Besides the fact that Columbus never set foot on what would become the US . HE was a horrible person who stole , enslaved and raped the Native people. Is that what Trump think America is about ?

I don't think rampant consumerism (to the point in going in debt to buy shit) existed that early.

it started in the 20s. only reason it seems to have kicked off after ww2 is because the great depression put a stop to it for the 30s.

It makes a lot of sense that he says this, if you understand the different ways Republicans view Columbus and Leif Erikson

Republicans see Columbus as a hero that opened up Europe to the Americas and started colonization which they view as a great thing

Republicans see Leif Erikson as a loser barbarian who never did anything in North America and then went home and kept being a loser. they think him not colonizing is a bad thing because to Republicans, colonies are great.

I think if you ask the Native Americans on we committed genocide and the slaves who built the country I think they would tell you that that is indeed what America is about.

Yeah, it's funny that people will often argue that "times were different", but there were a lot of people in that day who were just as morally opposed to racist scumbaggery as we are today. Columbus was reviled.

Slavery? Check.
Getting killed because of religion? Check.
Believe in stuff that the rest of the world believe are strange? Check.

Don't play got damn semantics, you know got damn well when people say America in that context they are speaking about the US. There is no place called just America. There is South and North America. So if you want to play fucking semantics he is still wrong.

All land is stolen.
Slavery existed for thousands of years across the whole world.
People have been killing other people since we lived in caves.

And oh yeah, go out into the wilderness and live in a teepee. If that's what you prefer.
