Now, Trump / Vance Claims To Be Able To Dictate What The Exhibits At The Smithsonian May "Depict, Think And Say" -- As To... American History?!

Man. . . these "Dear Leader" Chronicles are. . . off the hook. He claims a power to militarize DC -- while lying about declining crime in the District. He claims a power to "deport" the DC homeless. . . to Virginia. He's rolled federales -- into LA -- uninvited.

And now (as he's previously threatened -- as to the National Parks, yet hasn't so far overtly acted upon. . .) he has sent "a letter" telling the Smithsonian. . . that he and he alone, will decide what's "pro-American" enough -- to remain on display, and in label / narrative and sign-copy.

This is -- at bottom -- a sad, small. . . uneducated man (who, along with JD Vance. . . cannot accept dissent of any sort). Charming, per The Guardian (UK), tonight:

. . .The Trump administration is evidently extending its control of cultural representation at the Smithsonian, the world’s largest museum and research complex.

In a letter posted on the White House website, the administration told the Smithsonian that it plans a wide review of exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of the US’s 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026. . . .

And we all know -- this latest chaos is solely to be bread and circuses, to distract from his failing economy, rising tariffs / inflation rates, and stagnant employment (also largely due to tariff uncertainty). Damnation. Out.
