I just watched the clip. In no way is anything trump says outrageous.

He was in the end praising Grant (who was from Ohio)...saying he beat a "great" general in Lee.

Not sure why twitter is lit up.

Why is it bad to say Lee was a great general? He objectively was.

Well, his tactics and strategies are still studied to this day at the finest military institutes in the world.

Context doesn't matter to the left or the media. Any logical person can see he was saying Lee was a great general but Grant was able to beat him.

Doesn't matter. All you will see for the next 2 weeks is Trump praised the racist Lee.

Doesn't matter if it is a fact that Lee was a great tactician. You can't say anything positive about anyone from that time frame from the south.

Hell, it's only a matter of time before they want the Washington Monument torn down.
