       #GiftArticleActually, #Slavery Was Very BadTrump’s latest criticism of #museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase #Black #history.In what looks to be an intensifying quest to reshape #AmericanHistory & scholarship according to his own preferences, #Trump this week targeted the #Smithsonian Institution, the national repository of #USHistory & #memory. Trump seemed outraged, in particular, by the Smithsonian’s portrayal of the Black experience in America.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/08/trump-attack-smithsonian-slavery/683969/?gift=guxsrl_dAdXUP9zqbQPWxaaL95f_SfJXcsRtHcJHwD8

       He took to Truth Social to complain that the country’s museums “are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian,” he wrote, “is OUT OF CONTROL.” Then #Trump wrote something astonishing, even for him. He asserted that the narrative presented by the Smithsonian is overly focused on “how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, & how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been.”#BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #USHistory #Slavery #museums #Smithsonian

       Before continuing, it is important to pause a moment & state this directly: Donald Trump, the current #president of the #UnitedStates, believes that the #Smithsonian is failing to do its job, because it spends too much time portraying #slavery as “bad.”#BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #USHistory #museums #Trump

       @Nonilex "He asserted that the narrative presented by the Smithsonian is overly focused on “how horrible our Country is"His narrative is wrong, however, the country IS horrible because it has roots in neo-liberal conspiritual puritan "small government" rugged individualistic thinking.

       @Nonilex I know he will never acknowledge the actions of his Grandfather who was kicked out of Germany and whose crooked characteristics he has very much copied. He is, after all, a convicted felon.

       @Nonilex Maybe, hear me out, the Smithsonian should focus on the experience of poor whites and how slavery was bad for them (at least economically)
