Trump vs Smithsonian: War on 'Bath-Time' History Begins
Tulsi Gabbard is throwing shade at officials who worked on the Russian 2016 interference intel, accusing them of 'politicizing intelligence.' Meanwhile, President Trump is ready to strong-arm the Smithsonian over what he calls an obsession with 'how bad Slavery was,' threatening to yank their federal funding like a moody math teacher punishing the class for failing to love history. This power play follows his familiar playbook of pressuring universities and colleges. Because nothing says 'I love America' like demanding your history museums skip the misery and keep it all sunshine and rainbows.
