Trump blasts 'out of control' museums for teaching 'how bad Slavery was' in wild rant

I wouldn't doubt it simply due to my inherent biases and opinions, but apparently it's a pretty murky happening to confidently designate it as "fact."

https://www.politifact.com/...

Apparently there were a lot of bystanders and citizens arrested for "not dispersing" during a parade staged by the Klan, and Fred Trump was amongst those detained, but we don't know what side he was on, as it turned into a bit of a free-for-all. (We're of course, free to make educated guesses, based on evident values held by that family.)

This however, of course, does not change the fact that regardless of that event, his son is an always-lying, child-raping, diaper-shitting, Hitler-adoring, woman-abusing, worker-exploiting, barely-human, war-mongering, fascist waste of homo-sapien DNA who won't own up to the existence of thorough records of those activities.

Complains about a history museum not focusing enough on the future.... It's whole purpose is to tell the story of the past leading up till now. If he wants to know about African Americans in space go to the space and rocket museum or NASA or hell I'm sure the Smithsonian even has exhibits. But what does he expect to see.

Near 100 years African Americans couldn't vote, more than 100 years Women couldn't vote, and decades of voter suppression of both groups after that. Less than 250 years to work with, oppression is going to show up in chunks of it. Especially when 69 million Women could face troubles voting again if the Save Act goes into effect, and already passed Congress. That's about 20% of our country... Or to put it in terms of comparison, all of the UK, more than the entire population of France or ~210 of the 230 countries in the world.

I'm sure I'm going to get banned somewhere by constantly saying this because some conservative snowflake is going to cry I said nasty things about traitors from a century ago, but one of the top 10 worst things the US did for the long run was not publicly hang every confederate officer and instead let them go around and let them cry that they were being bullied for states rights enslaving people.
