Columbus was a brilliant seafarer.

Trump is a failed casino hustler and a wannabe autocrat.

If you have to go to work, it ain't a holiday.

You can't do that.
No, really.
I appreciate in the US it is just the name of a self confessed serial sex offender, but in the UK it has a whole different connotation.
And nobody wants to see him, and your country, further demeaned on a global stage by something like this idea.

My vote is to rename it Pocahontas Day

Why does the current President need to force his place in history and why do his supporters need to do the same?

I don't recall any other President or administration that declared to be the greatest during their administration for anything outside of this one.

I do recall several dictators from other countries who have done so.

I'm talking about history.

You don't create history in the present.

Those that typically try to are seen in history as the bad guys.

Maybe study up.

Always fun to see more deflection as well. Biden never tried to force his place in history. Neither did Clinton or Bush or GW or Obama.

I Know you're distracted by your own triggered ness. I'm discussing history and their role in it. And more specifically, how they perceived and related their opinions during their present.

But please, discuss unrelated things that bother you.

So you want to wash the name of Columbus from the history books, after your cult leader said such nice things about him.

I'll tell him what you said!

 

[Pad_Foot]

If Columbus hasn’t bumbled into land, his ships would have run out of food and water on route to India! How he forgot the circumference of the world is a mystery. Blind luck he ran into land

I grew up at a time when humility was appreciated. Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Willy Mays hit monster home runs and put their heads down while rounding the bases. I am contemptuous of narcissists.

OK. He's a lousy businessman but he has an expensive bankruptcy lawyer. Happy now?

(I notice you didn't disagree with the part about him being a wannabe autocrat!)

"Brilliant"?

Your moral compass is way off.
Ask the suppliers who he put out of business about this 'brilliant' tactic.

Meyer Corp., a construction company, worked on the renovation of the Trump Taj Mahal. After the casino filed for bankruptcy, they reported losing over $1 million in unpaid invoices.

A.J. DeMarco Painting was contracted for exterior work on a Trump property. After the bankruptcy declaration, they were left with unpaid bills totalling around $100,000.

Café Services, which provided catering services to Trump's casinos, faced substantial losses after the Trump Castle bankruptcy. They reported being owed $250,000.

Holt Construction worked on several Trump properties and reported a loss of $800,000 in unpaid contracts.

Honest, hard working people lost their jobs and their homes.
Yep.
Brilliant work!

Narcissist?
Did someone say narcissist?

Funny, nobody talks about all the things Kim Jong Il has done:

Kim Jong Il devoted strenuous efforts to stepping up socialist economic construction.

In da mid 1970s, when Korea faced difficulties in hitting da main targets of da six year plan, he raised a slogan: Let da whole party mobilized for a 70 day campaign, and led da campaign in da van.

He ensured dat a powerful drive for motivating da working people to increase economic activity was conducted at every spot. He then inspected major units of economic construction, one after an udder.

He leads dem to make a breakthru by employing high-speed, lightning, and finish-one-project-after-an-udder tactics.

He teaches da leading officials dat motivating da peoples ideas is the key to making innovation,
and dat the creative enthusiasm of da masses could constitute da untapped resources for increased production.

Wherever he goes, he gets familiarized with the accu-citation of da unit, and indicates da race for solving the problems facing da unit.

With a plan to free da workers from heat affected labor, he guides introduction of automation equipment to production in Hwanghae Iron works, insisted dat it's experience is poplarized across da country.

He visits Unhung mine, where a long distance conveyor belt is being built and inspired da working class dere to demonstrate da mettle of da Korean people in da construction.

Resolved to materialize what Kim Jong Il Intended, da workers perform labor feats at dere workplaces.

Kim Jong Il visits da Komduk Mine and even goes into deep pit face to encourage da miners.

His encouragement dat Korea should make ten or one hundred steps when others are making one step inspired da workers to create a new speed in dere work.

Now that da breakthrough is made in carrying out da six year plan, Kim Jong Il leads da people to hitting da other targets of socialist construction.

The execution of da six year plan by da Korean people under the slavements fooled everybody in da speed campaign, and made the requirements of juche in ideolge, techknowledge, and culture. And a firmer unity of da people around der leader and da party, was a brilliant materialization of Kim Jong Il's leadership.

We should declare a national holiday for Kim Jong Il. Not that much different from Trump, honestly- except, well, Kim Jong Il is cooler.
