Former President Donald Trump went on a wild tangent about the Battle of Gettysburg during a Saturday night rally in a key 2024 swing state.

Speaking to supporters in Schnecksville, PA — roughly two hours away from the site of the historic Civil War battle — the former president spoke extemporaneously about Gettysburg and its significance.

“Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was,” Trump “The Battle of Gettysburg. What an unbelievable — it was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways. It represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow.”

The Battle of Gettysburg was the deadliest of the Civil war. More than 50,000 were killed over three days in early July 1863. The war officially continued for nearly two years, but Gettysburg is widely considered the turning point in the Union’s eventual victory.

Trump went on to say this about Confederate General Robert E. Lee (via Newsweek):

“Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor — did you ever notice it? He’s no longer in favor. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.’ They were fighting uphill, he said, ‘Wow, that was a big mistake,’ he lost his big general. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys,’ but it was too late.”
