President Trump told reporters today that he was open to the idea of becoming president of any states that want to secede from the union. The comment came after reporters asked the president what he thought about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh stating that “there cannot be a peaceful coexistence between liberals and conservatives,” and that “we’re trending toward secession.”

“What we have here is a deeply divided country. I mean, they mostly voted for me, but we’re heavily divided.” Trump stated. “So if it comes down to it, I’d love to be president of the new Confederate States of America. If that’s what the people want, we should give it to them!”
