As we learned on Monday, Donald Trump knows less about history than your average two-year-old. His comments regarding former president Andrew Jackson and the Civil War were so utterly ridiculous that comedians have been adding new material by the minute.
The remarks Trump made in an interview with Sirius XM radio were bad enough, but then he made the matter worse by going on Twitter Monday evening to try and clarify what he meant. But he only made things worse:
President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!

As a result, the Comedy Central show @Midnight created a new hashtag, #TrumpTeachesHistory, and it’s been trending with hilarious results:
First the Chinese built the wall, and THEN sent the Mongolians an invoice for it!
