Donald Trump claims Thomas Jefferson was the principle author of the Constitution - Thoughts

“The late, great Thomas Jefferson, one of our most important Founding Fathers, and a principal writer of the Constitution of the United States, is being ‘evicted’ from the magnificent New York City Council Chamber.”

Jefferson is the principle author of the Declaration of Independence. Apparently Trump is unaware they are two different documents

The fun part is that despite this being astonishingly incorrect, it doesn't even matter. It's just virtue signalling.

@independentone if you didn't notice he was correct this time, what's so amusing?

@Stopmakingsense I find you kind of amusing, wrong, but amusing

@independentone still wrong, aren't you? Jefferson was in on the writing of the Constitution, Trump is correct.

@Stopmakingsense

Jefferson did not write the U.S. Constitution. He was in France at the time of the Constitutional convention. He did, however, write the Declaration of Independence. James Madison is known as the chief architect of the Constitution. 🙂
