Historians pull apart Trump's 'skewed narrative' on presidential walk of fame
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
The New York Times had historians look at President Donald Trump's presidential walk of fame and called out obvious biases and an odd writing style.Trump's "Walk of Fame" features 47 plaques and a summary of all of the 47 presidencies, including Trump's. According to a detailed article by the Times, the histories are skewed and "peppered with falsehoods, misrepresentations, insults, praise, self-promotion and erratic capitalizations."Historians familiar with Democratic and Republican presidencies looked at the summaries included in the walkway and found a "skewed narrative" that cast Trump "as the protagonist." The summaries are written in "Trump's signature hyperbolic style, as seen in his social media posts," the Times wrote based on feedback from the historians.Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement, "As a student of history, many were written directly by the president himself." Sean Wilentz, an American history professor at Princeton University, told the Times that the presidential walk of fame is "not so much bad history as it is anti-historical."The Times also noted a "sharper and more partisan tone" in the summaries for more recent presidents such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama. The "Walk of Fame" also describes the White House ballroom as already built, and the description of the first year of Trump's second term is longer than those for presidents Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt combined.
