The truth hurts their tender, useless souls.
The truth hurts their tender, useless souls.
Slavery taught valuable skills, like stay away from bullwhips. Do these people even hear themselves?
He doesn't know the suffering, the pain, the lynching the hanging. Hes ignorant.
Has Trump ever even BEEN in a museum???? That'd be too much like reading a book, we know he doesn't.
Well, any Museum that caves to his demands should absolutely remain empty of patrons. NO ONE should go see a whitewashed/rightwashed version.
How can someone be so isolated and stupid!!! Check out this guy's interview . www.commondreams.org/news/susan-c...
Tell that to the slaves, but he is seeing it on from the white owners point of view ..
This is all part of Christian Nationalism and southern billionaires who are still fighting the civil war. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Museums are, almost definitionally, about the past, not the future. 🤦♂️ I mean, that's obviously not the worst part here, but...like...has he ever even stepped foot in a museum? Ugh!
I will go with "no, never" here.
It’s good we have fitness personalities influencing the government
Would he use the word 'downtrodden? Is Nosferatu ghost writing these posts?
I’m sure Tim Scott will show up to justify how Trump’s right.
New Smithsonian exhibit! Slavery: Another American Success Story
John Brown was correct in his ascertainment on what is needed to erase this Country’s original sin
It’s nice he recognized the growing impact of climate change on the U.S. though…
He really is an insufferable s-o-b. As an educator....I have never despised another human being more! How dare he try to "white" (and I do mean WHITE) wash history!
Ho-hum but he remains in office!
There is no bottom. I am going to go mad
I so get this. It's like you can't believe he could ever be worse, but then he tops himself...daily. The sheer volume of his misdeeds, mistakes, confusion and trickery he pulls is mind numbing. This too shall pass. God...I hope we can correct some of the atrocities he's committing.
I hope. But I am skeptical
A man who raped trafficked children would of course think slavery wasn't such a bad thing. The Pedophile in Chief flying his true colours again.
It's strange how a huge bigot is concerned about lightening and brightening our history of slavery.
it's "woke" to talk about slavery in a negative light 🙄
Umm— since when are Museums about the future? Goddam he's an idiot!
I am completely not shocked that Trump thinks that slavery was a good thing.
We knew we would get here. Trump's popularity is largely because he believes what your idiot uncle and the loudest guy at the end of the bar think. His supporters 100% believe slavery wasn't a big deal and 1000% don't want to hear about it at all today. (1/2)
Slavery being "not that bad" was central to the Lost Cause view of the Civil War taught for multiple generations to Southerners. It's also not too far off from what "normal" conservative Republicans have believed my entire adult life. (2/2)
Angry, will we be able to reverse all his damage?
I wonder where Scott is on this one?? I know he wishes he was white but still... this is bad.
So now we need to say that slavery was actually bad? Hatred sure fuels these people.
Oh yeah...the Trump Klan is JUST FINE with slavery! 😀
I’ll legitimately never forgive the 20% of black men who voted for this shit.
So fckn sick of this pedophile, rapist, felon having the largest most prestigious platform in our nation. This is how far we have gone down as a nation. Alllll because we can co-exist..wow. jfc
Will someone take the iPhone off the idiot in the WH
Of course a racist sees nothing wrong with slavery and attacks everyone who was/is against it.
He sounds as deep as Paris Hilton, when "hot" was her catchphrase... 20 years ago...
The Epstein files must be extremely damning
Oh, people are talking!
It’s the original sin.
As a retired American History teacher, this is a blatant attack on history and the facts that make it important in the curriculum. Any teacher that disagrees with that line of thinking does not belong in the profession. I could go on!
This is why he wants to shutter the department of education. So no one can keep learning our genuine history.
From the folks who threw a fit when they were asked to wear a paper mask for a few months? And the ones flying “Don’t Tread On Me” flags? And have “Liberty or Death” tattoos? GTFOH
And he’ll have zero consequences for all of it
So he wants to change the definition of a museum? (a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited.)
There must be some alternate history we don’t know about. My memory is slavery was a bad time in our history and led to a bloody Civil War. Maybe Trump is from a parallel universe?
Donald, aren’t you an orange servant…. To Putin?
Omg
How dare they call slavery bad.
You know this sick fvck is going to put himself in the museum next.
More like he'll have Trump Museums in every state. Maybe every city.
He said the quiet part out loud.
He lies constantly!
