250 Years, of Trump?
Trump acts as though he owns the country; Washington is histo do with as he pleases. This is exacerbated by his goal to place his name on everything, it seems-the renaming of the Kennedy Center, his planned ballroom, the huge arch, and his image and signature on currency, passports and National Park passes.
And the excuse for these developments is the country’s 250thanniversary. Trump’s Administration claims this is all part of the celebration. But if this is true, wouldn’t it make sense to highlight the images of those who actually founded the country rather than his own picture?
But he couldn’t have done all of this by himself. TheRepublican senators and representatives who vote in support of his initiatives are also guilty. So too is Trump’s cabinet. The sycophantic praise by his cabinet is remarkable.
Back to Lincoln
In preparation for the UFC fight at the White House, apre-fight meeting was held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The memorial celebrates President Lincoln and his works, not a fight Trump is promoting.
This site has also witnessed historic events. One of themost memorable is the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. On this occasion, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his famous I Have a Dream” speech.“Free at last, Free at last, Great God a-mighty, We are free at last.”
And now, on these very same steps that gave birth to thisspeech, UFC fighters face-off. Donald Trump has desecrated the site and what it represents to us.
And this leads us to the White House and the upcoming UFCfight. It’s inappropriate.
Historians will make note of how you disgraced the LincolnMemorial and the “People’s House.” You may think your name and administration will be praised in the future? In reality, for these reasons and so many others, it will surely be censured.
