Is it possible that the MLK bust was removed for the Churchill bust

[Binders Keepers]

and the reporter was indeed correct that it was no longer in the O.O., but then the administration put it back and claimed it had been there all along? (Apologies if this theory has already been covered.)

1. Possible but the reporter apologized pretty quickly.

Wouldn't put anything past this group though.

6. Wouldn't you apologize quickly too

Sounds like they will crucify anyone that calls them out, so if it can't be proven and you don't want to be blackballed...

I'd like to see the videos and pics taken that would prove or disprove this.

2. That's what I wasn't sure of--

the time lapse between his initial tweet and first apology.

8. less than an hour

He said a door and an agent was blocking his view of it, but it was beside the fireplace earlier. It doesn't look like a door is there?
I really think the whole thing is a ruse to screw with the media. A correction tweet was made before an hour was up, yet they are acting like this tweet was front page news in a real magazine.

4. there was a video of trump in the oval

office and i thought they had taken out the bust also.

5. I thought the Churchill bust was on loan and Obama gave it back?

it's an 8 year old memory but it seems the right made a big deal about it. . .

But here is another article saying Trump brought the bust back so maybe it wasn't so wrong.

7. Well, what we know for certain from published photographs is that the bust sat prominently in view

in President Obama's White House and then day one, trump moved it out of site behind a door that no one has published photos of (yet?).

Oh, and he hung gold curtains. In the Oval.

They tell so many lies...and the pattern has been bigger lies get said louder and more often. I personally don't give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I think they doth protest too much.

10. They should have both busts on the shelf.

Facing each other and pretending to kiss, like you did with Barbie and Ken.


Just when one thinks they have reached new depths of stupidity, that barrier is shattered.

11. He should just put in Ken and Barbie dolls.

In his down time he can have Barbie piss on Ken.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. I think it should be removed

It doesn't belong in the same space that he occupies. I wouldn't be surprised if a bust of Robert E. Lee or Nathan Bedford Forrest shows up in there at some point as "gifts".

13. Given that his motivation for *keeping* a bust of Lincoln and/or Dr. King in his office...

would be strictly manipulative, why should we care.

I'm surprised that he hasn't filled the room with giant eagle sculptures!
