A placard that proclaims “God Hates Trump” has “Trump” blotted out so that it reads “God Hates.” A sign that reads “Trump & GOP — Hands Off Women” has the word Trump blurred out.

Perhaps it has been determined that the word Trump is obscene. Either that or the corruption that surrounds everything Trump has infected the National Archive.

I know someone who calls my description of various things in Trump-world Orwellian "childish." I'm looking forward to hearing how calling this one Orwellian is "childish."

There are children who call things Orwellian? Color me impressed.
