Donald Trump’s first salvo against the Smithsonian Institution came in March, when the president signed an odd executive order directing officials to eliminate “improper, divisive, or anti-American” ideology from its museums. A few months later, he fired the director of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, despite questions about whether he had the legal authority to do so.

Last week, the White House let the Smithsonian know that it has plans to conduct a far-reaching review of its museums to ensure the content it presents to the public aligns with Trump’s views on American history. It’s against this backdrop that NBC News reported:

Trump voiced outrage this afternoon in a post on Truth Social about the types of exhibits shown in the Smithsonian and other museums across the country. ‘The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future,’ he said.

I wrote a book last year about Republican efforts to rewrite recent history, and Trump's tirade suggests the broader campaign is poised to become even more aggressive.

3. Notice you never see these assholes who think slavery, or homelessness, or unemployment is great and wonderful

never sign up for it themselves?

If these awful things were a walk in the park, the rich would be passing laws reserving them for themselves.

4. Pretty soon it will be "woke" to gripe about his camps with slave workers in them too

Got another new camp going up in McCook Nebraska. What do you know....lots of beef packing plants up there too.

9. The opposite of being 'Woke' is being 'Asleep', or in this case a 'Bigot'.

Sometimes I think someone showed Trump the movie '1984' right after 'Alcatraz'.