Such a laser focused directive on how to improve the economy, inflation, housing costs, etc. Oh,…..wait. That’s not what this post is about? My bad.
I used to think of the patriarchy as an intangible concept that was hard to prove. It’s so obvious now. They believe in a hierarchical system and you need to accept your place in the hierarchy. You shouldn’t even fear being at the bottom of the hierarchy because it wasn’t that bad.
It boggles the mind how that man got even one black vote.
Any other president would be gone by noon
So he wants museums to praise the Future? And what the hell does he means by Brightness? All the museum walls spray-painted gold and brass?
Maybe he'd like to volunteer to serve as a mid-1800's American slave? Ya know, since he doesn't think it was so bad.
If he had done ONE day of hard labor in his entire misbegotten life, maybe he'd get some perspective?
Hey, didn’t he dig a hole to plant a tree? Along with Melania in her Louboutin stilettos.
His mortality looms large in his mind and it's bothering him that people aren't chanting 'dear leader' everywhere he goes before he drops dead.
I’m guessing he doesn’t know Smithsonian is 17 museums including arts, air & space. Wait til he hears about history of native Americans.
Can’t wait for Gavin or his writer troll this racist rapist felon ………… POS. Fuck trump.
Just threw up in my mouth a bit. This is sick bullshit.
What could his white ass possibly know about it?
Trump cries every day how badly he was/is treated.
Trump is so out of control. 😳
It’s almost as if he still has slaves?!!
No surprise. His racism is off the hook
he's had slaves for 40 years
The Brits are right, he’s a CUNT!
🤬👎 Lies! He can't destroy our history with his white washing lies.
The only thing out of control, is you, you rancid piece of pork. The Smithsonian is a reservoir and preserver of history, natural science and natural history. The only things you preserve are hate.
When someone's success depends on your staying asleep, keep your sidearm close.
Oh people are talking about alright, but not in a good way
This should end his presidency. The headline of every paper and newscast should be “Trump. Criticizes Smithsonian for saying slavery was bad!”
RIGHT??!!!! The fact that the mainstream media never covers any of the outrageous things he says in a straight forward way. They normalize him, and it's infuriating.
This mentally deranged FELON destroys EVERYTHING he touches! He’s hell bent on “white washing” the Smithsonian from our countries history & hell bent on destroying the Kennedy Center due to his jealousy of John F Kennedy. DESTROYS EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES! What a pathetic POS! 8647 🙏🏻
#ETTD
OMFG!!!
No bar too low.
Says the guy grabbing brown people off the street and laughing about feeding them to alligators. Fuck Trump!
Like this woke stuff in the Smithsonian: The Apollo 11 command capsule and the only Da Vinci painting in the Americas.
What kind of libtard commissioned DaVinci!? …What’s that? The church? I see.
And its painted by a possibly/probably gay person and the subject is (urgh) a women on top of it. Super woke...
I'm surprised the Apollo 11 capsule is deemed "woke" with that flat-looking earth picture in the background
Expected racism aside - nothing about the future? In a museum? He has no concept of a museum, does he? He has probably never visited one and it shows. The Air & Space Museum is full of successes, mostly by NASA which he is destroying. The NGA has one of the best permanent collections anywhere.
He will never step foot in a museum because it'll never be completely about him. He's a malignant narcissist and doesn't care about the success and accomplishments of other individuals.
My money is on he’s never been to a museum which is why he’s so disinterested in a presidential library other than for the grift potential.
Honestly, just WTF!
Wish I had a nickel for every time, "He's such an ass" goes through my head when I read or hear him speak. I could feed all the children free for years and years.
Many republicans metaphorically fellate a pedophile protecting neo-confederate New Yorker.
Trump is so happy being a slave to Putin, that he thinks everyone else would enjoy being slaves too, or at least some people should have the option to enjoy that.
From a MW town. We had historical sites well known as way stations on the UG railway. I hosted BB Players from our local COLLEGE to tour the area. They were from AR AL & GA-I took them to many places & these sites. They had No idea about UG RR or who Harriet Tubman was! Pathetic they weren’t taught!
Slavery was bad.
We shouldn't have to speak about how slavery is bad. We shouldn't have to talk about slavery in America 150 years after it ended. But we need to talk about why these people keep pushing a favourable light on it. They're trying to bring it back.
The rapist felon is a white supremacist terrorist and hires other white supremacists
Trump uses "unbelievable" to mean, 'excellent'.
