Addendum what seems implicit in this contrast, is the idea that Eisenhower is #PleaAuthenticity.ic whereas Milley is seemingly, #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated, and therefore inauthentic. #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych

Supplementary the 'lose' statement seems to echo #IRLScholarCarolDweck's #TheoryMindsetFixed: "In a fixed mindset, individuals believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. Those with a fixed mindset believe there is no increasing their talents or abilities. They believed they will be born with all the ability they will have. Those with a fixed mindset only enjoy hearing about their success. On the other side, those with a fixed mindset dread failure because they see it as never being able to succeed in the future" [Wikipedia]

Context response to video tweet of Trump remarking at the #2020_WhiteHouseConferenceonAmericanHistory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVA_t4IJXDc&t=952s that: "For many years now, the radicals have mistaken Americans' silence for weakness. But they're wrong.
There is no more powerful force than a parent's love for their children. And patriotic moms and dads are going to demand that their children are no longer fed hateful lies about this country. American parents are not going to accept indoctrination in our schools, cancel culture at our work, or the repression of traditional faith, culture, and values in the public square. Not anymore" (17 September 2020). [digital archives]

#NMUSPublicBroadcastingServicePBSNewsHourAmnaNawaz "President Trump described Smithsonian museums as 'out of control' for emphasizing, in his view, 'how bad slavery was.' It's part of a pattern by Trump in his second term to reframe historical narratives, in particular about racism and discrimination. Amna Nawaz spoke with historian Peniel Joseph for our series, Art in Action..." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/scholar-says-trumps-efforts-to-reframe-u-s-history-is-reminiscent-of-mccarthyism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Amxmov1aos #BrandTechSocialMediaAltTruthSocial #2025_ "The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of 'WOKE.' The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the 'HOTTEST' Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums."

#NMUSNBCNewsDarehGregorian "'In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief,' Trump said during his address Thursday -- although the army was not named after Washington. It then got stranger.
'Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket's red glare it had nothing but victory.'" https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-blames-teleprompter-revolutionary-war-airports-flub-n1026931

Addendum Poster praises #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's act to create the #1776_Commission, which is tasked with promoting so called 'patriotic education' (which given Trump's 'Make America Great Again' #PleaMAGA version of #PoliticsNationalismAmerican - is inevitably a nostalgic effort of #TheoryRevisionismHistorical). The tweet references statements made at the White House History Conference at the National Archives in Washington, DC i.e. #NMUSCableSatellitePublicAffairsNetworkCSPAN https://www.c-span.org/video/?475934-1/president-trump-announces-1776-commission-restore-patriotic-education-nations-schools (video.foxnews.com link not accessible). According to the poster, the act is an attack on Critical Race Theory supposedly promoted by what they characterise as #TauntLeftist.
