A very important part of America's greatness is in the way it has been growing/healing through the past 250 years; America is where brave people stood up against and abolished slavery and then embraced the freed slaves and made them citizens with equal rights. (We cannot claim this accomplishment while pretending that the horrors of slavery did not happen!)
Past presidents in America have acknowledged, and apologized for, the horrid mistreatment of the Native American people. We are in the process of healing from those mistakes. (But full healing cannot take place if we start denying the reality of what was sone to the Native Americans.)
America is not perfect, but it has been getting better, through facing, being honest about and learning from its own mistakes and this is what makes it truly great. Yet, Trump has been trying to hide the slavery and Native American parts of our history, and in doing so also tries to erase two of America's greatest accomplishments. And there are other truly great parts of America that he has been trying to destroy, like our freedom of speech - our right to stand up against wrong doings and disagree with our presidents, which wise American's have fought hard to gain and retain through the past 250 years...etc.
People like Trump should not be allowed to destroy America's true history - America's true greatness!
