Trump has well known animosity towards NA's Jealous of their casinos

We all know he is a "punch down" guy. And he loves to insult anyone he can

Perhaps he will turn the exhibits into "to the victors go the spoils" brag fest. Like celebrating all the massacres and filling the place up with plunder and stolen artifacts, skeletons etc. Ginned-up portrayals of Natives as savages, etc Old saying: history is written by the winners
