About today's 45 visit to the AA Museum. It was disgraceful on so many levels.

The media is not doing their job at all on this. It's almost as though they have caved to 45's pressure.

You can't even cover on floor of the Museum in a day. How much time did he spend there to praise Ben Carson and ignore everything else. He sounded like he was reading his words. I didn't see it but heard it on the radio.

I can't even go there about the disrespect I felt he showed for Jews.

It was a disgusting display of insensitivity and callous narcissism.

i am at a loss for more words.

As is everything that creature does. One can only hope he learned something about Frederick Douglass when he was there (if he's capable of learning).

3. It's like he did the CliffsNotes version of the museum tour.

Now that I think about it, he is the CliffsNotes president.

4. Drumpf can say whatever he wants and hold however many publicity stunts "proving" he isn't a racist

but he still has a white nationalist as a senior advisor, and he still won't openly denounce the racist alt-right whom he courted during the election.

7. It was a photo op.

I'd rather he was at any museum for a photo op than in the Oval Office signing executive orders. I think he should go on field trips as often as possible. Maybe he might learn a fact or two that wasn't alternative.

That is precisely why he WON'T go on more field trips; he can't stand being told something that goes against what he thinks.

9. I have to keep reminding myself that he's just a high society-wannabe slumlord and that

money does not buy character.

He's guilty of everything he accuses someone else of, and he's a stain on the coverpages of the thousands of history books currently being written about him.

This latest photo op is just another knot in the leather whip I hope is waiting for his nightly beating sessions by the demons of hell.

</rant> I'm going to bake a cheescake now.
