He Thinks He Can Give Away Our Stuff!

Do you believe the gall of this guy? To think that he can give away museum pieces from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum like a door prize or something.

After Declining to Give Trump a Sword for King Charles, a Museum Leader Is Out

The departure of Todd Arrington, who led the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, came after the administration sought a sword from its collection as a gift for King Charles.

President Trump wanted a gift for King Charles.

Ahead of his state visit to Britain last month, the administration began looking for an artifact relating to President Dwight D. Eisenhower that the president could give the British monarch — a sword perhaps, or something else that spoke to Eisenhower’s role as the supreme commander of the Allied forces in World War II.

Through a personal email address, an administration official approached the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home in Abilene, Kan., which has at least one Eisenhower sword in its collection, given to him in 1947 by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. But the library declined to release it or any other original artifact in its collection, on the grounds that they are the property of the U.S. government, which the library is obligated by law to preserve for the American public.

Instead, Mr. Trump wound up giving King Charles a replica sword. And this week, the director of the Eisenhower library, Todd Arrington, was forced out of his job.

Do you believe this stuff that Trump is pulling? This is another example of political overreach or misuse of authority, especially pressuring federal employees to do something of questionable legality or ethics. The Irish Times writes that;

“I never imagined that I would be fired from almost 30 years of government service for this,” he said. “I would absolutely come back in a heartbeat.”

Three other people with knowledge of the situation described the conflict over the sword.

Two said that Mr Arrington had also angered officials at the National Archives and Records Administration, which oversees the presidential library system, by sharing information with his staff about changes to long-standing plans for a new education centre, which may have contributed to his removal.

Vengeance is mine saith Trump!

This firing is to send a message… nobody talks! Trump controls the news. Lord helps anyone who contradicts the “Trump!”

Just look at what the Secretary of DEFENSE did with the military, zippered them right up. No talking to the press! No unescorted press in the Pentagon. Why? What are they hiding?
