Mr. Trump, this statute at the National Museum of African American History and Culture does not "undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States".
It does not "fosters a sense of national shame."
It does not "advance a corrosive ideology."
It is literally what might redeem the USA.

On the field they were the kind of winner you could never be.
On the podium, they were the kind of heroes you do not even have the courage to imagine being.
Thank you for not being one of them.

I reckon we’d take the statue here in Oz if the organs thug gets rid of it.
That IS America. At least was…and I deeply hope shall again be.
I don't think his personality can separate the posibility of redemption from shame. Being redeemed admits to having been flawed.
