Does Trump know that Black, Brown and other Human Slaves built the White House?

Maybe if we get it on Fox, he'll resign and move out!

Wage rolls for May 1795 list five enslaved persons, Tom, Peter, Ben, Harry and Daniel, four of whom were owned by White House architect James Hoban. Daniel was owned by Hoban’s assistant, Pierce Purcell.

Presidents Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Tyler, Polk, and Taylor relied on slave labor in the White House. The enslaved persons and families lived in the basement/ground floor of the White House.

As a general manager of the White House staff, President Thomas Jefferson relied heavily on his French steward Etienne Lemaire. With several white servants and staff, the remainder of Jefferson’s regular household staff, which numbered a dozen, included enslaved people from Monticello. John Freeman, for example, served as a waiter. In 1806, a child was born at the White House to Fanny and Edy Fossett, two enslaved people. Sadly, the child died before reaching the age of two.

Slave labor, as well as free labor, was also used during the 1814-1818 rebuilding of the White House following the War of 1812.

1. Now you did it...

Clearly he has to burn it down now.

2. As far as he and his base are concerned that's what minorities are for,

to work for white people.

3. We should start a rumor that there are ghosts roaming the White House...

and it might well be the slaves who worked to build it...waiting for their pay.

I seem to remember he wandered around the WH when he was living there when Melania refused to move.

The way his mind works and considering he filed 5 deferment requests, showing he isn't the bravest creature in the world, it might be enough to chase him out of the WH, once and for all.

8. I've heard he has hired racist pigs who spread his racism well before the election in '16.

Opps! I forgot about Grand Master Bannon for a sec!

4. Trump would buy slaves if he could.

Maybe he has.

9. We should check every single resort Epstein ever visited!

5. it wouldn't make any difference to him

[Thomas Hurt]

6. naw, he thinks the WH is a dump....

not enough gold paint, fake baroque furniture to suit him, I imagine.

[JoeOtterbein]

7. If he doesn't love our White House, he needs to move back...

...to hell!

[Hekate]

10. You don't understand: Unpaid labor is Trump's whole business model. Why would he care?
