'Daily Show' Rips Trump For Not Recognizing 1 Key Piece Of American History

Desi Lydic called out the president for his stunningly "wrong answer" to ABC News' Terry Moran.
“Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic mocked President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he revealed what the Declaration of Independence means to him in an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran.
When asked about a copy of the document that was put on display in the Oval Office per his request, Trump told Moran that the Declaration of Independence “means exactly what it says.”
“It’s a declaration. It’s a declaration of unity and love and respect. And it means a lot, and it’s something very special to our country,” Trump said.
If it’s been a while since your high school civics class, the Declaration of Independence isn’t about love — it outlines the tyranny and injustice the 13 original colonies suffered under the English monarchy.
But what makes Trump’s remarks “even more sad,” Lydic said, is that the document is about the 13 colonies “filing for divorce” from Britain.
