Rachel Maddow gleeful as Trump hit with Presidents' Day 'present' for history lovers

On her Monday night broadcast, Rachel Maddow opened with what she called a Presidents’ Day “present” for history lovers: a federal judge ordering the Trump administration to restore references to slavery at the President’s House site in Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park. Maddow walked viewers through the fraught history of the long-lost home where George Washington and John Adams once lived, "— while Adams was not a slaveholder, George Washington was," said Maddow. She then blasted Trump’s effort to scrub that truth from public view. In a stinging ruling that invoked George Orwell's 1984, a George W. Bush appointed judge declared the government cannot, “assemble and disassemble historic truths” at will. The injunction forces the administration to put the slavery exhibits back, delivering what Maddow gleefully framed as a court-ordered restoration of reality.
