President Donald Trump again attacked the Smithsonian Institution as “woke” and focusing too much on slavery, prompting online observers to call him out.
On Tuesday (August 19), President Donald Trump once again attacked the Smithsonian Institution and its museums, raging that they’ve become too “woke” and complaining that showing “how bad Slavery was” is harming the nation. His words were met with severe pushback online, with many calling him out for racism and hypocrisy, and others claiming its another distraction from his haphazard and unpopular second presidential term.
“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE’,” Trump began in his Truth Social post. “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”