"We want people to talk about it" and not talk about the Epstein files
Finally! Exhibits displaying dinosaurs of the future, and the future of Futurism! Feels like I've waited my whole life! xo, Nature lover and artist P.S /s
Well white GOPers in Texas are holding an elected state representative and sworn member of the Texas bar captive. Sounds suspiciously like slavery to me.
He’s such an utter fuckwit
Somene needs to "try" to explain what a museum ease
museum "is". Sorry
Well, he obviously doesn’t think the Holocaust was all that bad either.
They WANT people to not know the history SO THAT they can repeat it
Such an ignorant, racist slug of a man…
Saying his brain has jumped the shark is a severe understatement. Miller is running his brain like he is a human sock puppet.
So let's make Trump a slave for a few decades & then he can say how good it was to live in a shed with no running water, heat or air conditioning. He can work picking cotton all day long. He can be whipped & beaten bloody as an amusement. Then he can explain how good it is to be a slave.
Doesn't he know we're a whole lot more than the word "woke?" He'll see Nov 2026. When he's gone, let's erase THEIR history.
How can we be surprised anymore? He’s always been racist. But he’d rather that than be known for raping 13 year olds. Hence, the diversion from the Epstein Files.
He is such a horrible person…has always been a horrible person…& will always be a horrible person. Why should one of the dimmest & most ignorant & most corrupt ppl around be responsible for the message on anything?
I genuinely wonder how long it took him to come up with “woke is broke.”
I can imagine the best pal of a Child sex trafficker finding the “good side” of slavery. I would never have imagined there weren’t more good people on the right side of history willing to vote for a qualified woman.
Uh, pretty sure the rest of the world knows the US had slavery.
And you one know he’d be the first to have slaves today if he could.
Racist POtuS. 🖕🍊🤡
Zero surprise was felt.
A brutal and needed reminder
Oh. My. God. If he had his way America would look like it did 150 years ago.
We will never forget how terrible our treatment of indigenous people was/is or how awful slavery was or the lingering effects its caused. We will however erase and forget trump. Together we will delete anything with his name and never allow him a legacy. He'll be an ugly pimple we forgot in time.
We've always known he's a despicable racist (among other undesirable traits), it's just too unthinkable for us to really grasp the extent of his hatred or what he's capable of doing in the name of it!!
Trump believes slaves should have been grateful for the food they were given and a roof over their heads. He really is as bad as all that; Trump believes that there are strong rich people and there’s the rest of humanity. We peons should be grateful for any scraps we get.
But what about the Epstein files??
Yes, museums do not typically have any exhibitions about the future. Because, they're museums.
Whackadoodle orangeaid is!
He can’t erase racism! It still exists in every cult member. We can easily prove it!
Eff u, Donny!
Epstein
Jesus Fucking Christ
i really fucking hate him
One would hope that a president of the United States would have their presence of mine in the room and strike a phrase like that on their own. It should at least tickle one's good sense to maybe leave that thought out. (The space aliens are never going to decloak. They don't want us to find them.)
Every day is a new fresh HELL!
But unbelievable is the first word that springs to mind. Then you realise that it’s Trump and to be expected. Very much true to his brand!
Virulent, *lifelong* racist. Far too many don't know (+/or worse, don't care about) Trump's origin story, including his daddy's real estate business, of which Donald was president, that systematically discriminated, got busted & had to agree to remedial actions. And then there's the Central Park 5.
As for the discrimination action: When you're too racist for the Nixon administration...
Let’s hope the curators have hidden the artifacts.
Tough to hide an entire museum... www.si.edu/museums/afri...
Close it, paint it all gray and pretend it isn’t there?
He would be using slavery at his properties if he could. Hell, he may be doing it.
Stop “bending the damned knee!” Sue him for every “woke” thing he tries to remove.
Trying to rewrite history. This time in history will be known as "The TACO adminstration". 🎶Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells You Story🎶 (It's unbelievable how appropriate this soundtrack is today.)
Stupid effing moron!
If a third grader, a malignant one, ran the White House.
Trump would own SO many black people right now if he could.
The Convicted Felon and Rapist is a Racist #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
Make Slavery Great Again!
That's what he's hoping for. We can't let that happen!
Absolutely! I was being sarcastic. I hope people know that✌
Oh I caught the sarcasm and agree. It was a great point.
Absolutely appalling.
