President Donald Trump thinks it is “incredible stupidity” for Democrats in Orange County to push to remove John Wayne’s name, statue and likeness from their county airport. The organization has called for the name change because of, among other things, the racist and bigoted things the screen legend said in a 1971 interview.

In a tweet Monday morning, Trump defended the airport being named after the Hollywood star, a longtime Orange County resident who died 41 years ago. In the same tweet, Trump also blasted the decision by Princeton University to drop President Woodrow Wilson’s name from its school of public policy.
