The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

Trump Says Smithsonian Focuses Too Much on ‘How Bad Slavery Was’

“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,” Mr. Trump said in a social media post. “This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

Mr. Trump made the comments a week after the White House told the Smithsonian that its museums would be required to adjust any content that the administration finds problematic in “tone, historical framing and alignment with American ideals” within 120 days. Taken together, the administration’s examination and Mr. Trump’s post on Tuesday were the latest example of Mr. Trump trying to impose his will on a cultural institution and minimize the experiences and history of Black people in the United States.

“It’s the epitome of dumbness to criticize the Smithsonian for dealing with the reality of slavery in America,” said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian. “It’s what led to our Civil War and is a defining aspect of our national history. And the Smithsonian deals in a robust way with what slavery was, but it also deals with human rights and civil rights in equal abundance.”

My god, you mean to tell us slavery wasn't that bad? Somehow a museum contrived to make it worse than what it actually was? @Huggy Bear is Prez now?

It's a shame that whoever hit him in the head with a baseball bat didn't finish the job.

Trump Says Ending The Ukraine War Should Get Him Into Heaven

“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty– I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,” Trump joked. “But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he added.

I'm sure God will balance Trump's shattering of the Commandments, pathological lying, profaning the Bible by hawking his own version of it at 100 beans a copy, nightmarish treatment of immigrants, and being an all-around shitbird for the past 60 years without a break, against stopping a war and grant him Eternal Bliss. God's like that, you know.

If there is an afterlife, it will be interesting for him.

Upstairs won't have him.

Downstairs don't want him (they have standards, afterall).

So Purgatory?

Somewhere special all his own?

God may construct a special unlimed outhouse just for Trump.

Does HIPAA provide any shield? @brewer, do you have any insight?

"Party of small government."

Small enough to get into the tiniest of genital orifices.

Big enough to intrude on all of them.
