The Toxic Beliefs of Donald Trump: A Critical Analysis

When does the portrayal of historical events devolve into a "corrosive ideology"? Currently, the administration appears intent on erasing significant aspects of our nation's history, specifically regarding the atrocities of enslavement and its fundamental contribution to the nation's fabric. It must be emphasized: the United States as we know it could not exist without the labor that built its very foundations, including the White House and the Capitol, alongside the monuments to notorious slaveholders that abound. According to The Washington Post, anonymous sources suggest that the administration has mandated the removal of exhibits and signs related to slavery across several national parks. This move follows an executive order from March, directing the Interior Department to eliminate references deemed "corrosive." The National Park Service has flagged numerous signs as part of this whitewashing effort. A troubling trend emerges: prioritizing cultural disputes over pressing economic issues, leaving a distorted view of American history.
