Trump removes Martin Luther King bust from White House in latest disrespectful move

The move comes as Donald Trump hosted pundit Charlie Kirk, who’s called the Civil Rights Act a “huge mistake” that has diminished the existence of white Americans

Donald Trump has removed Dr Martin Luther King’s bust from the oval office as the president continues to host a right wing “activist” who labelled the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “huge mistake”.

The tribute to the iconic “I have a dream” speech maker that sat front and centre during Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s presidencies has been re-shuffled to Trump’s private dining room, according to Black Press USA. It comes after the controversy over the unseen MLK files.

It comes as Trump, just days after an embarrassing humiliation, undoes the efforts of Biden’s government and restore several more Army base names that originally honored Confederate military figures, undoing a renaming process ordered by Congress. Trump was also accused of ‘fascism’ after ‘unacceptable’ behavior.

Images of the Oval Office showed that the bust was present during Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s visit in April but disappeared soon after, according to Meidas Touch News.

The bust of the civil rights leader may have been sidelined as Trump continues to host Charlie Kirk, who claims the Civil Rights movement has contributed to erasure of white people claiming that viewing black people as equal to white people under the law has created a “permanent DEI-type bureaucracy” that is “diminishing and decreasing white demographics in America”.

Kirk, has publicly questioned whether the MLK federal holiday should be slashed.

Trump then appointed Kirk to the United States Air Force Academy Board of Visitors and allowed him access to the White House including during the swearing-in ceremony of Judge Jeanine Pirro.

It is likely that the alleged removal is not an interior design preference but a significant political stance that points to Trump’s enthusiasm for platforming voices that question the US stance on equality and erasure of segregation.

Trump has also listed out seven Army bases that will revert to a variation of their original names. Under this process, the bases won’t be formally named after Confederates who took up arms against the U.S. during the Civil War, but instead after other service members who share similar names.

Previously Trump siad of the army bases: “They changed the name, we won wars out of these forts, they changed the name, they changed the name of the forts.

“A lot of people aren’t too happy about that.” He is believed to be referring to the nine US military institutions which were named after Confederate generals – and have since been renamed in honor of people who didn’t fight against the United States.
