairly" given more passes on bad beliefs, like admitting sexual assault, than any other politician.

12. On the Panama Culvert
In a meeting with Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, Trump seemed to kind of, sort of take credit for the Panama Canal. "The Panama Canal is doing quite well. I think we did a good chore edifice it, right — a very good job," Trump said, to which Varela answered, "Aye, about 100 years agone." While what Trump meant past "we" was probably "the United States," as Varela'south comment suggests, there's withal an air of Trump glomming on to past accomplishments that had nothing to do with him.
-
13. On how much legislation he'southward signed
Trump likes to say things are historic without really always checking (or maybe caring) if it's true. He'south said repeatedly that he'southward signed more legislation than any other president, and specifically called out Harry Truman. In fact, he ranks concluding in legislation signed as of December 2017.
ABC -
fourteen. On his "historic" defence spending increment
Trump also said at a July 2017 rally the increment to defense spending he advocated was historically high. Information technology isn't. Ronald Reagan and George West. Bush-league both increased defense spending past more, for two quick examples.
Getty Images -
15. On how his approving rating wasnon historically low
One thing well-nigh Trump's administration that he claimed wasn't historic was his approval rating after six months in office. An ABC News/Washington Post poll put Trump's approval at 36 pct, which he tweeted "wasn't bad." As it turns out, it was the worst of whatsoever president in the last seventy years.

16. On the Pulse nightclub shooting
Every bit part of his push button against gun control in the wake of the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Loftier School in Parkland, Florida, Trump has advocated for arming teachers and others to terminate mass shootings. As Politifact reports, he likewise said that another shooting, the i in June 2016 at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people, could have been prevented if someone else in that location had been conveying a gun.
Getty Images -
The trouble is, someone was: there was an armed police officer working at Pulse the night of the shooting, who fifty-fifty exchanged gunfire with the shooter, Omar Mateen. Trump has really claimed before that if there had been more than people armed at Pulse, the shooting could have been stopped, in 2016. At the time, Trump claimed afterward on Twitter that what he'd meant was that he wished there had been even more people with guns to stop the Pulse shooting.

17. On the State of war of 1812
Trump has been pushing to enact new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, which are affecting non simply People's republic of china and other countries Trump sees equally competitors to the U.Southward., just also allies such as Canada. In a phone conversation with Canadian Prime Government minister Justin Trudeau that got somewhat heated over the tariffs, CNN reports, Trump brought up the War of 1812, claiming that Canadians burned down the White House during that conflict.
Getty Images -
Trump wasn't wrong that the White Business firm was burned down in the War of 1812 -- that did happen. Blaming Canada doesn't make a ton of sense, though. It was British troops that burned down the White House, since the U.S. was at war with England for the two-year disharmonize. Canada was a colony at the time, then was pulled into the war. A lot of it was also fought in Canada. Simply blaming Canada for the White House doesn't actually rail.

18. Kellyanne Conway On the Bowling Green Massacre
Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway invented a terrorist attack that never happened when she mentioned the "Bowling Green Massacre" in a Feb interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Conway was attempting to justify Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries, and claimed the media hadn't covered the attack. As the Washington Post reports, Conway also mentioned the massacre, which never took place, in two other interviews.

nineteen. Sean Spicer On the Holocaust
White House Press Secretarial assistant Sean Spicer got into trouble when he compared Syrian arab republic'south Bashar al-Assad and Adolf Hitler when discussing Trump's conclusion to bomb a Syrian airfield in response to a gas set on confronting civilians. "...Someone equally despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemic weapons," Spicer said during a daily printing conference. Of grade, the use of gas to murder millions of German Jews and other minority groups from within Deutschland and Europe was central to the Holocaust.
Getty Images -
Spicer went on to clarify that he did, in fact, know about the Holocaust. "I retrieve when you come to sarin gas, in that location was no -- he was not using the gas on his ain people the same way that Assad is doing," Spicer said. "I mean, there was clearly, I empathize your point, thank you. Cheers, I capeesh that. There was non in the, he brought them into the Holocaust heart, I empathise that." The historically accurate term for "Holocaust eye" is "concentration camp," and at least 200,000 people killed in them were Jewish German language citizens.

From the Bowling Green Massacre to the the War of 1812, y'all might call it "alternative history"
Since becoming president, Donald Trump has had a lot more than occasion to talk nearly American history. He likes to remind people that "y'all know, I'1000, similar, a smart person," but he doesn't always seem to get it right. Here are 19 instances of Trump and his surrogates giving weirdo history lessons.
