President Trump announced Tuesday that he will restore the names of Fort Robert E. Lee and six other military bases honoring Confederate war leaders. "For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort AP Hill and Fort Robert E Lee," Trump said in a speech at Fort Bragg in North Carolina marking the US Army's 250th anniversary. "We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It's no time to change. And I'm superstitious, you know, I like to keep it going, right? I'm very superstitious." "We want to keep it going. So that's a big story."
