Smithsonian Chief Calls Out Trump for Wanting to Close African American Museum on MLK

Saying He Didn’t Want to See Anything ‘Difficult’


AmeriKKKa’s favorite president had special requests for the National Museum of African American History and Culture on his first visit back in 2017.

The newly appointed Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III offers some revelations about the then soon-to-be president’s visit in his upcoming memoir, A Fool’s Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama and Trump, that may not shock at all—but is disturbing nonetheless.

For starters, Trump requested his visit to be on the nationally observed Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

Sounds like a good idea right? Great for optics in some circles.

But dude wanted to have the premises shut down to the public during his personal tour.


And when Trump and his chain gang visited—including the formerly beloved surgeon turned bumbling presidential candidate and now HUD secretary Dr. Ben Carson, and former press secretary Sean Spicer—Bunch recalled that he was warned by White House aides that Trump “was in a foul mood and that he did not want to see anything ‘difficult.’”

Perhaps they should’ve taken him to Disneyland. Or even Dollywood.

There are slave ship replications and remnants from the Civil Rights Movement juxtaposed alongside entertainment-focused exhibits and other materials that explore the pantheon of just about everything The Blacks had to endure on American soil how and we helped build this country.

“It was not my job to make the rough edges of history smooth, even for the president,” Bunch, who was on the ground floor of the momentous landmark since its inception, wrote.

“The president paused in front of the exhibit that discussed the role of the Dutch in the slave trade,” Bunch continued. “As he pondered the label I felt that maybe he was paying attention to the work of the museum. He quickly proved me wrong. As he turned from the display he said to me, ‘You know, they love me in the Netherlands.’ All I could say was let’s continue walking.”

Why is that piece of sht, MLK Jr., a thing? Do we want to make heroes of people, like King, who cheer on the rape culture? Do we want to make heroes out of people who cheat through school? Do we want to make heroes out of something as ugly as a negro?
