But where was he when other "historically significant" monuments were being torn down months ago?

Where was Trump then to rail against the removal of these statues, as he is now doing with Confederate monuments?
While the president is proudly parroting white nationalist talking points, he is right about one thing: statues of that naked man will never be comparably replaced.
