    1. Republicans are now officially the „pro slavery“ party

      Kudos MAGA masterful gambit

      Museums aren’t often in the business of describing the future…

      Also, countries that hide their history or rewrite it with a nicer narrative are never great.

      Are we sure he doesn’t have syphilis and isn’t literally losing his mind?

      Trumps dad was probably a KKK supporter if not a member. With people like Stephen Miller and giga billionaire CEO’s running around the White House the push for a “slavery wasn’t *that* bad” narrative does not suprise me one bit.

    5. Dude’s never walked into a Smithsonian museum in his life. Or if he has, he remembers literally nothing about it because he was worried he would burst into flame or something the entire time. LIke, Jesus Christ, all the Air and Space Museum is a non stop barrage of „WE’RE AWESOME! TECHNOLOGY IS AWESOME! USA USA USA!“.

      This alone disqualifies him as President. Of course he has never been qualified, this is just his racism leaking out. A malignant narcissist has no ability to feel empathy for others. He does not feel bad for the slaves, because he can’t. He does not feel sorry for Epstein’s victims or his own, because he can’t.

      The majorly surprising thing about the Smithsonian and the way they portray the legacy of slavery is that Donald Trump raped children.

      Uh, history museums are probably NOT the proper place to be looking for predictions about the future. I’m just sayin’. Come to think of it, the future isn’t so rosy either.

    9. sugarlessdeathbear on

      Yeah, I’m gonna need Republicans to never again associate themselves with the man who freed slaves, as they are now the opposite party.

    10. Remember how getting rid of statues glorifying the Confederacy meant that Democrats were destroying history? Funny how MAGA has a problem with that but not this.

    11. kittenTakeover on

      Trumps executive order to the Smithsonian says the following:

      * Commands the vice president to „remove improper ideology“ from the Smithsonian.
      * Prohibits museums from funding „exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race, or promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with Federal law and policy.“
      * „reinstate the pre-existing monuments“ of confederate soldiers
      * Ban installations that „inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times)

      It’s very troubling revisionist history. Donald has declared all out war on public education with this administration. He’s doing whatever he can to keep people ignorant, confused, and divided.

      No one wants to eat their vegetables.

      If you wanna talk about American greatness, you gotta at the very fucking LEAST acknowledge American not-so-greatness.

      That’s all this is. It’s not a request for money or even action. It’s just simple acknowledgement.

      But god forbid anyone be forced to deal with reality briefly.

    13. Majestic_Electric on

      No shit! Nothing good came from slavery, so why the fuck would they teach the opposite?

    14. Son of Klan member rants and raves how the Smithsonian teaches American slavery in a bad light.

      Water is wet.

    15. Please please please tell me the museum is getting the originals of the exhibits and all the evidence some where safe out of his reach. Let him burn the copies they won’t know the difference. Ship the originals, the books, the journals the accounts everything overseas to all the great museums of the world and have them protect it so he can’t delete what happened.

    16. ChamberofSarcasm on

      I can’t believe this is a real statement being said by an adult in 2025.

    17. Trump is a racist pig who knows absolutely nothing about our history. If it isn’t shiny, gaudy gold, it’s bad.

      If it isn’t Confederate-related, it’s wrong.

      I hope the Smithsonian fights back.

    18. So thinking slavery is bad is now being woke? It still shocks me that people put this human shit stain on a pedestal.

    19. vlatheimpaler on

      How is believing slavery was bad a „woke“ thing?

      And wtf, can they finally just give up on using „woke“ to describe everything they don’t like? That was like a word that briefly made it into younger generations‘ vocabularies for like 3 months and then when old shits like Trump started using it the kids stopped. Now whenever I see these old Republican guys using that word I can’t help but think of the Steve Buscemi „How do you do, fellow kids?“ meme.

    20. When you have use “being pro slavery” to distract from “being pro pedophiles”…
      Fuck this timeline

      >“how bad Slavery was“

      Over the years there were a couple times I encountered people online who thought „Slavery wasn’t so bad.“ I asked them to explain their thinking, which of course was extremely racist.

      Then I’d say, „Ok let’s think some more about reviving Slavery, since it’s not so bad…but this time it’s YOUR WIFE & KIDS WHO ARE ENSLAVED.“

      Jeez, the guy was so enraged I was glad we were a couple thousand miles apart! He took it absolutely personally that anybody would dare enslave his family, even in a conversation!

      Hopefully at some point in the future it dawned on him that Slavery is equally brutal and horrific for every family.

      „nothing about the future“

      I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what museums are.

    23. Dense-Ad-5780 on

      Yeah, because slavery was fucking bad. That’s not a “woke” thing, that’s just one of those objectively true things.

    24. TheBlueBlaze on

      To conservatives, this isn’t hypocrisy, it’s pure ego. They know what they want is propaganda and they don’t care.

      To them, feeling like they live in the greatest country in the history of the world matters more than telling the truth, and they don’t care what lies they have to say to make that feel true.

      They are outright incapable of thinking about the plight of people that aren’t them, so they want history to reflect that. Supporting this is supporting an actual aspect of fascism.

    25. Dan-Of-The-Dead on

      Yeah you know slavery is bad n all but talk about brilliant business model!

    26. Sinphony_of_the_nite on

      No one is arguing that slavery isn’t at the foundation of the country, but is still a bad thing and presenting it in a positive light is ridiculous, especially considering that it reasonable to think the country would be even better if slavery never happened. It is hard to doubt the civil war would have never happened at least.

    27. Any_Cardiologist6972 on

      History in Trump’s mind: Indigenous people were feral, black people were happy in slavery, it was easier for women when they didn’t get to vote.

    28. osirisattis on

      Pro slavery, pro pedophilia, pro Russia, keep going you fucking lunatics. The reckoning is fucking coming.

    29. So he wants them to display things about the future? “Here is our display on the 45 & 47th president. Thrice impeached once convicted.” Things like that?

    30. crunchysauces on

      I never thought I’d see the day where a political party openly defends paedophilia. Release the files.

    31. triple_heart on

      Slavery was bad. Very bad. Vile, abhorrent, violent, hateful, a crime against humanity. Asshole…

    32. DramaticWesley on

      Nothing about success? Your party (GOP/MAGA) love flying the confederate flag, and one could say the Confederacy never actually existed since they never won their independence. Your party loves failures. It’s the only way they could turn a pedophile con man into their Christ-like figure.

    33. Naptasticly on

      History isn’t about bragging on your accomplishments. It’s about teaching people how hard it was to overcome adversity, avoid making the same mistakes, and inspire more positive change.

      History Museums aren’t meant to be a “victory lap”
