"Hamilton" star Leslie Odom Jr. actually thinks President Trump could have a point -- but not in the way Trump thought -- because he thinks removing George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues is worthy of discussion.

We got the actor -- who famously played Aaron Burr in the smash musical -- at LAX Wednesday and asked about Trump's argument that removing the statue of Robert E. Lee could open the door to 86'ing the famous presidents.

Washington and Jefferson owned slaves ... so, he says fair question.

Couldn't we just leave it and add a "banged slaves" asterisk?

Anyone else think that the rest of the world is sitting back and pointing and laughing at us for flipping our shite over such trivial things?

I think the rest of the world is jealous. Do you know how good things must be in your country for statue coverage to dominate the news?

May as well tear down the Washington monument, the Statue of Liberty, and Mount Rushmore while were at it.

As long as Leslie is okay with removing MLK's statues and name on streets because he was an adulterer.

He said it's a "great question." I'll stand by my statement that he's a fricking dumbass. It's a stupid question. May as well erase the first half of this country's history.

ETA: I do agree that TMZ is taking liberties with that headline though.

I thought he actually made some good points and was about as rational as you can be about this stupidity.

That's just stupid though. You can't compare US presidents to confederate generals.
