Trump's Speech on Slavery: A Resurfaced Clip Pinpoints His Most Insincere Moment

President Donald Trump is vocally contesting the Smithsonian's displays that depict slavery and America's most troubling chapters, marking a stark contrast to his previous admiration during his initial presidential term. “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, focusing solely on the negative aspects of our nation, the horrors of slavery, and the perceived failures of the oppressed—there’s no discussion on achievements, optimism, or future prospects,” Trump expressed on TruthSocial. In an evident shift, Trump has assigned attorneys to scrutinize the museums' portrayal of U.S. patriotism, likening this review to efforts made against DEI initiatives at elite universities. “We cannot tolerate this; I’ve directed my lawyers to examine the museums and initiate a similar evaluation, as done with educational institutions where significant headway was achieved,” he stated. Contrary to his previous praise of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, where he acknowledged the fight against racial injustice, Trump’s current stance emphasizes discontent with certain exhibits that do not celebrate the nation positively.
