Donald Trump revealed his intentions to reshape the Smithsonian Institution with an executive order on Thursday that targets funding to programs with “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology”.
The president said there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite US history by replacing “objective facts” with a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth”.
Trump wouldn’t know an objective fact if it spanked him with a magazine.
That’s incidentally the lede. While he’s specified as the president in graf 2, a headless full name on first reference is certainly an editorial choice.
That’s likely only interesting to journalists, but this whole mess is further proof that any accusations the GOP throws out are actually admissions of guilt.
