Donald Trump once again flunked history, this time getting a basic fact wrong about Thomas Jefferson.
New York City announced it was moving a statue of the Founding Father and nations third president out of its City Council Chamber due to his history as a slaveholder.
Its not yet clear where the statue will go, but Trump predictably threw a fit over Jefferson ... even if hes a little hazy on what, exactly, Jefferson did.
Trump called him a principal writer of the Constitution of the United States.
Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, but did not contribute to the writing of the Constitution, nor did he attend the Constitutional Convention as he was in France.
