The Washington Post has published an op-ed arguing that President Donald Trump “must never have” a presidential library.
The paper, whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness,” presented an argument Thursday by “art and architecture critic” Philip Kennicott about why the history of the Trump administration should, in fact, be shrouded in darkness.
Kennicott wrote: “Trump must never have an official presidential library, and Congress should move quickly to make sure he never will.”
He argued that Trump cannot be trusted to handle documents relating to his presidency, because he “mixed public and private interests.” He adds that Trump must be punished because he allegedly “incited an insurrection” on January 6.
Kennicott argued further that Trump might use a presidential library to tout his successes, which should not be allowed:
The danger of Trump using a presidential library to burnish his image is far more serious, with the ex-president and his surrogates still promoting the idea that his electoral loss was somehow fraudulent. That creates an ongoing uncertainty in American public life, which Trump and even more unscrupulous actors will use to further division, inflame tension, exacerbate racism and delegitimize the American democratic system.
Moreover, Kennicott argues, even if Trump were to build a presidential library, he does not have the skill (despite decades of success as a developer) to build one:

These people are working up the nerve for a pogrom. It’s coming. Bank on it.
Third rate, biased newspaper companies should never be considered a credible, objective opinion on matters such as this. They did this to themselves forever. Move on... nothing to see here.
Paging Winston Smith, ... Paging Winston Smith, ... Big Brother requires you at your duty station, ... you have a new assignment.
NO statues, no photographs, no nuthin.
There are four lights.
If ever one could be called “fu##ing evil” it is this Kennicott clown.

Winston Smith . . . memory hole . . . 1984 . . . but far easier in the digital age.
Hold on to your books. Buy the ones you’ve been thinking about, because today’s little kids will probably soon read only the digital stuff approved by Big Brother.
Washington Compost. Why would a person who is such a genius at building an amazing business have such a warped political belief system?
“Moreover, Kennicott argues, even if Trump were to build a presidential library, he does not have the skill (despite decades of success as a developer) to build one:”
What about Obama’s library building success .....he hasn’t even broken ground yet. Just like his book. It will take forever. Trump’s will probably be done before Obama’s.
The American Left is old ‘60s and ‘70s “anarchists” and their Prozac’d, Ritalined and Adderalled kids and grandkids. They live in their own crazy world, constantly trying to foist it on the rest of us — I guess to make them feel less insane.
And one thing the obvious election fraud proved is that there’s not as many of them as they think there are.
Without the cheerleading of their bought-and-paid-for media, they would be nothing.
How Pharaoh of them.
Bezos-WaPo needs to be canceled.
For the Children...
Well then all Presidential Libraries must be closed and their papers moved to the Library of Congress or national Archives to administer.
It would be more of a resort than a Presidential library....and the most visited on earth because it would have something the other presidential librarys dont.....mass interest!
No, stalled.
because he “mixed public and private interests.”
I’m pretty sure this guy has Trump and Biden mixed up in his (tiny) mind.
The Commie Post isn’t even worth its weight in toilet paper
Seriously? A critic? A guy who's spent his life tearing down others? Um, yeah.
Sure. Let’s bury all sorts of history. SFran wants to remove Abe Lincoln from school names because he wasn’t serious about slavery. They tore down US Grant’s statue. Not sure why since Grant did the heavy lifting during the civil war. Screw these guys and their desire to eliminate history.
