A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order calling for the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks to not display elements that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts also orders a pause on any additional changes, writing that the plaintiffs have shown that these efforts are meant “to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen.”

“History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, and achievements form an important part of our Nation’s story,” the judge wrote.

      He’s trying to build his own monuments while he’s alive because no one will build monuments to him after he’s dead.

        i’m sure we’ll eventually get a Daughter’s of the fifth reich type of organization to pop up and start funding memorials to Trump’s fascist icons.

      When he’s out, we need to pass a law making it ILLEGAL to name anything after him - buildings, highways, airports, bridges, etc. How many tributes to Hitler do you see around Germany?
