Trump rejects claims fall of the Confederate base-name
US President Donald Trump says that he is "not even considered" rename military bases are named for Confederate generals.
He tweeted that the bases were part of "a Great American heritage".
Mr Trump's comments follow reports that top military officials were open to change in the midst of nationwide soul-searching after the death of George Floyd.
For many of the symbols of the Confederate States - of the slaveholding southern States in the 1861-65 American Civil War cause, and that a racist past.
What The President has said?Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday that the bases for The Names of the Confederate generals ", you will be part of a Great American heritage to Win a story of victory and freedom".
He added: "The United States of America and our HEROES to be trained on this Hallowed ground, and won two world wars. Therefore, my government will not consider even the renaming of this Beautiful and Storied Military installations.
"Our story will not be manipulated as The Greatest Nation in The World . Respect for our military!"
White House press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany said in a News Briefing , then, that the possibility of renaming was these foundations, "is an absolute non-starter" for Mr Trump.

What prompted Trump's tweets?On Monday, a Pentagon official said the Minister of defense Mark Esper , and army Secretary Ryan Mccarthy were open "for a bipartisan discussion on the topic of" removal of the Confederate, The Names of the bases.
earlier This Week , the U.S. Marine Corps issued the order to identify for the commanders "and you will remove the screen from the Confederate battle flag or to its depiction in the work environment, common access areas and public areas of their facilities".

"
The 10 bases are named for Confederate generals include renowned facilities such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina , Fort Hood in Texas and Fort Benning in Georgia.
they are all over The South , mainly in the States that helped Mr. Trump's victory in 2016, and he is dependent on you to support him in the November election.
A Lost Cause ?Only an hour or so before The President held a roundtable session with black supporters, he was tweeting about his vehement opposition to the removal of The Names of the Confederate generals of the US military bases.
Such a jarring, hair-pin curves are the standard moving procedures for the White house, but - like Donald Trump turn out the professions of support for minorities, that rankle could. many of them
It may come as a surprise that, had the US bases named after officers who led armies against The American soldiers, but so are the complete contradictions that remain, More Than 150 years after the Civil War .
Some still believe that these generals as heroes to a Lost Cause . That has not stopped local and state governments take their statues, however, as a slow reckoning with The Legacy of the Confederacy, which is spread to the deepest parts of The South .
The President , however, seems adamant. He supported what he called the "lovely" statues of calls, and he is willing to hold himself in a fight, your name on state institutions. Even at a time when The American public is to rethink Race Relations in The Nation , The President has decided that this is worth a fight.
Who wants to get rid of Confederate symbols?The death last month of George Floyd, an unarmed Black Man after a police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis, Minnesota, re-opened has been America's long festering racial wounds.
