On 2 May 2017, an article containing the claim that President Trump had hailed KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders as a Civil War hero appeared on the web site The Red Schtick: As the same article pointed out, however, Harland Sanders wasn't born until 1890, 25 years after the Civil War ended, nor was Valley Forge, Pennsylvania the site of a battle or encampment during that war. President Trump allegedly became angry when he was informed of this: Nothing of the sort actually happened, of course. The Red Schtick, which describes itself as a bold and engaging source of satire and irreverent humor, is not a real news site. The article was meant to satirize a misstatement by Trump to the effect that President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War took place, could have worked out a solution to prevent it.
