Trump skips Statue of Liberty museum opening that celebrates immigrants

By Emily Singer -
May 16, 2019

Trump skipped the opening of a museum at the Statue of Liberty that celebrates America's immigrant history.

Dignitaries from around the world gathered at the Statue of Liberty on Wednesday night to celebrate the opening of a new museum that offers context on the monument that's become a symbol of America's history of immigrants.

But one major figure was conspicuously absent from the opening: Trump.

Rather than attend the opening of the museum that highlights the history of the statue that became a symbol of America's immigrant fabric, Trump skipped the event to roll out yet another racist immigration proposal in Washington, D.C., that's doomed to failure.

The New York Daily News reported that Trump planned to attend the opening but bagged the idea after hearing rumblings that his attendance wouldn't be celebrated by the guests, who included former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
