(Admittedly not so much fundie, as face-palmingly stupid. We really need an Morons Say the Darndest Things, maybe.)

Ex-Fox News host Bill O’Reilly came to the defense of Donald Trump, saying the president was right about President Andrew Jackson possibly stopping the Civil War, despite have died years before it began.

In a recent interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump pondered why the Civil War couldn’t have been avoided while claiming that Jackson — who was a slave owner — had a “big heart” and could have stopped it. Trump’s comments were met with derision from the media as well as historians.

O’Reilly, who is not a historian but authored “Lincoln’s Last Days: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever,” had a different take on Twitter, lashing out at the media for attacking the president.

“President Trump is right about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War, the morons on cable news are wrong,” O’Reilly tweeted.

O’Reilly used the tweet as a teaser to draw viewers to his online pay-per-view broadcasts that began last week following his dismissal from Fox News after it was revealed the network paid out more than $13 million in sexual harassment claims.

Well, in one aspect I guess a point can be made if the South tried to secede during Andrew Jackson's time, it would not have succeeded and the Civil War would've ended or not even been a starter.

...Because when one state tried a proto-secession, Jackson talked about executing everyone who voted for it.

If the South did their thing, Jackson would've gone apeshit (more than usual) and de-populated the South of everyone who was for Secession.

So fundamentally, Trump is saying if he was President, he would've been in favor of simply mass executing the South. There's your President, people of the South. Just like how he was in favor of killing everyone in Y'all Qaeda for their insolence.

What are your thoughts on the English Civil War, Bill O'RLY?

Like Sanderp(IQ)1.7012, do you think that King George III was trying to make people Catholic in the War of Independence even though that happened 124 years after Cromwell beat King Charles II, eliminating the Divine Right of Kings and firmly cementing Protestantism as the state religion: and George III was the later head of the Church of England: Protestant?

Because unless you want a state religion: Protestant, then that War of Independence was all for naught, you might as well tear up that 'Goddamn Piece of Paper' and hand your country back to George III's future descendant: Queen Elizabeth II.

It's that, or be forced to have an Atheist country, Billy-boy.

You want a state religion today; you believe that the US is a 'Christian' nation. You don't like the idea of your country being a Catholic one, amirite? Well, then: you're in complete agreement with Oliver Cromwell & King George III.

You could indeed have avoided a civil war in the US: if you'd had a state religion. And as William Wilberforce - an Evangelical Christian & politician - was an abolitionist, then in a British-ruled & Protestant America, there would never have been any slavery to cause a Civil War in the first place.

I suggest you watch the anime series "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" & the sequel "R2", Mr. O'RLY. It'll give you a few pointers on how history really happened. [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]

Because you certainly fell asleep in certain classes, pal.

...the comments for such speaks volumes of how things have changed dramatically in just these 100 Days.

Previously, anything on YouTube that remotely criticised the 'Emprah', the Trumptards would come out of the woodwork, attacking anyone who dared think in any way but their rigid dogma: as rigid as what's on the head of their mess of a 'Messiah'. Strange how in this instance, the hardcore Trumptards are - but for a few exceptions - conspicuous by their absence; and those who do are extremely defensive: knowing that their 'perfect' God-Emperor has hair of clay: literally.

As some say in the comments, there are possible signs of pre-dementia exhibited by Donald Fart. Fact: the 'Top Job' is the most stressful position on the planet; I refer you to Obama's hair going prematurely grey. Wiggy's not getting any younger: his arselickers know this, and this revelation is something even they can't handwave away via the excuse of 'Alternative Facts'.

How can they possibly defend this kind of egregious ignorance?

And a common test of Senility here in Britain is to ask the person who is the current Prime Minister.
