What, exactly, is so frightening to The Washington Post about Donald Trump’s inevitable Presidential Library?
The Washington Post has published an op-ed arguing that President Donald Trump “must never have” a presidential library. The paper, whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness,” presented an argument Thursday by “art and architecture critic” Philip Kennicott about why the history of the Trump administration should, in fact, be shrouded in darkness.
Kennicott wrote: “Trump must never have an official presidential library, and Congress should move quickly to make sure he never will.”
He argued that Trump cannot be trusted to handle documents relating to his presidency, because he “mixed public and private interests.” He adds that Trump must be punished because he allegedly “incited an insurrection” on January 6.
Kennicott argued further that Trump might use a presidential library to tout his successes, which should not be allowed:
The danger of Trump using a presidential library to burnish his image is far more serious, with the ex-president and his surrogates still promoting the idea that his electoral loss was somehow fraudulent. That creates an ongoing uncertainty in American public life, which Trump and even more unscrupulous actors will use to further division, inflame tension, exacerbate racism and delegitimize the American democratic system.
Kennicott not only calls on Congress to deny Trump any government support for a presidential library, but also says Trump should not be allowed to build one privately, calling on the public to “put pressure on corporate and other entities not to donate to any group associated with any effort to build a Trump presidential center.”
It’s always Year Zero with these evil morons. Perhaps they are frightened that President Trump will prominently feature SJWs Always Lie in his library? Or more likely, Neon Revolt’s Revolution Q.
Have you noticed yet that the media is not at all behaving as if anything is over?
