People ‘scre.ming’ after watching

Donald Trump is being mocked online after giving a puzzling response when asked about the significance of the Declaration of Independence during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran. While showing off the historical document at the White House, Trump described it as “a declaration of unity and love,” calling it “very special” to the country. His remarks, meant to highlight patriotic sentiment, were widely ridiculed for misunderstanding the document’s actual purpose—formally declaring the American colonies’ independence from Great Britain in 1776, a revolutionary and confrontational act rather than one of harmony.

Social media users quickly criticized Trump’s comments, pointing out the historical inaccuracy. Some responded with sarcasm and memes, comparing his description to writing a love letter rather than a bold declaration of defiance. Critics referenced famous Revolutionary War quotes and mocked the idea of Trump not having read the document. One commenter likened it to listing all grievances against someone and signing it with an insult. Many noted that Trump’s response demonstrated a lack of understanding of basic American history, with one user joking, “Sometimes I really don’t think he’s American.”
