Trump Faces Mockery Over Declaration of Independence Comments

Donald Trump is once again under fire — this time for his strange take on the Declaration of Independence.

A Head-Scratching Interview Moment

In a recent ABC News interview with Terry Moran, Trump reflected on his first 100 days back in office. While he proudly listed his accomplishments, one answer raised eyebrows.

Trump’s Odd Description

While showing Moran the Declaration of Independence, Trump said:

“It means exactly what it says. It is a declaration, a declaration of unity and love, and it means a lot. It is something very special to our country.”

However, many immediately noticed the mismatch.

Why Historians Disagree

The Declaration of Independence is not about unity or love. Instead, it’s a bold document declaring the Thirteen Colonies’ separation from Great Britain. Far from peaceful, it was a fiery rejection of British rule — essentially a political and military challenge to the empire.

Social Media Reacts Swiftly

Social media users wasted no time mocking Trump’s take. One person shared a comedy sketch from The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic, simply commenting:

“OMG I’M SCREAMING.”

Others chimed in with sharp humor.
