Donald Trump was the subject of much internet mockery on Tuesday after he griped in a Truth Social post about the Smithsonian Institution (checks notes) portraying slavery as a bad thing.
In the post, the president lashed out at Americas museums for being the last remaining segment of WOKE, before singling out the Smithsonian as OUT OF CONTROL for discussing how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been, but nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.
Trumps animosity toward the Smithsonian is nothing new.

So naturally, people blasted Trump for complaining about the Smithsonian putting slavery in a bad light.

(1,386 posts)I was there that day, when he said that for the first of a billion times.
And yet NOBODY EVER ASKED WHAT THE US WOULD LOOK LIKE AFTER THE "GREATIFICATION"!!!!!
Whatever ... when he says it, it's The God's Own Truth.
When Democrats say it, it's Treason.
In Oklahoma, if you can't puke-up the MAGALOMANIA Manifesto, you won't be allowed to Teach there.
LIBERTY! LIBERTY! LIBERTY!... All join in... LIBERTY! LIBERTY! LIBERTY!
You Free Now... go pick that cotton, Boy.
Deplorable.

(2,075 posts)Most of the rant is outright offensive, but that part about the future is just plain stupid. My first thought was, "Aren't museums generally about the past?" How exactly are we supposed to preserve the future?
Also, the talk about America being "hot"? Yeah, he did put the word in quotes, but it sounds like he thinks that the country looks good in a bikini.

(1,386 posts)treated to their nightly adjunct duties with Massa, and watches as his children are SOLD... SOLD... SOLD!... I wonder if he's still wavin' that flag for the Lost Cause ?
I wonder what a twelve-year-old Ivanka would have fetched for Massa? (Although he has already called dibs?)
That he even made such an assertion about Slavery makes me want to PUKE!!!!!
Slavery is WRONG. (Remember how Jesus abused his Slaves?) (Oh, never-mind... That's only in the Trump Bible. My Mistake!)
Once again for those at the bar: Slavery is WRONG!!!!!
Deplorable.

(12,164 posts)All he has done in this second term is tear thru every institution that made us a wonderful country. He has turned the Kennedy Center into a photo backdrop for sudden impromptu press conferences. I don't ever remember a gift shop in the White House. The SOB does not understand what the Smithsonian is! Someone needs to sit this man down and tell him it's time to STOP once and for all! Someone needs to put him in a straight jacket , GD it. The Emperor has no clothes! He's out of his ever-loving mind all ready! .The marauding must stop. They are getting ready to rip the heart out of America by removing or dismantling The Smithsonian museums, the Native American and the African American museums. He's the one that's out of control, not the Smithsonian!!!!

(19,138 posts)L O N D O N, March 2 -- Like silent sentinels in a foreign land, two giant Buddhas have gazed out from the cliffs of Bamiyan in Afghanistan since the 5th century.
Today, it has been confirmed that their gaze will be lowered forever under a hail of tank and rocket fire ending perhaps thousands of years of religious tolerance.
Sources from the Afghan Northern Alliance have confirmed that Afghanistan's hard-line Islamic warriors, the Taliban started demolishing Buddha statues in Bamiyan today. And they plan to destroy Buddha images all over the country
