    All of the museum people (curators, assistant curators, curatorial assistants, devo, registration, facilities generally make starvation wages. They tend to be deeply proud of their work and the contant of the museum and thats why they work there. So this nonsense has to be absolutely gutting everyone there, and probably across the Smithsonian museums in general. I feel really bad for them along with all the African Americans being attacked by this.

    This action takes all of their work through their career and kind of lights it all on fire, for no reason but that Trump is angry at the world because he has a tiny penis and knows that everyone he knows cant stand him.

    Stay strong, museum folks.

      Also the examples listed here the artifacts are going back to their original owners who have already protected these items for years or decades. I think the curators and other museum people would rather have the items in safe private hands instead of unsafe public hands.
