This is your president

In his upcoming memoir, newly appointed Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III describes the private tour he gave President Trump of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, recalling that Trump’s reaction to the Dutch role in the global slave trade was, “You know, they love me in the Netherlands.”

Bunch writes, "All I could say was let’s continue walking.”

“There is little I remember about the rest of the hour we spent together. I was so disappointed in his response to one of the greatest crimes against humanity in history,” he continues. “Here was a chance to broaden the views and the understanding of the incoming president and I had been less successful than I had expected.”

I can't even imagine having to pretend this man is a normal human being.

Trump greeted [Bunch] warmly and expressed his wife’s enjoyment of a tour she had with Sara Netanyahu, wife of the Israeli prime minister, according to Bunch.

WTF?

The incoming president wanted to come on the holiday commemorating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., according to the memoir. The administration also asked that the museum be closed to the public during the visit. “The notion that we could shut out visitors on the first King holiday since the opening of the museum was not something I could accept,” Bunch writes. Another day was chosen.

Arrogance, entitlement like you've never seen before.  I'm surprised he didn't refuse to go then.  Perhaps his aides made up some acceptable reason he couldn't go that day.  Any guesses what it would have been?

Before the president-elect arrived, his aides told Bunch that Trump “was in a foul mood and that he did not want to see anything ‘difficult,’ ” Bunch writes. Nevertheless, Bunch started the tour in the history galleries, which begin with the global slave trade.

He's in an African-American museum and he doesn't want to see anything "difficult".

“It was not my job to make the rough edges of history smooth, even for the president,” he writes.

Kudos Mr. Bunch. Prepare for some nasty tweets.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
