As the United States experiences a racial awakening following continued worldwide protests, President Donald Trump has made it clear that he is on the side of Confederate statues.

But it's not only statues of slave owners President Trump has vowed to protect. In a recent Trump campaign ad, the President promised a "new" one of Jesus Christ would be safe under his care.


The statue pictured was Brazil's iconic Christ The Redeemer, a massive sculpture in absolutely no danger of being destroyed.


Trump and his campaign were roundly mocked on Twitter.



Christ the Redeemer is in no danger from anybody.



With a pandemic rapidly spreading in America, President Trump is most focused on which statues get to stay up and which don't.



Brazil is just a little bit outside of the President's jurisdiction.


Perhaps there are other things President Trump should be more intent on protecting?


As of the writing of this article, Christ the Redeemer is still standing with no plans to take it down in the foreseeable future.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