They want a war against the poor regardless of skin tone, this is just another dog whistle, that will distract Democrats for a while. They want people to continue thinking that the poor don't do anything, and by centering the racism instead of the class war, you are helping them nicely.
Did he just define woke as truth and historic?
Rewriting history
Only because he and his family live here!
Omggggg. How can this be our reality?!
O….M….G 🤬🤬🤬🤬
"Why don't museums talk about the good side of slavery! Too woke! Those people got free rides across the Atlantic American Ocean! FREE! To the greatest country ever to ever! Became instant "citizens" as soon as they stepped on the block! They were taught how to farm properly and pick stuff! MAGA!"
Museums show the PAST not the future donOLD. You cannot CHANGE the past or ignore it. It ALREADY HAPPENED
It we include Trump info in the Smithsonian. It will be worse than bad. It is a fucking horror show. Smear a shit stain with his name on it and that sums it all up.
Trump wants Make Believe Museums - it’s a Utopia he wants everyone to believe he alone has and can create. Like his damned Emperor’s New Clothes that no one can see except all the faithful MAGATS and sycophants.
Where is Jake Tapper? 🤔🥴😒
Writing a book.
ja mein fuhrer!
BREAKING: woke is broke says area man who spent his entire life going through bankruptcy.
Slavery was a great thing for making the white people rich. Trump's vision for America includes a slave class. You'll see. Trump mourns the loss.
Pro-Slavery has been added to the list. Right after the recent Pro-Pedo label MAGA has embraced.
He who never suffered in his life should read a book once a while. Cretin.
IMPEACH!
Trump would be fine with slavery being legal again.
Hottest country in the world. Look at America. Isn't she hot? Don't you want to grab her by the Florida and just ram it all the way up her Mississippi? Don't you want to bang her West Coast so hard she begs you to take all of her natural resources? That's right, world. You want her, so pay for her.
Could be that he’s listening to that same historian DeSantis was who said slavery wasn’t so bad and that slaves learned trades and slavery was a net benefit. Some people* believe slavery was basically on the job training. *those people are assholes
Woke is broke? What does that even mean? Is Trump implying that America will lose its wealth because the citizens have empathy or selflessness? I don't want to live in Trump's idea of America. Other countries are already avoiding us. It's going to get worse if Trump gets his way.
Maybe someone needs to explain to him (as if he were 5) how museums work.
I’d say so we learn from history blah blah but with his 6 bankruptcies that’s probably not on point
Apart from the obvious and horrific mumbo jumbo, it's clear he has never actually visited the Smithsonian to see and experience the exhibits.
Trump doesn't do museums.
Clearly
Yes, on brand and believable, but it should also be INTOLERABLE and IMPEACHABLE.
This son of a bitch on a daily basis says that because I am a Democrat it means I hate my country and want to see it destroyed. This orange prick can go straight to hell.
A constant embarrassment.
I despise him.
Yeah, having the "HOTTEST" country in the world is another one of the problems you're making WORSE!
Before his term is over this fucker is gonna brand pedophilia and slavery as the law of the land. This timeline is fucked
🙄
Trump is out of control. And Congress doesn't give a flying fuck about it.
Trump’s attacks on slavery education aren’t just ignorance—they’re racism. Whitewashing history protects white supremacy and silences Black voices. If he can erase their suffering, he can excuse his own bigotry.
I think its the point. Sadly, I live in a red rural County in a “swing” state many of the beliefs that landed us here remain. Poor white grievance has been used by the Pulpit, GOP & Trump to direct their anger at woman & minorities, rather than risk them realizing who is actually helping them fail.
Well said.
Can someone remind me when slavery was good? I’ve forgotten. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
You can draw a direct line from the Confederacy to Trumpism.
"but Gavin Newsom's posts!"
My daughter lived in the US for a while. She still talks about how WONDERFUL your museums are. She absolutely adored them. I hope that helps someone feel a tiny bit better. You're not having a fun time over there, and we care.
No one has the cojones to call him out on any of this!
So.... toxic positivity? How presidential.
Are there any MSM journalists out there who could ask Senator Tim Scott and Rep Byron Donalds about this and not let them get away with saying they haven’t seen or heard about it?
This clueless sexual assaulter of children was elected president of the USA
ain’t that some bullshit, shame on us
That is horrible but I also want to know if he thinks museums are about the future. Is he getting dumber by the day or do we just see it all now that he doesn’t have a babysitter?
