Trump has dubbed his Venezuelan exploit as the “Donroe Doctrine”. It is of a piece with his rebranding of history, along with dropping mention of his impeachments from his picture caption at the National Portrait Gallery and coercing the Smithsonian not to focus on “how bad slavery was”. He told the Times that the civil rights movement of the 1960s resulted in “white people” being “very badly treated”. He presents himself anachronistically as the White Citizens’ Council president.
