6. I also said back on 1/30 that Trump should get his butt to Holocaust Museum to allay his proclamation SNAFU, then the Spicer flub. https://t.co/T4n0K1Srgi

— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017

7. Wasn't the Holocaust Museum, but Trump showed up at the Rotunda for Days of Remembrance. U.S. Grant & Horatio Gates needed no prompter. pic.twitter.com/O8LSQdSM4h

— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017

25. There weren't any musket props used, as Chuck Heston did at the NRA convention in Charlotte, 5/20/2000 – the "cold, dead hands" line. pic.twitter.com/cruiap5QY0

— Josh King (@Polioptics) April 28, 2017

26. But the medium shot worked as well as Trump might have hoped, framing him with the fragment of the word "Leadership" that he likes most. pic.twitter.com/qMr2FU608M

27. We're 99 days done with Trump's 1st term. 1,362, and millions of images, to go. I'll always remember this, from Day One. Quite a guy. pic.twitter.com/VF5FY5oDsv
