  • Trump's Portrait at Smithsonian: Impeachment History Removed

    01:43|
    Former President Trumps portrait at the Smithsonians National Portrait Gallery has undergone a significant change. The wall text detailing his two impeachments has been removed, making him the only president in the American Presidents exhibit without an extended summary. The original text highlighted his Supreme Court picks, COVID vaccine push, and his comeback win in the 2024 election, while noting his impeachments. However, this information is still accessible online but not on the wall. Trump ordered a review of all Smithsonian exhibits to focus on American exceptionalism ahead of the nations 250th birthday. The gallery is updating the exhibit this spring with shorter labels, and impeachment history remains accessible elsewhere in Smithsonian museums. Trump has been actively shaping how U.S. history is told, including firing the head of the National Archives and pressuring the portrait gallerys director to resign. This change comes as his new Freedom 250 group plans massive celebrations for Americas birthday bash. Checkout Solipillow.com
