Trump administration officials have suggested that the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery create a section in the museum to display multiple images of the president in addition to his official portrait.
The concept initially came up during a Dec. 19 tour of the museum that included Abby Jones, the acting chief of protocol at the State Department, and the White House photographer, Daniel Torok, according to three people familiar with the discussions. They said the administration officials noted that the White House often received artworks of Mr. Trump created by Americans that could make for a display in a corner of the museum.
I have a sickening feeling that if we are to survive this, the Democrats will chicken out of purging the country of all this Trump hagiography including the ballroom, the naming of institutions, the ugly gilt all of it. They won’t want to agitate the cult and that will make them more angry than anything else we could do.
But the country will have to purge itself of all this at some point. Maybe they could keep one exhibit at the Smithsonian about the dark time when America inexplicably fell under the spell of a tyrannical nutcase and almost destroyed itself.
