That maybe, but a word for word quote, even if he’s unaware of the historical significance, at such a similar event in our history, will not bode well for him. I believe future historians will include this quote as proof of his callous and apathetic nature.
I think it’s more likely that he heard this quote from somewhere, or worse, members of his team mentioned it to him and he liked it so much decided to use it as part of his reply to the recent events.
