to change the name back, at least if his forebears were in the South before 1860 and some of them in the Confederate Army. It doesn’t mean I agree with them or that I agree that the mythos of The Lost Cause belongs anywhere else other than in a rubbish bin.

But this guy…Most of his ancestors arrived after 1865, most of them weren’t Southerners, and he never showed much interest in southern history.

Donnie was a civilian since graduating from military school. He never served in the US Armed forces and scorns the people who did.

To my knowledge, he never put any effort into preserving Southern landmarks. Hell, I don’t think he ever put on a reenactor’s Confederate uniform. (OK, I’m a 65+ white male sexist. I don’t like Melania, but I think she’d look good in a replica Southern belle’s dress)

Just say “NO!” to the fake reenactor of Palm Beach.
