Trump used a Black History Month celebration at the White House to deliver a rambling, self-centered speech that turned a century of Black history into a personal loyalty parade. While his administration actively dismantles diversity programs, erases references to slavery from public monuments, and purges Black military leaders, he stood in a room full of Black Americans and performed care he has never demonstrated through policy. The event, combined with new coordinated language distinguishing "American-born citizens" from naturalized citizens, reveals a propaganda strategy designed to mask systematic harm.

The Breakdown
Trump turned the 100th anniversary of Black History Month into a campaign event, reducing Reverend Jesse Jackson's legacy to a few dismissive lines before parading pardoned supporters on stage to praise him
His administration is actively erasing Black history by removing references to slavery from federal exhibits, gutting DEI programs, and purging prominent Black military leaders
Coordinated language from both Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt distinguishing "American-born citizens" from other Americans signals the construction of a two-tier citizenship framework
The expansion of detention facilities to hold 92,600 people raises urgent questions about who these beds are intended for if borders are already being closed
The FDA reversed its refusal to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application, proving that organized public pushback against this administration can produce results
Winning future elections alone will not be enough without accountability, transparency, and real judicial consequences for those who have worked to dismantle democratic institutions
