  5. One of the very most absurd and offensive things that the trump administration has yet done in its destructive reign is surely its Domestic Policy Council (truly a think-tank of historical scholars...) reviewing the work done by the Smithsonian Institution chronicling history over its nearly 200 years of existence and finding it to be "inaccurate" and in need of disclaimers, warnings, and alterations.

On August 3, 2023, Trump was riding to the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse for arraignment on four counts tied to his effort to overturn the 2020 election when he began stewing over the state of the capital, the ex-official told Semafor. #Homeless encampments lined the streets.
