Having his impeachments removed from the Smithsonian is all anyone needs to know that this man is a total feckless coward. What would a bad ass do in his place: highlight his impeachments and that he survived them as a badge of vindication. Removing them in an attempt to revise history is as weak as you can get. Its an acknowledgment of wrong doing that is embarrassing to him. It is no different than getting caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert and then reacting to the camera in shame.

(34,921 posts)I could not think of a better term no matter how hard I tried. Thanks. I do not think that his base would like the thought of him being less than a brave general for their lives. Candy Ass, an oldie but a goodie.
A President, with much to defend,
Had his impeachments, history's friend.
But he, in his fright,
Hid them from sight,
A shame-faced coward to the end.
Trump, impeached for his deeds,
Tore out the whole historical weeds.
To hide from the past,
His spine couldn't last,
A snowflake with very weak needs.

Probably not a coincidence:

- Trump signs an executive order about the Smithsonian, targeting âdivisiveâ content
- Trump then ousts the Smithsonianâs portrait gallery director
- The Smithsonian then removes a reference to Trumpâs impeachment from a history exhibit www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The Smithsonians National Museum of American History in July removed references to President Donald Trumps two impeachments from an exhibit display. A person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly, said the change came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.
As someone who wrote a book about efforts to rewrite history and what I described as the Republicans war on the recent past, I couldnt help but marvel at such a brazen example of an institution succumbing to presidential pressure and altering a historical display about events Americans already saw with their own eyes......
But this story comes against an important backdrop. In late March, Trump signed an executive order that directly took aim at the Smithsonian and its museums, directing officials to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the institution. The same order accused the Biden administration of, among other things, using the Smithsonian to advance what the Republican president described as a corrosive ideology.
How did the White House define words such as improper, divisive, anti-American and corrosive in an ideological context? The order didnt say. Presumably, Trump knows it when he sees it. Was there any proof of the Biden administration misusing the Smithsonian? No.....
The title of the White Houses order from March said the directive is intended to restore sanity to American history. Given the circumstances, sanity is not the word that comes to mind.
