Trump will not gain a single vote from his new
"defend statues" effort. Trump has just noticed that a lot of his critics are advocating to take statues down, so that's why he is suddenly pro-statue. There is nothing more to it than that, indeed, other than xenophobia and racism, there really isn't anything more to his entire presidency.
It really is remarkable just how terrible Trump is at presidenting. Doing anything to stop the biggest threat to the U.S., the potentially disease that is infecting tens of thousands of Americans every day simply does not occur to him.
