Here's One Smithsonian Painting the White House Wants to Censor

[Coventina]

Escalating its mission to eliminate so-called “woke” content from the Smithsonian, Trump’s team has just publicly identified artwork it hopes to censor.

On Thursday, the White House’s official rapid response X account shared a post casting aspersions on a Rigoberto A. Gonzalez painting titled Refugees Crossing the Border Wall Into South Texas.

The piece depicts a family of four in Baroque style: two parents with a young boy and a baby, at a ladder leaning against the southern border wall. A finalist for the National Portrait Gallery’s 2022 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, the piece appeared in that Smithsonian Museum from 2022 to 2023, according to the competition’s website.

The White House social team, seemingly irked by this humanizing portrayal of people demonized by the Trump administration, accused the work of “commemorating the act of illegally crossing the ‘exclusionary’ border.”

1. You would have to have empathy to look at that picture and be pained.

The malignant narcissist has zero empathy so the picture bothers him, but not in the way it bothers you and I. He sees it as a slap against him because with a narcissist, everything is about them.

By the way, if you haven't already, read the novel "American Dirt". It will draw you in within the first couple of pages.

8. Bingo!

He sees it as a slap against him because with a narcissist, everything is about them.

I'm convinced that this fact is key to why he reacts the way he does to so many, many things: because of his narcissism, he sees a slap against himself in things that none of us would ever see that way. I think this business with the Smithsonian is a classic example.

It can be really hard for those of us who are not narcissists to fully comprehend how profoundly seeing himself as the center of the universe affects his behavior. I think it's something we would do well not to lose sight of.

Behind the newspaper?
You have to turn your phone so the portrait is upside down.
