Trump targets "anti-American" ideology at Smithsonian museums

President Trump has signed an executive order targetting the Smithsonian Institution, which operates more than 20 museums and research centres in Washington DC and New York City visited annually by millions of Americans.

The order directs the VP to eliminate "improper, divisive, and anti-American ideology" from the Institution's museums, centres, and the National Zoo in Washington.

To celebrate this latest act of genius from the world's leading cultural authority, let us all post examples of "pro-American" art and culture 🇺🇸

@HobNoblin Obviously the Trump regime has a different aesthetic. People are talking about tactics and priorities. There is common ground between the two.

Orban's Hungary is the best comparison.

@Burnley123 Orban is based af too. Love Orban and Putin.

I just didn't know which emoji to post here. This is hilarious, outrageous and deeply worrying. It is very much the style of authoritarian government. The concept of 'anti-American ideology' is suspect in itself when it comes from a thin-skinned criminal who believes that whatever he thinks is somehow the epitome of being 'American'.
@FreddieUK so Macarthy -ite, so classic? Or brand new, outa the blue,? Neither, just completely meaningless?

He targeted funding. They can still put their commie anti American stuff up pictures of Trotsky or Pol Pot pissing on our flag or what ever they like. We're just not going to pay for it. That's a big difference.
HobNoblin · 36-40, M
@tenente Just watch them do it. As much as they can afford to pay for they will. What Trump has probably done is tell them if you put up anti American displays you get no federal funding. That could stop them cold if they're too dependent on federal funds. That isn't censorship though. It's refusing to fund subversion. If anyone Smithsonian or otherwise wants to display anti American art they can, they just won't get the American tax payer to fund subversion and possible revolution in their own country. That's ultimately what this is about. Had these commies behaved themselves instead of using government money to attack us with propaganda, Trump would never even have bothered them at all.

@HobNoblin It is political censorship, because it rests on his interpretation of American-ness, which is not allowed to be challenged.
HobNoblin · 36-40, M
@SunshineGirl If that's true let them go to the public and explain how Stalin wiping his butt on the American flag or what ever they're displaying is the most American thing ever.

The US is getting to be a really scary place! This sounds so much like Nazi Germany. You people need to fight.

What in the Smithsonian is anti-American?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@JimboSaturn I can hazard guesses. I am less certain about the National Zoo 🙈
@JimboSaturn doesn't this remind you of the red scares, the Macarthy era "Un-American Activities Committee"?
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@Roundandroundwego Very much so. More creepy in a way.

I wonder if his Minister of Proganda put this in his head.

Is it owned by government? If not Trump can't direct it to do certain things.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@zonavar68 I think he is making future federal subsidy conditional upon following his order.

@Roundandroundwego Sure. What do you consider Putin?

That being said, bring charges and go through due process. It's not against the law to have a different point of view....well it used to be ...now it's Thou Shalt Not Speak Against Dear Felon Leader Trump.
@JSul3 people consider Putin, Trump, Obama, Hillary and Biden to be corporatists. People voted to enable them. Keeping America corporatist again.

@SunshineGirl cutting Government waste is the opposite of Socialism

... so how is giving back $5000 to ORDINARY citizens, him doing favours for his WEALTHY friends

... if you can't find anything on Trump, just make it up ... just like the Russian Collusion debacle

Riddle me this, how is Omar worth $83 MILLION, bearing in mind her salary is $160,000 x 8 yrs in Congress makes that $1,000,080 minus the cost of living
@BigGuy2 losing the freedom of expression and the right to your political views is now American, again?
BigGuy2 · 31-35, M
@Roundandroundwego oh really ... i'm not Sleepy, or his administration, so you should be aiming your comments to them, WHEN they lie that they didn't, then have a chat with Zuckerburg ... can be any more fairer than that can i 😎😎😎
