President Donald Trump wished Americans a happy Columbus Day in marked contrast to his predecessor with a Monday morning tweet.
Christopher Columbus’s spirit of determination & adventure has provided inspiration to generations of Americans. On #ColumbusDay, we honor his remarkable accomplishments as a navigator, & celebrate his voyage into the unknown expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. https://t.co/Mg3dxRfPuN
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2018
Trump’s proclamation hails Columbus’ discovery of the Americas in 1492 and makes no mention of any impact on indigenous Native Americans, saying:
Columbus’s daring journey marked the beginning of centuries of transatlantic exploration that transformed the Western Hemisphere. On Columbus Day, we commemorate the achievements of this skilled Italian explorer and recognize his courage, will power, and ambition — all values we cherish as Americans.

If it wasn't for Columbus Native Americans would still be in the stone age.
Cmon Donald. Even a 4th grader knows Vikings were here before that. The Chinese before that with new research discovered in the last ten years. This confirms for me you are a puppet for the central banks no different than Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, etc. Democrat and Republican are two wings of the same vulture
They should rename it Serendipity Day.
"...Even a 4th grader knows Vikings were here before that..."
Yeah, but Columbus brought pasta, red wine and pizza. All the Vikings ever had was dried fish. So there.
