On a visit to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library, I’m greeted by a screen labeled “The Trump Nickname Generator.” According to this machine, were the leader of the free world attempting to bully this particular member of the failing fake-news media, he would apparently address me as “Kooky Steve Heisler.” (Sick burn!)
Squatting on a replica of the Donald’s fabled Trump Tower golden toilet, I began wishing I could flush away a filthy feeling—that the exhibit’s Viacom-approved satire lite inadvertently enshrines the propaganda of the most dangerous man in the world. Overcome by the urge to lash out, I moved toward an interactive portion of the show: a large magnetic board that allows visitors to craft and snap photos of their very own @realDonaldTrump tweets. When the shots are inevitably shared on Twitter and other social platforms, the fake tweets, like much of the exhibit from which they arise, will have the effect of a gentle tussle of Trump’s hair.
