'Boo!' Trump prompts Army troops to jeer news media and cheer Robert E. Lee

President Donald Trump goaded U.S. Army troops into booing the free press Tuesday afternoon while cheering for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

During a speech in North Carolina, Trump noted that he had reversed the Biden administration's decision to change the name of Fort Bragg and other bases with names related to the Civil War.

"That's never going to be happening again," he vowed. "And for a little news for the fake news back there, the fake news, ladies and gentlemen, look at them, look at them all, what I have to put up with. Fake news."

"Boo!" the crowd responded.

"For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort A.P. Hill, and Fort Robert E. Lee," Trump added.

At the mention of Lee's name, the North Carolina crowd of troops went wild with cheers.

"We won a lot of battles out of those forts," Trump opined. "It's no time to change."

"This is a record crowd," he insisted. "You never had a crowd this big. That's an honor. You think this crowd would have showed up for Biden? I don't think so."
