(574 posts)Since it's a US Museum, the president can probably waltz in whenever he wishes.

(13,526 posts)that it's a "tradition" for the pres. to be there? And it would cause big controversy some kind of way not to invite him?

(233 posts)Why would they agree to this. NOTHING good comes from it. I mean, I'll pop some popcorn and watch his screw up, but I don't get the political decision from his people.

(3,115 posts)...is on a desecration tour. Starting with those racist pigs he invited to the White House, who behaved just like thugs who break into a sacred space after hours to piss on the carpeting. Next he will be defiling the Holocaust Museum with a joke that will begin, "Too bad they didn't have microwave ovens back then." He'll finish the appalling week by grabbing some innocent onlooker's p***y in front of the Lincoln Memorial and proclaiming that he's acquired a "Lincoln Log."
This despicable scumbag and his Repuke enablers are filth.

(13,526 posts)"Desecration tour" - perfect description of his entire so-called presidency so far. As one who has been speechless for months now, I appreciate your finely-crafted post - thank you.
