Americans have no sense of history. And not much memory. They don't remember what happened yesterday.

It is true that as people, we tend to remember only the positive. With time, the grim details fade away, and as a species we survive on this notion. In our desire to gloss over the undeniable macabre parts of our American history, we forget. That amnesia manifests itself, especially when dealing with the plight of black men.

Human memory is short and terribly fickle.

America has become amnesiac, a country in which forms of historical, political, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but celebrated.

Mr. Trump's memory is fantastic. I've never come across a situation that Mr. Trump has said something that is not accurate.

We don't have any bad memories of the people of the United States.

Let us not suffer from a national amnesia that causes us to forget who and what we are.

I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us.

Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
