Greatest American Hero

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding about Mango Mussolini's comments on the Smithsonian.

He doesn't really care about America and what Americans, great or not, did on a certain date and at a certain place. He is, by far, the most un intellectually curious person I have known of or heard about.
He wants the Smithsonian to talk about how great he is. All the amazing stuff he has done. He wants Americans to believe he is the greatest American hero to ever live. It literally consumes his every thought.
World leaders have already learned to play to it. It was on vivid display just a couple days ago.
Tickle his balls and he becomes your lapdog.

This whole dust up isn't about slavery (though he is a racist) or America or Americans.

It is what it always is: it has to be all about him.
